hi
this is niket .
i'm developing an application in a carbon environment.
i'm using Xcode 1.5.
i'm using OS10.3.5
here is the problem.

i use StandardAlert(...) to create an alert.
i also provide AlertParams correctly.
as far as i know every thing is at it's place.
BUT the problem is when an alert window is shown on the screen i can
not close it.
what i have to do to close the same is i have to make any other window
active (by manually clicking on any other application window)
and then come back to alert window and then only i can close the
alert .
otherwise it does not get closed at all.

i'm looking forward to get help from u people.
plz reply asap.

thanks and regards
Niket.

I am somewhat confused, because:

1. Normally, one does not close an alert. To close a window means to use its
close box (which an alert shouldn't have) or the Close menu command (which an
alert should disable). You probably mean to say that you can't dismiss the
alert, which you normally do by clicking the OK or the Cancel button?

2. An alert created with StandardAlert is normally modal, so it should be
impossible for you to activate any other application window while an alert is in
the front. Are you really able to select other windows while the alert is up? If
so, that seems really wrong

Finally, let's see some code; it's hard to debug in the dark.
