Darkening form
« on: September 19, 2023, 01:26:39 pm »
On qt5, when I show a dialog, all other forms get darkened and disabled. Lazarus itself behaves the same when opening any option window. How can I get this effect in my app? Currently I simply disable the form, but that doesn't apply this darker gray overlay to the form, and generally looks very different.

Also can this be emulated on windows?

That's window manager effect AFAIR, and it shows overlay above blocked forms when modal window or dialog is shown.

Perfect, thanks.

If I show my second form with Form.ShowModal instead of Form.Visible:=true it indeed applies that effect on kde plasma. Great!

I thought so about it being a wm thing.
