Question about modal window

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

Dear all,

I need to create a modal child window.
So far I use gtk_window, but it has one problem

usually I have self.modal = true in initialize method and *self.modal

false* in close method.
problem is close method doesn’t work if the child window is closed by
clicking x button at the frame,
so if a user click it, child window disappear but modal state doesn’t
change to false so parent window can’t be accessed

so my question is,

is it the right way to create a modal child window, if not, what widget
should I use?
or
if it is, what event can I use for changing modal state before close,
I already use *delete_event and destroy *but it doesn’t work

Thanks

so my question is,

is it the right way to create a modal child window, if not, what widget
should I use?

When I need a modal window, I use Dialog:

dialog=Gtk::Dialog::new(“Title”,@parent_window,Gtk::Dialog::MODAL)

I pack dialog.vbox with whatever I want to show, and I add one or more
buttons - for example, if I just want the user to close the window I
write:

dialog.add_button(‘CLOSE’,Gtk::Dialog::RESPONSE_CANCEL)
dialog.signal_connect(‘response’) do |w,r|
dialog.destroy()
end

and I complete with

dialog.show_all()

I hope this helps

I manage to get it right using dialog like your suggestion, although
many
part of code needs to change
