v17 How to start a busy dialog that always stays on top of subsequent custom dialogs
#1
In my addon, I'm starting a busy dialog with the following code in it's own thread of execution:
python:

dialog = xbmcgui.DialogBusy()
count = 20
while count > 0:
dialog.update(count * 5)
count -= 1
xbmc.sleep(1000)

Once the busy dialog is visible, I start my own xml based custom dialog that has the zorder tag set to zero (0).
Unfortunately my dialog always covers the busy dialog.
Is there any way to make the busy dialog always stay on top so that my custom dialog will appear underneath it?

Solved:
I created my own busy dialog based on the existing system busy dialog.
My addon can now start the busy dialog first and then start the main window underneath the busy dialog.
