[Gtk-sharp-list] Run Window as Modal Dialog

[Mariano Benedettini]

Hello,

I've done something similar, setting the parent window as transient for 
the child one.
A problem I found is that, unless I grab keyboard and mouse for the 
child window, the keyboard cursor doesn't show properly.


	[...]

	[Widget] private Gtk.Window windowParent;
	[Widget] private Gtk.Window windowChild;

	[...]

private void BuildProperties()
{

	windowChild.TransientFor = windowParent;
	windowParent.Realize();
	windowChild.Realize();
		
	windowChild.ShowAll();
	windowParent.ShowAll();

	SetGrabbing(windowChild, false);
					
	windowChild.Move( 100, 300);
}

private bool SetGrabbing(Widget widget, bool confined)
	{
		Gdk.Window widgetGdkWin = widget.GdkWindow;
		Gdk.Window widgetConfinedGdkWin;
		
		if (confined) {
			widgetConfinedGdkWin = widget.GdkWindow;
		} else {
			widgetConfinedGdkWin = null;
		}
		
		Grab.Add(widget);
		
		if (Gdk.Keyboard.Grab(widgetGdkWin, true, 0) != Gdk.GrabStatus.Success)
		{
			Grab.Remove(widget);
			return false;
		}
		
		if (Gdk.Pointer.Grab(widgetGdkWin, true, Gdk.EventMask.ButtonPressMask 
| Gdk.EventMask.ButtonReleaseMask | Gdk.EventMask.PointerMotionMask, 
widgetConfinedGdkWin, null, 0) != Gdk.GrabStatus.Success)
		{
			Console.WriteLine("Grab de mouse no conseguido.");
			Grab.Remove(widget);
			Gdk.Keyboard.Ungrab(0);
			return false;
		}
		
		return true;
		
	}


Both windows are in the same glade file.
HTH :-)
