## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxWindowDisabler::wxWindowDisabler | ( | bool | disable = `true` | ) |

Disables all top level windows of the applications.

If disable is `false` nothing is done. This can be convenient if the windows should be disabled depending on some condition.

Since
  2.9.0

wxWindowDisabler::wxWindowDisabler | ( | wxWindow * | winToSkip | ) |

Disables all top level windows of the applications with the exception of winToSkip if it is not NULL.

Notice that under MSW if winToSkip appears in the taskbar, the user will be able to close the entire application (even though its main window is disabled) by right clicking on the taskbar icon and selecting the appropriate "Close" command from the context menu. To prevent this from happening you may want to use wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW, if applicable, or wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR style when creating the window that will remain enabled.

wxWindowDisabler::~wxWindowDisabler | ( |  | ) |

Reenables the windows disabled by the constructor.
