I'm trying to create a blocking error dialog. On page 116 of Young's book on Motif, in a discussion of dialog widgets, he states, "The application would have to enter a second dispatch loop and return from the loop after the user is finished with the dialog." So what I would like to have is an outline of this second dispatch loop, so I can return a value depending on the choice of buttons. Seems like the topic of an FAQ, but I haven't got a recent copy, and it doesn't appear in the one I have. I question the usefulness of an error dialog with default buttons "OK" and "Cancel", that does not block. Blocking should be the default behavior. Why is this not the case? Thank you, Paul J Turner pturner@ese.ogi.edu
