I am trying to draw on a gtk textview's gdk window. I have set the textview as app paintable before initialization and done the drawing in a callback for the expose event of the textview as suggested here<http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2007-June/msg00060.html>( http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2007-June/msg00060.html) but have not had any luck. Has this functionality been depreciated? Do I need to use composited windows somehow? The previously linked discution suggests that the OP got it working without them but he did not say how.
I would appricate any advice or information you could give me. Thank you, -Soren Berg Here is what I have so far but either it is not drawing or GTK is blindly painting over my work: CODE: __________________________ #include <gtk/gtk.h> gboolean text_exposed (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventExpose *event, GtkTextView *text) { GdkColor color1, color2; GdkWindow *win; GdkGC *gc; win = gtk_text_view_get_window(text, GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_WIDGET); gc = gdk_gc_new(win); gdk_color_parse("red", &color1); gdk_gc_set_foreground(gc, &color1); gdk_color_parse("black", &color2); gdk_gc_set_background(gc, &color2); gdk_gc_set_fill(gc, GDK_SOLID); gdk_draw_rectangle(win, gc, TRUE, 1, 1, 50, 50); return FALSE; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { GtkWidget *window; GtkWidget *text; gtk_init(&argc, &argv); window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); text = gtk_text_view_new(); gtk_widget_set_app_paintable (GTK_WIDGET (text), TRUE); gtk_widget_set_app_paintable (GTK_WIDGET (window), FALSE); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), text); gtk_widget_show_all(window); g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT(text), "expose-event", G_CALLBACK(text_exposed), text); gtk_widget_set_size_request(window, 500, 400); gtk_main(); return 0; } ________________________ _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
