capturing mouse and key events in parent window while child window is opened.

1 New Member
I have used the following javascript code to get a child window for parent window.

childWin =window.open(ur l,"window","top =250,left=250,h eight=100,width =480,status=no, toolbar=no,menu bar=no,location =no");

As the child window is not a modal dialog, user can minimize the window and do other actions in parent window.
Please help me to avoid that.
Even if the child window is minimized, when user tries to do some action in parent window, minimized child window should pop up.User should only clo9se the child window and proceed furthur in parent window.

Thanks in advance.

Add mouse and key events to the document (onmousedown, onkeypress, etc.) and check if childWin exists. If it does, cancel the event and give focus to the child window. You should try to use this sparingly.

I have a website which has a popup window (this only opens when the user chooses to open it). In the popup window I have a <select> control which lists a selection of "classes". Each class has a description and a class_id (stored in the value attribute of each option). The user will then select a class from the drop-down list. What I want to do is have a control in the parent browser window which can store the class_id and the...

Hi, I am coding for an application with dialog window. I need intercept mouse input. I need catch raw input, pretty much everything for WM_INPUT: such as Left/Middle/Right button down/up, srcoll/wheel, pull and drag, device source. I checked SetWindowsHookEx, it seems it can't catch so much infor, only LButton RButton Down/Up? What function should I use or maybe I should ask how to hook Dialog box message Proc? Thanks

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed. (I got lost trying to figure it all out). Therefore, here goes my simple "web dialog box with parent event handler fireing" solution. ...

Is there a way to decouple the linkage between a parent and a child window? Does the parent window have any sort of a collection that holds all the children that it has spawned? I want to break that connection from the parent side or the child side, it doesn't matter as long as the communication link is completely broken. I don't want the parent to be aware of the child and vice-versa.
