I would like to open a popup and make the underlying content(window and docked window) no longer interactive in any way until that popup closes.

For example, this type of functionality is present when the touch screen number pad or keyboard comes up. Is there a way I accomplish this with my own popup without programatically disabling every interactive component on the underlying screens?

Jordan,

That does it for the most part. Obviously I will still have to programatically disable my docked navigation bar, but this method will eliminate a bunch of work.

Thanks!
