getting the allocated size of a widget

I'm writing an image viewer application and I want to be able to scale the image being shown to fit the window, whatever size that may be. There's other stuff in the window too so getting just the window size isn't an option. What's the easiest/correct way to get the current width and height of

signals stop working

I have an application with several GtkEntry's and a GtkTextView. I wanted to put the cut, copy and paste commands in my edit menu with the GTK_STOCK images and accelerators just for cosmetic value (GtkTextView and GtkTextEntry support the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V shortcuts natively). To do this

clipboards under win32

I'm having a little difficulty understanding the concepts behind clipboards in GTK. I want to use these functions in a text editing app: gtk_text_buffer_paste_clipboard() gtk_text_buffer_copy_clipboard() gtk_text_buffer_cut_clipboard() but they all require a GtkClipboard object as an argument.

GtkTextTag usage

I'm trying to implement syntax highlighting in my text widget. Here is my code: static void create_tags(GtkTextBuffer *buffer) { gtk_text_buffer_create_tag(buffer, "doctype", "background", "grey", "editable", FALSE, NULL); } static void text_changed(GtkTextBuffer *buffe

activeX embedding

Does anyone know if it is possible to embed an activeX control in a GTK+ app? In particular the mozilla control or if I get desperate enough the IE one? For win32 so gtkmozembed is out although I'll probably use that when I port to linux. Thanks guys.

g_date_set_time error on folder selection

On Windows XP. I've got a GtkFileChooser widget set up with the GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER action. Whenever I go to the My Pictures directory with the file chooser widget, I get a whole bunch of identical errors that all say: Glib-CRITICAL **: g_date_set_time: assertion 'ptm != NULL' fa

weirdest problem yet

Twofold problems (might be related, not sure). First, I'm using Inkscape the other day on win32 and try to import a jpg from the My Pictures folder. Program tries to view the my pictures directory, shows an error message and crashes. I can view the My Pictures folder fine from other GTK+ progra

long line in GtkTextBuffer

I'm writing an application which largely consists of a text editor based around the Gtk multiline text widgets. My problem is that when I use gtk_text_buffer_set_text() to set the text in the widget, I have display issues with large lines. I would probably never have realised except that I trie

UI manager problem, more concise

Umm, lets see. I have a whole bunch of UImanager code, but none of it causes an error until I get to this: if (!gtk_ui_manager_add_ui_from_string (ui, ui_info, -1, &error)) { g_message ("building menus failed: %s", error->message); g_error_free (error); } The weird thing is that although I get a

UIManager errors

I'm trying to create a simple menu for my app with the new UIManager functions under GTK+ 2.6. I've copied most of my code for it from the the gtk-demo.exe app and I still can't get it to work. Compiles fine, but I get a long list of errors, all of which are like these (same error for similar c

Image display without window

I've seen applications (eg. mozilla and blender) display an image at startup without any (visible) container such as a window or dialog. I would like to add this touch of class to my app, anyone know the easiest way? I tried just adding a GtkImage to a GtkWindow, removing window decorations wit

Removing themes under win32

Current Working Directory

Writing a GTK app under win32. When I use "Open With" to open a file with my app, the current working directory is the one the file is in rather than the one my app is in. How can I set the cwd to the path my app is in? Cheers ___ gtk-app-devel-list m

Easiest way to get browser functionality embedded on win32?

I'm writing my first mildly useful GTK+ app so still learning and I'd like to embed a web browser in it. I don't need to handle any input or output except getting it to load a HTML/Javascript file and render it properly. What's the easiest way to do this in GTK+ for win32? Currently I'm lookin
