Thanks=2E =20
I've now got things partially working=2E I can display a dialog, but not =
in
a way that I can close it!
I've taken the ColorDialog from example 7 and combined with the code from
example 10 as shown below=2E The ColorDialog displays correctly on top of=
my
screen content, and the game blocks in the event loop shown below=2E The
controls in the dialog work correctly except for the dialog close control
(the red button top right) - clicking on this does nothing=2E
I wondered if I needed to "open" the dialog instead of "add"ing it so I
tried commenting out the c=2Eadd line and adding an app=2Eopen (as shown h=
ashed
out below)=2E This didn't make any difference though except that after a
while I hit an exception of some sort=2E=2E=2E
Can anyone offer any further suggestions please=3F

Hi,
Unfortunately this code cant be compiled as is, so I cant test what I'm
about to write. Hope it can help anyway. What happens if you take out the
c.add() command, and put in a c.open() command? Then it should work, right?
Maybe you need to do some extra cleanup, since it might be that the window
actually does close, but is still on the screen since PGU has nothing else
to paint over it. Try and see if the colordialog close method is invoked,
and work from there.
Regards,
Jasper

Okay, so I think I am very nearly there ... (Many thanks for your help)
I've changed to using "open" rather than "add". I've got round the fact tha=
t
it was then crashing (I had defined a timer event that was clashing with a
mouse event). And you were right, the only reason the dialog didn't seem to
be closing was because I wasn't overwriting the screen contents with
anything.
However, the reason that I am not overwriting with anything is because I am
not breaking out of my event loop when the dialog is closed. Should some
sort of event be generated when the dialog is closed that I can pick up in
my event loop? I don't believe an event is generated at the moment (I've
traced all events being received), but clearly there must be some way of
detecting when the dialog is closed?

Great, you'll have it working soon enough! Indeed, if you don't set the
_quit variable somewhere the loop never breaks. There are several options
there. Since it looks like you made _quit a global variable, you could
simply put _quit =3D 1 in the close() function of the dialog. Alternatively=
,
you could construct a quit event in the close() and send it. Then it'll
automatically get picked up by the event loop which will set _quit.
There are more complicated ways like periodically checking whether the
dialog is still opened, but this seems less efficient than just using the
close function options.

Jasper
