Example: Display a modal window

Hi everybody,

lately, I needed to show a modal dialog window within an automated testcase: The system was not completely automated yet and a user had to take a few Actions on another system before the test could proceed.

This is partially like this: pause-test-with-message-box-t12193.html but I needed a window which was always on foreground. I ran into some trouble creating a truely modal window but with some Inspiration from here https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18 ... MessageBox I finally got it done.
My code is a quick hack; it opens a window, presents a text and automatically closes the window after a given time has passed or if the 'OK'-button is clicked.

Maybe this is helpful to you.

Let me know...

Code: Select all

/// <summary>
		/// <para/>Stellt ein Fenster dar. Es gibt einen Button 'OK'. 
		/// <para/>Das Fenster schließt sich alternativ nach 'pSeconds' Sekunden.
		/// <para/>
		/// <para/>30.08.2018	A.Fischer	Erste Version
		/// <para/>18.09.2018	A.Fischer	Fenster ist immer im Vordergrund
		/// 
		/// </summary>

		public static void showWindow_Timer(String pText, int pSeconds){			
			
			WinForms.Form wndALibi = new WinForms.Form();
        	wndALibi.MinimizeBox = false;
        	wndALibi.MaximizeBox = false;
        	wndALibi.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1, 1);
	        wndALibi.StartPosition = WinForms.FormStartPosition.Manual;
	        wndALibi.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0  , 5000);
	        
	        WinForms.Form frmThing = new WinForms.Form();
	        
	        //Delegates: #FTW #HackThePlanet #MWarrrHarrrHarrrr!

			System.Windows.Forms.Timer timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

		        frmThing.Dispose();

		    };

			frmThing.MaximizeBox = false;

			frmThing.Controls.Add( lblInfo );
				
			frmThing.StartPosition = WinForms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
