[wxMSW], [wx3.1.1], How to make a wxPasswordEntryDialog always on top ?

Post by tomay3000 »

Hello,
I wanted to make a wxPasswordEntryDialog always on top, Creating it with a NULL parent and with these two flags

Code: Select all

wxSTAY_ON_TOP | wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT
did not the trick.

I want the user to be presented with an always on top wxPasswordEntryDialog, so the dialog wont hide when he clicks away.

I this possible under Windows ?
How ?

Thank you for your understanding.

Using the application main window as parent and calling ShowModal() to show the dialog should be enough.
Use the source, Luke!

At this stage the application main window has not been created yet. I am doing it in the application's OnInit level.

Here is how I did it, but with no luck :(

Code: Select all

bool MyApp::OnInit()
{
    wxString password;
    wxPasswordEntryDialog passwordEntryDialog(NULL,
            wxT("Entrez le mot de passe:"),
            wxT("Vérification du mot de passe"),
            wxEmptyString,
            wxTextEntryDialogStyle | wxSTAY_ON_TOP | wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT);
    int retCode = wxID_CANCEL;

    SetTopWindow(&passwordEntryDialog);

    for (;;)
    {
        if ((retCode = passwordEntryDialog.ShowModal()) == wxID_OK)
            if ((password = passwordEntryDialog.GetValue()) == wxT("admin"))
                break;
            else
                wxMessageBox(wxT("Votre mot de passe n'est pas valide!"),
                             wxT("Erreur"),
                             wxOK | wxICON_ERROR);
        else if (retCode == wxID_CANCEL)
            return false;
    }

    wxInitAllImageHandlers();

    MyFrame* frame = new MyFrame(NULL);
    frame->SetIcon(wxICON(aaaa)); // To Set App Icon
    frame->Show();
    SetTopWindow(frame);

    return true;
}

Apparenty the "style" parameter passed to passwordEntryDialog is not a standard wxWindow style.

This should work:

Code: Select all

wxPasswordEntryDialog passwordEntryDialog(NULL,
              wxT("Entrez le mot de passe:"),
              wxT("Vérification du mot de passe"),
              wxEmptyString,
              wxTextEntryDialogStyle );

passwordEntryDialog.SetWindowStyleFlag( passwordEntryDialog.GetWindowStyleFlag() | wxSTAY_ON_TOP );
Use the source, Luke!
