Hello, ``` I am hoping to find a way to `lock` the main screen behind a Floating pop-up. I am currently using the window's Layer property = 1 on the pop-up to ensure that it stays on top of the main window even if you click outside of the popup. However, you can still interact with the main window behind. I am looking for a way to completely lock (but not close) the main window behind the popup other than manually 'disabling' all of the objects on the main window. ``` Thanks. ---
