I have a textbox popup I want to display to my users. When it pops up
i want everything else (entire application) to look like it has been
semi greyed out. If labels had opacity levels that would be great
because I'd just set it to a color of grey and change it opacity to
50% which would show the transparent application while giving it the
look of being out of reach untill the user fills in the textbox popup.

Any ideas?

Forms have opacity levels... (On Win2K and later, anyway). Could you try
opening a new form with no imagery or controls on it with its dimensions
exactly matching you main application window, and set its opacity to 50%?
