    EnableWindow(FALSE) disables the window. If it is used properly then it does work.
    How do you use it? Show your code.

    The situation like this most probably indicates certain (or huge) problem in UI design. Having a pile of disabled windows on my desktop would look messy and annoying to me. Having one super modal window popping up when a second before I was working with modeless dialogs would annoy me even more. Your app must be of really high value to stay installed on my workstation.

    You need to demo us about what "not works." As Victor already said, it does work when used proper way.
    Best regards,
