No, it means that only the given widget is shown, the dialog itself is in this case. > Does that mean that I have to show all elements within the dialog apart This is what Show_All does. Hide is to reverse Show. If that does not work, it means you called it too early or on a wrong widget. BTW, another techniques are: 1. Remove/add children to the container as they needed, dynamically. 2. Use Set_Sensitive to gray the widget out, leaving it visible. The second method is preferable when the user must see all possibilities or when the widget layout must be preserved. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
