I have got a major Problem with the Filechooserbutton widget, I have added it in a MessageDialog and it is running with no problems, but the new filechoose widget witch is generated after i clicked the Filechoserbutton is beneath the MessageDialog (in witch the button is), is there any possibility to set that this new filechooser widget will be shown on top of the MessageDialog? greetings jens * * * Take Surveys.

Hi. Have you tried the following methods: dialog.has\_focus=true dialog.set\_transient\_for(@window) where @window would be your message dialog?
