[fxruby-users] Closing a modal FXDialogBox correctly?

[Philippe Lang]

Hi,

Very rarely, I have a bug when closing a modal dialog box.

What is the 100% correct way of closing a modal dialog box,
programmatically, from within the dialog code itself?

Until now, I was using:

----------------------
self.handle(self, FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, ID_ACCEPT), nil)
----------------------

... and it works 99% of the time.

After checking the fox C++ code, I found that such a call triggers code
like: 

----------------------
getApp()->stopModal(this,FALSE);
hide();
----------------------

Where hide() does:

----------------------
if(flags&FLAG_SHOWN){
    killFocus();
    flags&=~FLAG_SHOWN;
    if(xid){
#ifndef WIN32
 
XWithdrawWindow(DISPLAY(getApp()),xid,DefaultScreen(DISPLAY(getApp())));
#else
//      if(getOwner() && getOwner()->id()){
//        SetActiveWindow((HWND)getOwner()->getShell()->id());  // Fix
from Sander
//        }
      ShowWindow((HWND)xid,SW_HIDE);
#endif
      }
    }
----------------------


Is there a chance some code might be executing WHILE the dialog is being
closed, what could explain the crashes? 

I have tried replacing:

----------------------
self.handle(self, FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, ID_ACCEPT), nil)
----------------------

... with:

----------------------
close
$app.stopModal
----------------------

The "close" function has got code that might help:

----------------------
// Target will receive no further messages from us
setTarget(NULL);
setSelector(0);
----------------------

We'll see if helps. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the bug. 



Does anyone have the same rare problem maybe?
