Hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice here. There's this project that I've been playing with from time to time for a few years now - a mind mapping app written in C#, using Gtk# and Cairo [1]. At this point all the drawing is done in a DrawingArea and I'm quite happy with the result (some screenshots: [2]). There is however one thing that I can't figure out. Editing of the text is done through an external widget outside of the mind map view, because I simply have no idea how do embed or overlay another widget over a DrawingArea. That'a where I need advice. Is DrawingArea a good choice here? Should I consider using another technology altogether (like Clutter or Moonlight?). Let's say that I would like to take what I have [3] and get and editable text entry field on top of it [4]. What do you reckon? Can someone suggest an approach or better yet a similar project that does it already?
