Dialog box without forced focus

[derFabian]

Dear list,

I have written a macro which applies a couple of filters and overlays the result with the original image. Everything happens within a loop at the end of which the user can give feedback. If he/she is happy, the loop terminates; if not, everything is repeated with different settings. I am currently using getBoolean() for the feedback. My problem is that the image is a stack and to really evaluate whether he is happy the user needs to be able to scroll through it. However, once the MessageBox is displayed no other windows can be selected. Is there a way to create a message box without forced focus?

Thanks a lot.

Best,
Fabian
