[mohamed: Re: Just one active window]

[Mohamed <mohamed 7val com>]

HI 

you have to use gdk_widget_grab(your window)
and     gdk_pointer_grab (..);
this will grab all kind of mouse event to your window .

to make gtk stop the execution of the current code and wait until you
destroy your modal window, you have to start a new event loop 
with : gtk_main ();
and don't forget to destroy it, in order to return to the parent process with :
gtk_main_quit();
take a  look to the event loop functions in the glib , once you
understand it it's easy to use it .


bye
