    Can you specify what you mean by "modal pop-up"?  What particular use case are you trying to accomplish?

    Like if someone reads something he has to acknowledge that through a pop-up. Until he acknowledges the entire screen will be greyed out except the notification

    I don't know of any direct way to do this specifically, though if you familiarize yourself with existing interface funcitonality and options, i'm guessing you'd be able to figure out an implementation that satisfies this requirement (though perhaps with a slightly different design) using existing components.

    Or, just as Stewart Burchell said you show the message to be read and confirmation controls, but instead of hiding the other inputs you could also disable them.  The message and confirmation can go away, or get a green background, or whatever you want, and then you enable all the other controls on the form.

    Is there some activity that the user performs to cause the message to appear, or is it as soon as the form loads? If the user does something to cause the message and confirmation to appear, that can open up some more opportunities to customize how it displays.
