Hey! Thanks! And that was quick! I tried it and it worke great, nice little thing, now i have something to work from! Regarding the accepting-values and :own-window. I didn't get that to work. Do I need to do something special to get a new window? The 0.9.1 spec said something about it beeing unimplemented so I didn't research it too much. Here it says: "There is no gadget-based implementation of accepting-values. own-window is not supported." http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/mcclim-announce/2005-March/000000.html But now that I know it works I will try a bit harder to get it to work! Thanks again!! /Peter On Mon, 2006-02-20 at 18:06 +0100, Paolo Amoroso wrote:

As far as I know, McCLIM does support :own-window t for accepting-values.
What I want to do is:
1 Create a child window 2A Populate with text-fields, checkboxes, and buttons (like gadet-test) 2B Add "Save" button and method that returns/stores the values selected 3 Move focus to child, put original window in background 4 Destroy child window, refocus on original window [...] So if anyone has a nice example* of how to do this that would be a
One way to do that is by creating a full application frame for your dialog box with all the gadgets you need, and call it from your application code. It works nicely, but is rather verbose. Some time ago I posted an example here:
