Workflow on the TUI design?

[GronbergInfo]

Hi, i just noticed theat, i have this frame that starts visible=false (runtime) but in design time its always visible, is there a better way to design my TUI where these frames can lay above the "main view"?

I think the easiest way to do this would be to use New... to create a new view e.g. called SettingsView and choose Window as the base class.

You could then launch this second view from your first with Application.Run<SettingsView>(); e.g.

namespace YourNamespace {
    using System;
    using Terminal.Gui;
    
    public partial class MyView {
        
        public MyView() {
            InitializeComponent();

            editMeMenuItem.Action = ShowSettings;
        }

        private void ShowSettings()
        {
            Application.Run<SettingsView>();
        }
    }
}

You can quit the popup and return to the main app with Ctrl+Q

Also I think you want to make sure you have your Window be

Modal = true;
