Re: [gtkmm] Spawning a new windows from toplevel window

["Claudio Polegato Junior" <cpolegatojr_lsts pop com br>]

Hi,

  You should use the show() metode instead Gtk::Main::run() to show this window.
Then you should use set_transient_for() and set_modal() metodes to block the main
window interation with user.

  To you block the code on main window function when show signal window you need
see about dialog and its run() metode.
