The killfocus_cb callback is the way I would choose too.
I did a similar dialog, but it contains only one element, an IupText. So I
set the killfocus_cb on the IupText only. And make sure that when the
dialog is shown the focus is set to the IupText. It works ok.
But if you have several controls inside the dialog, then this is more
complicated.
One thing that helps is to set the PARENT attribute of the dialog to the
main dialog.
Best,
