Thanks for point it, when I created this function it was based on the need from callback functions to to recover the root/top-level window to access it or other neighbor widgets. I agree that top_window (meaning the Fl_Group root parent of all parent.parent). Fl_Group *Fl_Widget::top_window(); Also I was returning NULL when no parent is found thinking that could exist any widget without parent and not being a top-window (maybe it doesn't exist). _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
