Is it possible to make your GUI not just AlwaysOnTop but also AlwaysActive, so it becomes like a MsgBox? I'm just not sure what the best way to go about this is. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Code:

settimer, check, 10
check:
WinWaitNotActive, the Gui name
Gui, restore
return

This is good, but what I really need is to detect a mouse click event outside of the GUI Window that would cause it to be no longer active...

In other words, I suppose what I'm looking for is a GUI that only allows mouse events within its window, possibly also keyboard events too..

You could use the Hotkey command to set mouse hotkeys (LButton, RButton, etc.) when the GUI is shown, and to disable them when the GUI is closed.

FYI, MsgBox is not "always active."
