Re: [gtkmm] focus to DialogWindow

["Andreas B. Thun" <abt gmx de>]

Hi Jeff, thx for the hint.

unfortunately I am not able to set the focus to my dialog window
like this:
Something wrong in my code?

	Gtk::MessageDialog dialog(*this, m_message, type, Gtk::BUTTONS_YES_NO);
	dialog.set_title(m_title);
	dialog.set_default_response(Gtk::RESPONSE_NO);
	dialog.set_transient_for(*this);  // Cause window to be on top.
	Glib::signal_idle().connect(SigC::bind_return(SigC::slot(dialog,
&Gtk::Window::present), false));
	m_response = dialog.run();
