Gtkmm Printing in Ubuntu 7.10
Hi, As covered in some earlier posts, Murry helped point me to the bug report on Ubuntu 7.10 that showed that gtk+ printing just didn't work there. I've upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 (beta), and Printing now works great for me (yay!). BUT I'd like to distribute this app to users who are still on Ubuntu 7.10. Is there a recommended way to solve this? (Other than, of course, having the Ubuntu folks upgrade gtk+ so that it's just fixed). BTW Using the Gtkmm::PrintOperation was an absolute pleasure once I upgraded to 8.04. It's a nicely designed bunch of code *grin* . ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
Gtk::ProgressBar doesn't work synchronously
Hi All, I'm converting a large Windows/Mac project to run on Ubuntu, and I'm a little stuck when trying to use a ProgressBar. We have a cross-platform class that assumes I can create a "Progress Monitor" dialog during time-intensive tasks, and then periodically update the progress as the task completes. The problem that I'm having with using Gtk::ProgressBar seems to be a fundemental one about when dialogs can actually appear in the main window. For example, what I'd like to do is something along the lines of: [in my main thread] ... Start a complex task Create a Progress Monitor dialog and show it Update the dialog as the task progresses Destroy the dialog When I try this, nothing shows up *grin*. As far as I can tell, I need to let the run loop process so that the dialog can be shown. (i.e. if I omit the "destroy" step in the above, I see the dialog as soon as I drop out of "my" code in the main thread, but that's too late -- the task is already completed) One way to solve this is, of course, to rewrite all the places that use the Progress Monitor so that the work is done in a thread and the main thread can just be showing the progress bar. I'd hesitate to try that with this code base because of the number of places in cross-platform code that would have to be rewritten. Do any of you have any thoughts?

> Start a complex task > Create a Progress Monitor dialog and show it > Update the dialog as the task progresses > Destroy the dialog > > Every time you update the dialog (or also more often if you can) you should do something like: while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration(); To let GTK update the interface. GTK runs only when you give the control to gtk_main() or if you give him some "space" with gtk_main_iteration() :) -- Bye, Gabry ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
How to add an alpha channel to Gdk::Drawable?
Hello, I want to draw something (not with cairo, just gdk) then make a shape combine mask from it. But As I tried, there seems no alpha channel by default. Could someone help me? Thanks. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Specifically, there is a problem with the printing API when used from gtkmm (not with GTK+ printing in general) and Ubuntu need to take the upstream fix. > I've > upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 (beta), and Printing now works great for me (yay!). > BUT I'd like to distribute this app to users who are still on Ubuntu 7.10. > Is there a recommended way to solve this?

It's a nicely designed bunch of code *grin* . You can always use the C API together with gtkmm, by using the gobj() and Glib::wrap() functions. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
