Re: [gtk-list] Re: Modal Dialog Box

[Markus Minihold <Markus Minihold telecom at>]

Thanks a lot for your tip. The event loop now is captured by the dialog box
and you have to answer it. But what I'm missing is that a modal dialog box
stays always on top of the application window. I have now the affect that the
dialog box has to be anwered and that I can activate the parent window, which
overlaps the dialog box. Is there any functions which prevents this - e.g.
stay on top of application.
