Dear Andreas Pakulat,

          Thanks you verymuch for your reply. Actually i am developing a 
plugin component for firefox using the XPCOM technology. I windows OS , 
i have done using the ActiveX technology. I will tell you what  i have 
done in Windows.

In Windows.
          I have created a activex dll which will be registered in the 
client's computer. Whenever the user go to my web application page, in 
the button click event i will create object for my activex component and 
i will call a function in the dll. I used VS 6.0 for development.  
Inside that function i have created a dialogbox and show  that dialog 
box to the user. It is a modal dialog box. The Internet Explorer will be 
the parent window for my dialog. To get the Internet Explorer window 
handle, i used GetForegroundWindow() function avaible in the Win32 API. 
Once i get the IE' window handle, i will set this handle as my parent 
window of my dialogbox. Now  I need to achive this in Linux.

In Linux :

          XPCOM is the equivalent for the ActiveX. I am able to create a 
.so file using XULRunner SDK and able to call the function via firefox 
browser. I have created a small function which will return  a string to 
the calling function. Every thing is working fine. Now the next step is, 
I need to create a dailogbox inside my function, and need to show my 
dialogbox as a modal window of the firefox browser. To create dialogbox 
i am using the KDevelop IDE. Is there any function like 
GetForegroundWindow like in Win32API for Linux? Hope now you understand 
my problem.


Please help me

Thanks & Regards
Sundaram. D
