I want to create a modal window like the preferences window in the Lispworks IDE. The window should be resizable and movable. I do not want to use display-dialog. How can I do this? -- Ryan Hope, M.S. CogWorks Lab Department of Cognitive Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

FWIW, you can use window styles when defining the interface to make it resizable - see the CAPI reference entry for interface. (This is about MS Windows, isn't it?) Cheers, Edi.

No this has nothing to do with WIndows, I am testing on OSX. I know I can use :window-styles (:resizeable) but I can't find window style that brings the window decorations back or anything that allows the dialog to be moved.

Are you trying to avoid display-dialog, or just to display the modal dialog as a window, and not as a sheet attached to some window? If the latter, then the following might work for you: (capi:display-dialog interface :owner (capi:convert-to-screen)) -- Joshua Taylor, http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~tayloj/
