Re: how to implement a modal window

[Antonio Gomes <tonikitoo gmail com>]

Hi Neo,

as far as I understand, this piece of code can used to create an new
window "inside " the main window. is it what you want ?!

void button_click_cb (GtkWindow *button, GPointer *user_pointer) {

        GtkWidget *Dialog = gtk_dialog_new ();
        gtk_widget_set_size_request (Dialog, 240, 320);
        gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), ("Page Info"));
        gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT);
        gtk_window_set_modal (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), TRUE);
        gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), 240, 320);
        gtk_window_set_resizable (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), FALSE);
        gtk_window_set_decorated (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), TRUE);
        gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), TRUE);
        gtk_window_set_skip_pager_hint (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), TRUE);
        gtk_window_set_type_hint (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG);
        gtk_window_set_gravity (GTK_WINDOW (Dialog), GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_EAST);
        gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW(Dialog),
GTK_WINDOW(main_window->topLevelWindow));
 (...)

}

regards

PS: sorry if I do not undestand as you expect :S
