Dear Keith We know that the documentation is not the one we would like. Now I will try to explain inn three sentences how you can find the answer to your question now. - Open the message name tools (in tools) type modal, modal: - Have a look at implementors of openModal: - Have a look at senders of openModal: Morph>>openModal: aSystemWindow "Open the given window locking the receiver until it is dismissed. Answer the system window. Restore the original keyboard focus when closed." here is an example MCMergeResolutionRequest>>viewPatchMerger "Open a modal diff tools browser to perform the merge." |m modalMorph| m := (PSMCMergeMorph forMerger: self merger) fromDescription: 'Working copy' translated; toDescription: messageText. modalMorph := (UIManager default respondsTo: #modalMorph) ifTrue: [UIManager default modalMorph] ifFalse: [World]. modalMorph openModal: ( m newWindow title: messageText). ^m merged So there are ways to find information. Now do not hesitate to ask any question to the list. Stef PS: BTW I did not either how to open a model widget. Now I know :) On Feb 18, 2010, at 11:57 PM, Dr. Keith A. Morneau wrote:

Hello,

I am new to Pharo and I am trying to figure out a way to do modal AlertDialogWindow. The documentation I noticed says - someMorph openModal: aSystemWindow. Well, I can not seem to get the the Alert to be modal to my main window. Is there an easy way to do this?
