[Glade-users] {Glade-Users] Adding a Dialog window to the top-level window

Okee-Dokee...did that...but I think now that the thread that throws up the
dialog tries to do so before the main window is brought up...I assume that
is a no-no, since the widget pointer I use in the gtk_window_set_transient_for()
call for the parent window will not have been "shown" yet...<br>
<br>
This seems to be borne out in my testing...my code snippet is:<br>
<br>
<small><tt>&nbsp;/*-----&nbsp; Open a log 
file&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
*/</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp; if ((LogFile = fopen("./guisyslog", "r")) != NULL)</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp; {</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /* COMPLAIN (open dialog) about existing file
*/</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
printf("&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;
LOGGING file already exists &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
");</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; LoggerErrorDialog = 
create_Logger_Dialog();</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW(LoggerErrorDialog),</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 GTK_WINDOW(HardwareControl));</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /* gtk_widget_show(LoggerErrorDialog); 
*/</tt></small><small><tt><br>
</tt></small><small><tt>&nbsp; }</tt></small><br>
<br>
Before I commented out the &nbsp;gtk_widget_show for the logger dialog window,
I got a core dump trying to execute that command....but now the dialog won't
display at all...<br>
<br>
I'm going to try to put the widget show for the dialog in the main thread
after the main HardwareControl widget_show...but that bothers me on some
unknown object-orientation level &nbsp;*L* &nbsp;Is there a better way to handle this?
&nbsp;Must I set some kind of *shudder* global flag in my thread so the dialog
can be opened later on in the main thread?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
