miniframe, wxSTAY_ON_TOP and wxFileSelector (wx2.9)

[Riccardo Cohen]

Hi
In my main frame there are some aui panels which can be floating 
(miniframe). In these aui panels there are objects with properties.
We've built a property dialog that shows information, and in that
simple property dialog, the user may launch a file selector to choose a 
file.

- When I don't create the property dialog with wxSTAY_ON_TOP, the file 
selector acts as modal and my dialog is not available to the user, thats 
good. But the property dialog appears under the aui panel if the panel 
is floating (win&mac). Moreover on macosx the main frame may come over 
the property dialog. So I tried to add wxSTAY_ON_TOP flag at creation time.

- When I create the dialog with wxSTAY_ON_TOP, it appears over the aui 
panel, and the main frame cannot cover the dialog on mac, which is good. 
But the file selector is no more modal on mac, and the property dialog 
is available to the user which is not acceptable.

- I thought about creating my property dialog in an aui pane, but it 
makes a lot of change in our code. Do you have any workaround ?

ps : on gtk2 both cases work correctly, the dialog is always above the 
panel and the file selector is always application modal.

Thanks for any info
