[Lazarus] ShowModal always brings up MainForm, is this normal? (GTK)
All my forms are auto-created (is this relevant?). When I call (in MainForm) Form1.Show and then Form1 calls Form2.ShowModal, the MainForm is ALWAYS brought up behind Form2. If you have a document open and you want to work side-by-side with Form1 (and eventually Form2), you need to move MainForm somewhere (and sometimes there's no space) to avoid blocking the view of the document. Even if I minimize the MainForm before calling Form2.ShowModal, the MainForm always comes up. Is this normal? Is there a way to go around it? -- Atenciosamente, Alexsander da Rosa -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Also write (explain) as much possible about widgetset if you're under x11 (eg distro, window manager, libs version if you're talking about gtk2 or qt). zeljko -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Is this normal? Is there a way to go around it? Yes, I experience both in Windows and Linux (KDE). This applies to non-Lazarus made apps as well, so I guess it's system defined. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/Lazarus-ShowModal-always-brings-up-MainForm-is-this-normal-GTK-tp4039632p4039642.html Sent from the Free Pascal - Lazarus mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
