This MessageBox based on the Popup-Windowstyle, should be able to tie up 
(forestall) all other events, while awaiting the input.
It was impossible to prevent all other messages but our own (eg. mouseclicks
outside our own window produces malfunctions).

We used the following program part, to wait for the selection :

   HWND hWnd;   /* Windowhandle of Popup-Window */

   hWnd = CreateWindow(..., WS_POPUP, ...);
   while (GetMessage(&msg, hWnd, 0, 0))
   {
      TranslateMessage(&msg);
      DispatchMessage(&msg);
   }
