If anyone's interested as to how to do it, this should work.

jscript code:

---

// make the parent window, make a variable for the child window
var WndParent = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Interface.xml", "WndParent");
var WndChild = null;

// use any event here, this is just an example
function OnWndParentEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId)
{
    if (ControlId === "BtnConfirm")
    {
        // create the child, disable and monitor the parent
        WndChild = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Interface.xml", "WndChild");
        Interop.Call("user32", "EnableWindow", WndParent.Handle, false);
        WndParent.RegisterMessageNotification(0x0006);
    }
}

// when the parent window is focused
function OnWndParentEvent_MessageNotification(PlusWnd, Message, wParam, lParam)
{
    if (wParam !== 0)
    {
        try
        {
            // focus the child window
            Interop.Call("user32", "SetFocus", WndChild.Handle);
            Interop.Call("user32", "BringWindowToTop", WndChild.Handle);
        }
        catch (error)
        {
        }
    }
}

function OnWndChildEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId)
{
    switch (ControlId)
    {
        case "BtnOk":
            // do whatever here, then close the child
            PlusWnd.Close(1);
            break;
    }
}

function OnWndChildEvent_Destroyed(PlusWnd, ExitCode)
{
    // enable and focus the child window
    Interop.Call("user32", "EnableWindow", WndParent.Handle, true);
    Interop.Call("user32", "SetFocus", WndParent.Handle);
}
