Dialogs end up behind wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT frames

Do you have a typical platform dependent issue you're battling with ? Ask it here. Make sure you mention your platform, compiler, and wxWidgets version.

Dialogs end up behind wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT frames

Post by deepti »

Hi All,

When you create a frame in Mac using the wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style any modal dialogs you pop up with the frame as the parent actually show up BEHIND the frame? On windows this work situation works properly.

I am seeing this issue on Mac High Sierra, wxWidgets 3.1.0.

I see there was a ticket created for this (link below), but it is really confusing whether it was fixed or not?

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/4355

If it is indeed fixed, could you please let me know the file that was changed, so that I can pull in just that file instead of getting the entire source..

Why did you find it confusing, the ticket was closed as "fixed" and there is a link to a commit fixing the issue:
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/ ... 219bfb5d28 If you still can reproduce the issue with wxWidgets 3.1.1, you should reopen the ticket.

You can see the changes in the commit, however, I am not sure that merging only those changes and therefore diverging from the official distribution is a good idea. Why would you do do that instead of simply upgrading to 3.1.1, i.e., the last official release of the 3.1 branch (and particularly when you are already on a development branch)?
