Thank you, it works well ! I had seen openModal: but did not know how to use it.

Sven, thank you too. I had seen the UIManager>>request: but was afraid to have to subclass such a class when in need for a simple special dialog design.

You can do something like this:

dialog := TextEntryDialogWindow new.

World openModal: dialog.

dialog cancelled ifFalse: [self createAndWrite: dialog entryText].

but I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it.

Hi Pharoers,

I'm a beginner with Pharo and try to dive into Morph. My question is trivial as I want to open a modal dialog to catch some text and save it in a file.

I use the following code:
dialog := TextEntryDialogWindow new.
dialog openInWorld.
dialog canceled ifFalse: [self createAndWrite: dialog entryText].

In Cincom Smalltalk, the same code opened a dialog modally , but here, not, as it seems suggested in the DialogWindow class comment. I don't know how to change this, I tried to include it as submorph in another morph, but it failed (still system modal). I also tried to tell currentWorld to set the ModalWindow to Dialog, without success. Any hint?

Thank you

Florent
