Any way to stop the clickthrough

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm trying to open a dialog which will essentially lock the rest of the screen until it is closed.

I tried making it cover the entire screen, but the mouse click still goes through to what's behind (clickthrough).

so, two questions:

1. Is there an easy way to lock the entire screen?

2. How can I prevent the click-through

Thanks

If i understood you right you want to lock the kerbal ui. Try using the InputLockManager:

 InputLockManager.SetControlLock(ControlTypes.All, "lockID");

This will lock the entire ui. Set it once your window appears or the cursor enters the window.

And once you are done:

InputLockManager.RemoveControlLock("lockID");

.

That's almost perfect, thanks.

Is there any way to merely lock all except my window? What I'd like to happen, is that when the Escape key is pressed, to open my window and lock everything else. I'd like them to be able to leave my window either by typing another Escape or by pressing a button on my window.

Thanks

You can try something like this:

private const ControlTypes BLOCK_ALL_CONTROLS = ControlTypes.ALL_SHIP_CONTROLS | ControlTypes.ACTIONS_ALL | ControlTypes.EVA_INPUT | ControlTypes.TIMEWARP | ControlTypes.MISC | ControlTypes.GROUPS_ALL | ControlTypes.CUSTOM_ACTION_GROUPS;
...more code...
InputLockManager.SetControlLock(BLOCK_ALL_CONTROLS, "mylock");
...
InputLockManager.RemoveControlLock("mylock");

Salud.

As far as i am aware your windows and any mods windows wont be locked by default. Except if they check the lock status.

That is absolutely correct, thank you.

It works very well now.
