Hi all. I noticed that there is a conflict in what GtkBin docs say:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkBin.html#GtkBin-struct " The GtkBin-struct struct contains the following fields. (These fields should be considered read-only. They should never be set by an application.) GtkWidget *child; the child widget. " and what the GtkComboBoxEntry docs say: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkComboBoxEntry.html#gtk-combo-box-entry-new-with-model " You can get the GtkEntry from a GtkComboBoxEntry using GTK_ENTRY (GTK_BIN (combo_box_entry)->child). " So either the GtkBin or GtkComboBoxEntry docs needs to be changed in this regard. Considerations: 1) GTK_BIN(widget)->child is officially available as gtk_bin_get_child(), so it's not like it would be required to retrieve the entry from a GtkComboBoxEntry. 2) GTK_BIN(widget)->child is insanely more pleasant to use in code, and a little more object oriented than gtk_bin_get_child() (which is in my books always a good thing :) 3) Use of public widget struct members are used succesfully with GtkDialog (->vbox and ->action_area), so it's not like doing something new. 4) Given the GtkComboBoxEntry docs recommendation and personal observations, GTK_BIN(widget)->child is a common trait so it can't really be considered as a contender for change in any way without breaking a multitude of code. No point in trying to hide it instead of embracing it, right?-) So my score is on the side of admitting GtkBin->child as a public member in the docs, what's yours? -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
