Hi Mikhail! I will look into this proposal later, just out of curiosity, to see if this too works well.
Thank you for your reply!

I feel like there should be something inside plain gtk+ as well to validate result within dialog and not a main application. I guess you can handle signal response not to close dialog at the first place if you don't like an idea of rerunning it.

It had also crossed my mind to move the validation to the main app, but of some reason I thought it would be neater to have it where it actually should be taken care of. But your solution will work perfectly ok, and actually also, when I think about it, look quite nice. So, once again, thank you! And thank you for pointing things out about the delete-event. :o) Best regards, Paul ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lex Trotman <[email protected]> Date: 8 April 2011 21:41 Subject: Re: Keep dialogs open and running even if clicking OK To: Paul Everlund <[email protected]> [...] > Some pseudo/real-code maybe describes it better: > > class MainApp > def initialize() > @glade = GladeXML.new(bla, bla, bla) {|handler| method(handler)} > end > > def on_menuUserPassword_activate(widget) > gUP = UserPasswordDlgGlade.new() > dlg = gUP.get_widget("UPDlg") > dlg.show() > result = dlg.run() Suggest you do the validation here and if it fails, show the fail message then loop back to dlg.run to give them another go, note you haven't hidden the dialog yet so the user won't see any change.
