I've not seen a clear answer to this obvious question. Maybe I'm not searching for the right terms.
What I want to do is create a dialog if an error occurs, and I want it to appear atop the window that currently has focus. This seems like a standard thing to do, so it's weird I can't find a clear explanation. What I have found suggests something like: GtkWidget *widget, *focussed_window; GList *list = NULL; // NULL means empty list list = gtk_window_list_toplevels (); g_list_foreach (list, (GFunc) g_object_ref, NULL); while ((widget = g_list_next (list)) != NULL) { // line 577 if (gtk_window_has_toplevel_focus ((GtkWindow *) window)) { focussed_window = widget; // We found the window that currently has focus. } g_list_free (list); Is this the correct approach? If so, can someone show me how that would be coded in C? This does not compile. I get: func.c:577: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type Dave _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
