I have a (hopefully) basic question. g_type_from_name() does not behave as I would it expect to behave:
When I call it with e.g. "GtkButton", I get GTK_TYPE_BUTTON. But when I call it with "GtkFrame", it returns 0 (no such type found). To add to my confusion, when I call "printf("%s\n", g_type_name(GTK_TYPE_FRAME)" before calling g_type_from_name(), it returns "GtkFrame" (as expected) and the following call to g_type_from_name() succeeds as well. I am obviously missing sth here, or making a stupid mistake, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated. - mb #include <gtk/gtk.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { gtk_init(&argc, &argv); g_type_init(); /* Uncomment the following line, GtkFrame will be found */ /* printf("%s\n", g_type_name(GTK_TYPE_FRAME)); */ if (g_type_from_name("GtkFrame") == 0) printf("no GtkFrame\n"); else printf("GtkFrame exists\n"); if (g_type_from_name("GtkButton") == 0) printf("no GtkButton\n"); else printf("GtkButton exists\n"); 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
