Component dialog not on top in dev branch

Asked by Andres

Hi there, please, feel free to move this comment to the right place.
I've updated my kicad code to:
 revision-id: <email address hidden>
 date: 2012-08-24 06:31:09 -0500
 build-date: 2012-08-26 18:09:22 -0300
 revno: 3682
 branch-nick: testing

And when trying to navigate the components' footprints in cvpcb, the component dialog does not stay on top. In Revision 3494, used as a base for cmd line improvements [http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/eda-tools/source/tree/5083973/kicad-patches/README] the dialog stays on top, but the focus goes to the dialog, preventing the user to navigate the footprints with the keyboard.

As a solution, I've added the style flag "wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT" in the constructors for both, the 3D viewer and the Footprint viewer to let the dialog on top, while the focus on the background parent, solving both problems at once.

Hope this information helps someone.

BR,
Andres.

I think the best way to contribute is to join the mailing list and submit your patch for inclusion. This isn't the best place to submit code...

Can you help with this problem?
