Markus, I have reread the post on stack overflow, the prevention of the UI seem to work once the "show()" of the dialog takes effect from the main thread. But by that time (due to a post of the message) another message may be queueed (from the second button).
This leaves two messages on the queue to be served by the main thread. msg1: show msg2: button2 I guess it is possible to quick fast enough to beat the system. May be you need to set a variable to detect this. Just thinking aloud...
