Hi,
I have a problem to give back the focus to my main shell after triggering
the creation of a new shell.
The snippet below illustrates the problem: when clicking on F1, a new
shell is opened, but I can't manage to force the focus back onto the main
shell so that F1 creates yet another shell (other than clicking on the
main shell before).
How can I do this ?
Thanks,
Helene

newShell - GOOD!

I have found a similar issue. However, using win.setVisible(true) vs win.open() doesn't change anything. The dialog still has modal control of Eclipse. In my case I am opening a dialog with an embedded browser. I want the dialog to be beside the parent dialog and above it in Z-order. I want to be able to click in it but it must be non-modal. This works just fine on windows but not on linux with firefox embedded in the dialog.
The follwoing bit of code opens the window:
win = new Shell(this.getShell(), SWT.TOOL);
setWindowSize(NOVICE_WINDOW_WIDTH); // simple setBounds() call
win.setLayout(new FillLayout());
noviceArea = new Composite(win, SWT.NULL);
noviceArea.setBackground(win.getDisplay().getSystemColor(SWT .COLOR_INFO_BACKGROUND));
noviceAreaLayout = new StackLayout();
noviceArea.setLayout(noviceAreaLayout);
blankArea = new Composite(noviceArea, SWT.NULL);
blankArea.setBackground(win.getDisplay().getSystemColor(SWT. COLOR_INFO_BACKGROUND));
textArea = new Browser(noviceArea, SWT.NULL);
textArea.setBackground(win.getDisplay().getSystemColor(SWT.C OLOR_INFO_BACKGROUND));
noviceAreaLayout.topControl = blankArea;
setText(defaultText);
open = true;
layout.topControl = leftButton;
leftButton.setEnabled(false);
layout();
win.setVisible(true); // use of .open() causes focus problem?
this.setFocus(); // set focus back on the parent dialog
This bit of code is actually in a wizard dialog page within Eclipse.
