[pygtk] Attempting modal window in win32

[Volker Helm]

It does work!

you can select or edit something in the parent window! But it isn't nice that you can activate the parent window!

# Start test.py
import gtk

w1 = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
w1.connect('delete_event', lambda w, e: gtk.main_quit())

w2 = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
w2.set_transient_for(w1)
w2.set_modal(True)
w2.set_property('skip-taskbar-hint', True)


vb = gtk.VBox()
w1.add(vb)
b = gtk.Button('Open Modal')
b.connect('clicked', lambda w: w2.show_all())
vb.pack_start(b)
l = gtk.Entry()
l.set_text('Test')
vb.pack_start(l)

w1.show_all()

gtk.main()
# End test.py

In this test you can't edit the Entry if the child is present.

Bye,

Volker

> Hi,

snip
> # End test.py

> The steps for performing the case were:
> 
> 1) Run "python test.py"
> 2) Click on button "Open Modal"
> 3) Switch to any other app, clicking in the win taskbar
> 4) Switch back to the python app, clicking in the taskbar
> 
> Diagnosis: When siwtching back to the python app, it only shows the 
> parent window, insted of showing both windows with the child over its
> parent
> 
> Versions: Python 2.4.4, PyGTK 2.8.6, PyCairo 1.0.2
> 
> It seems like I'm missing a little detail... thanks!
> Of couse, in Linux it runs as expected, but I can't change the OS :(
