Hi,
I am learning about this, but have not totally figured it out. When I
make a new assistant window, it appears in the upper left of the screen.
Not at (0,0) but nearby.
assistant = gtk_assistant_new();
gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW(assistant), transient_parent);
gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (assistant), title.c_str());
gtk_window_set_modal (GTK_WINDOW (assistant), TRUE);
//gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW(assistant),
GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT);
// the above line does not center the assistant
gtk_window_set_destroy_with_parent(GTK_WINDOW(assistant), TRUE);
But the following kind of window IS centered:
projectdialog = gtk_dialog_new();
gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW(projectdialog),
transient_parent);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(projectdialog), _("Project properties"));
//gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(projectdialog),
GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT);
// the above doesn't matter...with or without, the dialog is centered
gtk_window_set_modal(GTK_WINDOW(projectdialog), TRUE);
gtk_window_set_type_hint(GTK_WINDOW(projectdialog),
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG);
I don't understand it. Also, something in the gtk source code indicates
that setting the position of a window centered can cause problems or
doesn't work reliably, since it can "fight" with the window manager's
preferred placement.
Anybody who knows what they are doing with this?

how to make dialogs appear on center of screen not on left corner.
tried multiple things no results. For normal windows
gtk_window_set_position works
for dialog it doesn't
below is example routine to ask a yes/no question from my program.
i've tried
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(dialog),GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS);
but it doesn't work
nt pytanie(const char *txt) {
GtkWidget *dialog,*lab;
int odpowiedz;
dialog=gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons(TEXT_QUESTION,NULL,GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
TEXT_TAK,GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT,TEXT_NIE,GTK_RESPONSE_NONE,NULL);
lab=new_label(txt);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (gtk_dialog_get_content_area
(GTK_DIALOG (dialog))), lab);
odpowiedz=gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog));
gtk_widget_destroy(dialog);
return (odpowiedz==GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT);
}
