Re: Modal dialog not acting modal...

Hi Peter,

Code below works.
I'm afraid I don't know enough about Perl and Wx internals to explain
why your original doesn't work which is probably unsatisfactory - but at
least it means you have some working code! Its all in the way Wx::App is
instantiated, I think.

I also removed the variables declared as 'our' from the Test_ui package
as I'm sure they are not what you want. (but this was not cause of problem)

Regards

Mark
