OK then,

Let me start with something we used to do alot (but I failed to figure  
out how to do it)

How exacly we call a messagedialog from another Window  
for example I have a window with a button  
when I clicked the button,  
it display a messagedialog as a modal form  
and when I press the ok button at the messagedialog, it close

my code goes this far then I got lost 🙂

require ‘libglade2’  
class Win1  
include GetText

attr :glade  
PROG\_PATH = “win1.glade”  
PROG\_NAME = “YOUR\_APPLICATION\_NAME”

def initialize  
call(PROG\_PATH, nil, PROG\_NAME)  
end

def call(path\_or\_data, root = nil, domain = nil, localedir = nil,  
flag = GladeXML::FILE)  
bindtextdomain(domain, localedir, nil, “UTF-8”)  
@glade = GladeXML.new(path\_or\_data, root, domain, localedir, flag)  
{|handler| method(handler)}  
@messagedialog1 = @glade.get\_widget(“messagedialog1”)  
#GtkMessageDialog  
@dialog\_vbox1 = @glade.get\_widget(“dialog\_vbox1”) #GtkVBox  
@dialog\_action\_area1 = @glade.get\_widget(“dialog\_action\_area1”)  
#GtkHButtonBox  
@window1 = @glade.get\_widget(“window1”) #GtkWindow  
@button1 = @glade.get\_widget(“button1”) #GtkButton  
end

def on\_button1\_clicked() #button1(on\_button1\_clicked)  
#What should I type here???  
end

def showMessagedialog1 #procedure to show  
messagedialog1(GtkMessageDialog)  
#and here???  
end

def showWindow1 #procedure to show window1(GtkWindow)  
@window1.show  
Gtk.main  
end

end

a = Win1.new  
a.showWindow1
