Summary: MDI serious problem on wxMac

Initial Comment:
(tested on wxMac 2.8.3 )
You can see this problem running the MDI sample of wxwidgets on mac.

Try to open two new windows. The selecting dialog (text/drawings) is BEHIND the mdi child windows.

If you have a full screen MDI child window, it's impossible to click on many dialogs (e.g. wxFileSelector ) and it's impossible to close the program (forced task termination is needed )

I think should be good to see this bug fix in a future release.

Bye,

Enrico

I've tested things with docvwmdi sample (the mdi sample itself does not
have a dialog when selecting 'New' so I assume it is this sample that you
are using), using xcode as well as via a command line build the
WX_2_8_BRANCH does not show any of these problems when running under
10.4.10. So are you using some special configure switches ? does the 2.8.4
release or the WX_2_8_BRANCH pose the same problem ? under which OS version
are you running it ?

Thanks,

Stefan

I think it can be the same problem that I have described in
[ 1600226 ] wxAUI Floating pane vs. wxDialog on Mac

My dirty solution is to change the Windowclass of floating panes before
and after modal dialogs (necessary only on MAC!).
Simplified:

WindowRef	winRef;
winRef = (WindowRef)GetFrontWindowOfClass(kFloatingWindowClass, false);
SetWindowClass(winRef, kDocumentWindowClass);

// Open your modal dialog

SetWindowClass(winRef, kFloatingWindowClass);

Regards
Josef
