hi rooters!

i am using root gui to display events in PHENIX TEC. I am fatching a
problem regarding files to keep in memory. I have three layers in the gui.
I open a file in the top level. then i click on the second layer enable
button. it works fine until i close the second layer. then if i want to
run another disply in the second layer, i need to open the file again in
the top layer. but it is troublesome and not a very good option. I was
wondering if i am missing something. let me give the part of the macro:

********************************************
file open in the top layer:

case M_EVENT_FILE_OPEN:
{
  gSystem->WorkingDirectory();
  gSystem->ChangeDirectory("/export/bigdisk/dcm_data/rc");
  new TGFileDialog(fClient->GetRoot(), this, kFDOpen,fEventFileInfo);
  gSystem->WorkingDirectory();
  gSystem->ChangeDirectory("/home/phnxtec/munir/gui/work");
  if(fEventFileInfo->fFilename&&strlen(fEventFileInfo->fFilename)>2) {
    displayMessage(MFMessage,fMessageFrame,"Event File :",fEventFileInfo->fFilename);
    if(fEventFileInfo->fFilename) {
      if(EventIt) delete EventIt;
      Int_t Status;
      EventIt=new fileEventiterator(fEventFileInfo->fFilename,Status);
      if(Status){
	displayMessage(MFMessage,fMessageFrame,"Event File:",fEventFileInfo->fFilename,"does not exist");    
	delete EventIt;
	EventIt = NULL;
	EventsReadFromFile = 0;
	break;
      } 
    }
  } else {
    displayMessage(MFMessage,fMessageFrame,"EventFile not yet opened ");
    return kFALSE;
  }
} 
break;	
*********************************************


in the second layer (which is called TecGlobal.cxx)
------------------------------
void TecGlobal::CloseWindow()
{
  TecDialog->setGlobalClosed(GlobalID); // default is NULL 
  TecDialog ->removeFromGlobalBooked(this);
  delete this;
}
-----------------------------
case M_GLOBAL_CLOSE:
printf("\nTerminating dialog: %s pressed\n",
       (parm1 == 1) ? "OK" : "Cancel");
CloseWindow();
break;
default:
break;
----------------------------


your response will be truely appreciated.
