I am not quite sure what you expect here, but it seems like you want to popup
a dialog and wait for the user to somehow close it before continuing...

Note that GtkAda 1.2.8 includes a package called GtkAda.Dialogs which might be
exactly what you want, or at least which can be easily extended to support
your specific dialog.
Have a look at the implementation there.
