RE: Closing Main window with out Closing the child window

["Prabhakar Muthuswamy" <Prabhakar Muthuswamy raritan com>]

Thanks Yeti, How do I destroy first the firstwindow when I don't have
that pointer when I pop up the second window? By default glade creates
the first window pointer in main.c. In my callbacks.c I don't have
access to this pointer to destroy that window.

Secondly if I have more than 3 windows with each having OK and Cancel
button how do I differentiate between them? All these buttons have same
signal on_ok_button_clicked and on_cancel_button_clicked. They are
redefined in callbacks.c.

Closing any window does not terminate the application,
unless you set it up so.  And there is no main window (well,
your app perhaps has a main window, but that concept is
introduced by the app, not by Gtk+).

So, do not terminate the app in the "destroy" callback of
the window, or disconnect the callback, or just stop doing
the thing that makes your app quit.  Then you can simply
destroy the first window when you show the second one.
