SWT.close exits entire app when not at top level [message #127643]

hi-

i am having such a dificult time with my application windows.
can anyone give me a tip on how to make sure that closing a dialog shell
doesnt kick me out of the entire program?
all of the shell disposed listeners fire and i only wanted to close the one
shell.
isnt there a way to identify that specific shell and say close or dispose
without this cascading effect?

thanks very much,
jim

hi-

i think i found my error (almost certain).
i will test it out tomorrow. i need some sleep.

Display display =parent.getDisplay();
// Set up the event loop.
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
// If no more entries in event queue
display.sleep();
}
}

//display.dispose();

when i commented out this display.dispose() it ran fine.
only the main (top level) dialog needs the commented out line
(display.dispose();) i believe.
the other dialog shells can get by without it.
