Oh! Actually, it was because the window was being run as modal. Make sure the window is not being run in a modal loop and it should work. - Greg On Jul 4, 2008, at 5:19 PM, Greg wrote: Sorry, suddenly it works, I think that during my attempts at "fixing" it I had some code running that would cause the setLevel code to be ineffective.
