 Good point David, I didn't think of that.

GtkEntry has a gtk-entry-select-on-focus property to deal with this.
Probably GtkLabel should have a similar property - it might be worth
submitting a bug/feature report.

Actually, on looking it up, I see that there is this property
available, via the GtkSettings object - see gtk-label-select-on-focus
at http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkSettings.html .

The following should do the trick, if the behaviour is wanted on an
application wide basis:

GtkSettings* settings = gtk_settings_get_default();
if (settings) {
  g_object_set(settings,
   gtk-label-select-on-focus, FALSE,
   NULL);
}

Re: Question on gtk_label_set_selectable

2007-10-19 Thread Gian Mario Tagliaretti 
2007/10/19, David Nečas (Yeti) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Your label the first widget in the window that accepts focus
 (selectable labels can receive focus, unlike normal labels).
 Therefore the label will get focus, which selects its text
 -- at least this seems to be the default behaviour.

 If you add the label after it's decided which widget should
 receive focus, the label does not get focus and therefore
 its text is not selected.

You can also set the can-focus property to FALSE on the label which
will be still selectable.

 Hi all,

 I have labels, which I wish to allow the user to select the text for the

 of cut/pasting. So I set

 gtk_label_set_selectable (GTK_LABEL (dlabel), 1)

 on the label.

 The problem I have now is that when the label is created, not only is the 
 text
 selectable, but it is also SELECTED as an initial state. I would prefer for 
 the
 text to be selectable, BUT NOT selected (at least as a default state).

 How might I turn off selected ?

 any tips ?
 After some exploring, and looking at the gtk samples, I have an answer.
 I'm not happy with it. It seems (to me) like there is a bug, so let me
 explain what works, and what doesn't work.

 If I have a window (dwindow), and then create a label as follows:

 dlabel=gtk_label_new();
 gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(dlabel), my text);
 gtk_label_set_line_wrap(GTK_LABEL(dlabel),1);
 gtk_label_set_selectable (GTK_LABEL (dlabel), 1);

 Then attach my label to the window and then:

 gtk_widget_show_all(dwindow);

 My label will show up, as selectable, BUT the label text will be
 initially selected.

 If I change the above sequence to this:

 dlabel=gtk_label_new();
 gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(dlabel), my text);
 gtk_label_set_line_wrap(GTK_LABEL(dlabel),1);

 Then attach my label to the window and then:

 gtk_widget_show_all(dwindow);
 gtk_label_set_selectable (GTK_LABEL (dlabel), 1);

 i.e. setting the selectable attribute AFTER the label is realized,
 created, etc. *then* the label text will NOT be selected (but it is
 still selectable).

 I do not understand why in one case the initial state of the text is
 selected and in the 2nd case it is NOT selected.

 Is this a bug? Or is there a reason this is like this?

 thoughts ?

interesting thought.

The label is in a dialog box with one or 2 buttons. I guess I need to
put the focus onto the default button.

I'll give that a try, and see what happens.

Thanks,
