Re: using popup dialog boxes with perl gladexml

[B McAndrews <bmcandrews efs-us com>]

Let me answer my own question, in the hope that someone else may benefit :)

I was not specifying the specific node to retrieve when calling 
GladeXML->new
ie,
my $gladexml = Gtk2::GladeXML->new('myglade.glade');
my $login = $gladexml->get_widget('mydialog');
$login->show();
$login->run();
so subsequently, it displayed both my dialog and window.

Getting the specific node enabled me to just get the dialog box:

my $gladexml = Gtk2::GladeXML->new('myglade.glade','mydialog');
my $login = $gladexml->get_widget('mydialog');
$login->show();
$login->run();
#verify login
...
$login->destroy();

# now get the main window
$gladexml = Gtk2::GladeXML->new('myglade.glade','window1');
...
Gtk2->main
