Hi, I have an app that does the following to open a pop-up message window: dlgWin = gtk_message_dialog_new(GTK_WINDOW(mainWin), GTK_DIALOG_MODAL | GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT, GTK_MESSAGE_INFO, GTK_BUTTONS_OK, msgText); result = gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dlgWin)); gtk_widget_destroy(dlgWin); The problem is that the pop-up window is not acting as a modal dialog, at least in its Windows port (I haven't tried the Linux version). If I click on the main app window the message dialog disappears behind it, which can be confusing for a user (the main app window will not accept mouse clicks). Also, I have two dialogs opened with gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons. One uses "GTK_DIALOG_MODAL | GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT" and the other just "GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT", yet both of these appear to behave as modal dialogs (I cannot bring the main window to the front when either is open). Does GTK_DIALOG_MODAL normally work OK? Ian _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
