Hi,
I would like to have a dialog window pop up at a certain time interval
and time-out and disappear. The only way I can think of doing this is by
hiding a button somewhere and using an event timer to have the button
‘press’ itself setting off the activate callback where a dialog module
is attached. This is not very elegant.
Is there a way to have a dialog window realize itself and then destroy
itself?
Also, I was wondering if there is a way to have a widget cause a
callback for another widget.
Help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You could setup a timer and use the ApCreateModule() to bring up your dialog
as long as you have used PhAB to create your dialog and created your
internal link. You could also use the same timer to unrealize the widget as
well. For this you could use PtUnrealizeWidget() or PtDestroyWidget(). For
more information on this you can take a look at the documentation found at
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/momentics_nc_docs/photon/prog_guide/module

You could attach to the same callback from both widgets if that’s what you
mean.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I implemented the ApCreateModule() approach and the dialog window does
appear. However, none of the widgets inside the window are drawn. The
window has a color fill, but it is transparent. I am able to
successfully destroy the dialog.
Any ideas as to what’s causing this?

Look into ApCreateDBWidgetFamily().
