I'm developing under windows xp and have a menubar on top of my window.

With default xp theme, I don't see any border around menubar, but, with classical theme there is a border around menubar and I don't know how to hide it.



I have another "problem" too and regards to gtk_message_dialog_new.
When I run a message dialog and minimize my app (to hidden all windows' app), when I restore my app again the message dialog stays behind main window! And 'cause I created it as modal, main windows doesn't responds and seems like application is broken, but it is not but waiting to close message dialog.

Hi Clinisbut

I don't know about your menubar problem
(where did you get the winxp theme?)


For your second problem:
I did that on linux and it worked well:

Code: (C)
1
gtk_window_set_transient_for((GtkWindow*) window_dialog, (GtkWindow*)window_main);


Let me know if it solves your problem

The winxp theme comes bundled with winxp itself.

gtk_window_set_transient_for() seems to not solve my problem.
This is how I used:
Code: (C)
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

GtkWidget* advise;
    advise = gtk_message_dialog_new( GTK_WINDOW(this->window), flags, type, button, string );
        gtk_window_set_transient_for( (GtkWindow*)advise, (GtkWindow*)this->window );


gtk_window_set_title( GTK_WINDOW(advise), "Information");
gtk_dialog_run( GTK_DIALOG(advise) );


But after minimize all and restore app window, main windows is showing upon dialog.[/quote]

Hi again

Try to modify the type hint of your dialog:

Quote:
Code: (C)
1
2
3

void                gtk_window_set_type_hint            (GtkWindow *window,
                                                         GdkWindowTypeHint hint);


By setting the type hint for the window, you allow the window manager to decorate and handle the window in a way which is suitable to the function of the window in your application.

This function should be called before the window becomes visible.

gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons() and other convenience functions in GTK+ will sometimes call gtk_window_set_type_hint() on your behalf.

I use as hint:
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NOTIFICATION
but I beleive that's a mistake and I (you) should use
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG


Also did you put your main windows as modal? or your dialog as modal
If your main windows is modal, I guess it migth be the problem and you should remove the modal (at least during the life time of your dialog window)
