RE: how to block a main function until the death of a pop-up Dial ogWidget...

[martyn 2 russell bt com]

Why not set the Dialog to be modal, that way the rest of the application
waits on the destroy event from that window?

If so, have a look at: gtk_window_set_modal function on this page:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtkwindow.html#GTK-WINDOW-SET-MODAL

Martyn

Hi,

In a command line program in C : 
when you want the user to make an input, you use scanf : scanf stop the
progression of the program until the user have made the input.
I need to make the same with my application in GTK,
my main function is processing, then it creates a DialogWidget and i have to
wait its death before going on (=polling?).

I've tried something like:
 `while(!flag_ok_dialog_finish);`
but it eats all my computer ressources'.

If someone has an idea...

   Thank you in advance.

                Regards.
                                        Cyrille :-)
