+--- Thread: strange effect with WindowDialog (/showthread.php?tid=20333)
- Rockstarr - 2006-06-05
hi.
i was writing on a script as i noticed a strange effect with the windowdialogs.
i will try to explain the best i can.
i have 2 classes.
booth are windowdialogs.
the first class is startet on script start and generates a menu.
when i click on a button the second class loads and load's an other menu.
now when i click the first button in the second menu the first menu dissapeares and the second is still shown.
when i close the second menu the script stopps.
i tried to reproduce it the best i can and wrote a simple script that shows the error.
this one you can find here.
maybe somebody can explain me why this gives such a strange effect.
thanks
edit: i only was able to test it with xbmc release of may 22 t3ch

i will tell you something someone already explained me on this forum...
the windowdialog class is like a 'dialog' and is intended to be shown over all other windows.
so when you open a windowdialog over an other windowdialog, it is not a correct behaviour...
what could be nice, would be to have a new window class available, with transparent background... why not making the window class transparent
it could be very helpfull

humm.
i like it to design scripts completly with dialogs.
starting scripts from submenu and the background is still visible looks much better.
a dialog witch is overlaying another dialog sounds logical to me but probably its not

yes sounds logical to me too
