Having the potential to pop up an infinite number of dialog boxes from a background worker thread is not a particularly user-friendly design decision, in my opinion. I would recommend instead dedicating an area of your existing window or creating a single extra modeless window as a log area and then writing the message into that. (If a second error occurs, reuse the existing log window instead of creating a new one.) You can still call user attention to it by changing colours, flashing, or bringing the window to the front, without using a message box. _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
