I see Matt's already replied, and I have to say, I agree with his analysis, re not calling set_override(). It should not be necessary, simply calling set_modal should have the desired effect. The only place we actually use set_override() (AFAIK anyway) is for tooltip windows, where forcing them always on top makes sense. Setting it on your first modal window is almost certainly preventing any subsequent window being made topmost... So, try just the set_modal() and see how that goes. > Any suggestions how I can force fltk to display the second modal dialog > on top of the first? You don't say what platform you are on, but on X11 or WIN32 that ought to pretty much just work - though it might be a good idea to call show() on your prior modal window, just before you set the new one modal and show it, as in some cases I have found (probably superstition) that doing so helps ensure the transient property gets the right parent and so forth... On OSX, I have found that having multiple modal windows can be a bit fragile, OSX does not really have the concept of modal windows, and the way we enforce it used to be a bit flaky at times; though that said it seems a lot better these days, so your ought to be fine! _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
