Subject: Ruby Tk - dialog windows

Hi - I'm trying to make `modal' windows.  I'm confused about how to
use TkDialog, though, is there any good documentation?  I need a
window that will not let someone go to the `parent' window, can
display stuff just like a TkToplevel or TkRoot...

My current solution is to make a TkToplevel with `parent' as the
parent object, and to use
  parent.bind('FocusIn') {
    begin
      myTopLevel.focus
    rescue Exception => e
    end
  }

and then #bind_remove later...

this is inelegant, and I can still click the x-close button on the
parent... I could redo the closing protocol for the parent, but this
seems an inelegant solution, and I'd have to reset it aftewards...

anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Me
