[Pythoncard-users] Question about child-window, dialog z-order

[<kim...@ya...>]

Hello list,

I am writing an app involving child-window.  When the
child window invokes a dialogbox, it switches focus to
the main windows first, before poping up. Of course,
when it closes, the child-window becomes underneath
the main window.

Is there a parameter I am suppose to set or something
in order to maintain the proper z-order?

Thanks,

--
John

Hey man,

At the end of your method which calls the dialog box i.e.=20

def foo(self, event):
<some stuff>
<dialog is called>
<Dialog has finished, now call...>
self.Raise()

Try it, it may flicker, however.

I've seen this same symptom on the Mac--it doesn't seem to happen on 
Windows, which explains why Alex hasn't see this problem.

To avoid the flicker problem, I usually uncheck "Visible at Startup" in 
the Background Info dialog in resource editor for a child window, and then 
explicitly set self.visible=True right before the self.Raise() statement.

That doesn't happen for me; this little sample below opens its main 
window, then a child window overlapping it; when you click on the button 
within the child, the child window stays above the main window with the 
dialog above the child. After the dialog is closed, the child remains on 
top and has focus.

This might give you somewhere to start comparisons - or if you like, 
send the code that is misbehaving to me and I'll try to determine where 
the difference is.
