Hello!
I would like to create a custom widget, which wouldl serve as a button and/or
as a container. It has to have a different look than the orginal gtk's button,
so that it could fit best in an application I am currently trying to develop.
Also, the visual aspect of this custom widget should vary, depending on it's
current purpose.
What I have done so far is:
1.) Derived my widget from Gtk::Button.
2.) Overriden the on_expose_event method and used cairo for changing the look
of the widget.
The thing is, that after connecting the custom widget's (button's)
signal_clicked and an appropriate signal handler, the widget performes the
desired operation, but...:
a) Because of overriding the on_expose_event method I somehow "loose" the nice
button effect of being pressed down - the button doesn't darken it's colour or
moves it's content downwards a bit.
b) Also, I have problems with displaying the custom widget's content
(gtk::label) after drawing with cairo in on_expose_event.
Furthermore, I would like to know very much where I could find gtk::Buttons
source code that is responsible for drawing, so I could immitate it's
predefined visual style. As far as I know, most of the drawing in gtk is
nowadays done with the Cairo, that can use GDK's drawables.
Any advice regarding the mentioned issues would be much appreciated!
Regards,
Uros
