Windows 10 - Last version compiled

This maybe cannot be considered a bug, but I open this task to review it.

If you enable the Fullscreen mode and after making some changes select Quit in the menu, Blender looks frozen, but the problem is the Messagebox is hidden.

Really, it's not a bug, but for sure a lot of users will think Blender is locked.

Doing some research, it looks is not easy to make the messagebox to be on top of all in all situations.

Maybe, someone that know Ghost modules, could force the Fullscreen off in this situation.... it's only a idea.

Since this is windows (only?), maybe @LazyDodo knows?

you can pass MB_TOPMOST to the messagebox function and it'll be topmost, however i'd prefer we'd land D3118 which gets rid of the OS specific messagebox all together

@LazyDodo The Messagebox is already using MB_TOPMOST

return (MessageBox(window ? ((GHOST_WindowWin32 *)window)->getHWND() : 0, "Some changes have not been saved.\nDo you really want to quit?",
	                   "Exit Blender", MB_OKCANCEL | MB_ICONWARNING | MB_TOPMOST) == IDOK);

The thing is this code is working in 2.79, in 2.80 doesn't

I think your solution of using a general fix for all OS is better.

@brecht wants to add some feature to D3118 which could be a bit, so we still might have to look into fixing this ;/

perhaps adding MB_SETFOREGROUND will do the trick?

I have tested adding MB_SETFOREGROUND flag and gets the same result. I tried

"MB_OKCANCEL | MB_ICONWARNING | MB_TOPMOST | MB_SETFOREGROUND"

and

"MB_OKCANCEL | MB_ICONWARNING | MB_SETFOREGROUND"

with the same result

did some googling, this seems to be the same issue, but yikes, looks messy.
