In main.cpp
for initialize function I wrote following lines to get dialog window before document window
void initialise (const juce::String & commandLine)
{
String user;
welcomeDialog = new WelcomeDialog(user);
welcomeDialog->runModalLoop();
welcomeDialog->setFullScreen(false);
deleteAndZero(welcomeDialog);
if(user.isNotEmpty())
mainWindow = new MainWindow ();
}
I wonder why focus is not gained by my dialogWindow that show’s welcomDialog ?
I also tried welcomeDialog->setAlwaysOnTop(true);
welcomeDialog->setFocusContainer(true);
welcomeDialog->setWantsKeyboardFocus(true);
But that also didn’t bring focus to this dialog ? What might be causing problem gettting focus over this ?
Please suggest what shall be the solution here ?
You shouldn’t really use modal loops at all, but especially not before your app has even finished initialising. Just create your dialog non-modally, and then get it to create your main window when it gets closed.
Hey Jules thanx for your reply, But don’t get you exactly …
creating dialog non-modally means? shall I use DialogWindow::showDialog() ? Or not just call runModelLoop for welcomeDialog ?
Actually I already tried using DialogWindow::showDialog(), but that is behaving something different.
I mean don’t call runModal - use enterModalState instead.
Using modal loops that block the current thread is highly frowned-upon in modern programming (and even illegal on some platforms like android). It’s best to get into the habit of avoiding that style of coding.
