Closing a Gtk::Window automatically

[rsaikamesh]

Hi,
I am using gtkmm 2.4 to create UI in my c++ application.My operating system is linux(ubuntu).I have barcode scanner which is connected to the serial port(/dev/ttyS0).

What I have to do in my application is, I should display a window at first, which contains a Label "Read the Barcode using the scanner" on it. Then I have to read the barcode using the scanner. After reading it, the window should automatically be closed then a new window have to be opened. I don't know how to close the first window automatically after reading the barcode. please help me!.

Are you using terminal windows to display the messages?

Are you using terminal windows to display the messages?

yes . Im using terminal windows.

yes . Im using terminal windows.

Do you need to close the windows, or can you clear it? (In Linux you can run the "clear" command, I believe that combined with the 'system()' command from C will remove anything showing in that window. Unless you are to explicitly close the window.)
