I would believe that you handle this issue as in any C program. GTK is not relevant (except that you probably don't want to issue SQL queries from several threads). So, first learn to embed SQL inside a plain (command line) simple program. There might be perhaps libraries related to GTK to help about that. I don't know them.

putting combobox in toolbar
Hi. I'm trying to add a combobox to my toolbar. I get as far as embedding it into a GtkToolButton with gtk_tool_button_set_label_widget but it seems the button itself is intercepting the mouse clicks and I can't come up with what I need to do to get the clicks through to the combobox so it will open up and show me my options. I've tried playing with the clicked signal, but there's something I'm missing. I can't find any references to using this function on google or in the list search box. Please. Help. thanks walter ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

buttons in GtkMenus, and GtkUIManager
So I have a bit of a weird request. I'm creating a menu based on several merged UI descriptions at runtime, using GtkUIManager. This part works great. The problem is that our user experience guys want a sort of toggle-button-like radio selector at the top of the menu (this will be for a touchscreen device). So the first menu item will actually be three buttons arranged horizontally. I created a simple GtkMenuItem subclass that adds a GtkHBox to itself with 3 GtkToggleButtons, plus some logic to make sure only one is selected at a time. I build the GtkMenu with GtkUIManager, and add my custom menu item to the top. First problem: I don't want the big prelight when the mouse moves over it. Fine, I just override GtkWidget::expose_event and GtkItem::select in my menu item subclass. But now the three buttons don't work. I don't get a prelight (somewhat important because our device will have a stylus that supports proximity), and clicking on them does nothing. I suspect it has to do with how GtkMenu does its grabs. However, if I connect to motion-notify on my GtkMenuItem subclass, I do get motion events -- actually I seem to get *two* motion events for each mouse move over any of the buttons -- one with coords relative to the button, the other with coords relative to the menu item -- the odd thing is that both of these events are delivered to the menu item (or maybe that's not odd, given the grab?). Anyway, I'm a bit stumped at this point. Any pointers would be appreciated. I'd rather not have to write my own GtkMenuShell subclass, but if people here think that's the best (or least-worst) way to go, I'll do it.

A problem with a treeview header's columns
Hello, I've posted the bug 610277 on https://bugzilla.gnome.org but I'm not sure I will have a quick response and a solution... maybe someone will help me on this mailing list. As i posted, i'm working with directfb 1.4.3 and gtk 2.16.6 I've include a GtkTreeView into a GtkScrolledWindow into a GtkHBox The Hbox contain 3 elements and the scrolled window is include in the middle one. Two columns compose the treeview's model. When the first is too large to show the complete data the horizontal scrollbar appears in the bottom of the window. = all is working well for the data in the rows but the first row (the header one) is not painted correctly. The button corresponding to the column header is painted out of the scrolled window upper the third hbox element. Moreover, when I'm scrolling horizontally the labels in the header's columns move but not the buttons in the background. It is like the background buttons are not resized to fit to the scrolledwindow and take all the place. I was working with gtk 2.12 before and I didn't meet this problem. I can't work with gtk 2.18 because I can't start my application because of a bug on directfb not resolved yet ! I think this bug is resolved with the version 2.18 because I've tryed my application on ubuntu with gtk2.18 and I didn't meet it. I've tryed to look at the code in gtk 2.18 to correct my bug but gdk has so many changes and i don't know exactly what is the problem.

All widget are too fat - theming not working properly
Hi guys, imho, all gtk widgets are much to fat/big, especially comboboxes, buttons and tabs. So ok, it's possible to decrease x-/ythickness, some paddings and stuff like this. After much hours of tweaking and tuning I managed to create a minimal theme. Though some buttons (those without icons) have the desired height, buttons that normally have icons, like in dialogs, are much higher. Though these icons are not visible/hidden the buttons' heights seem to not decrease anymore. There are also some quirks with comboboxes. Those that are not editable are higher as the others. Look at the screenshot to see what I mean: 1) and 2) are both chomboboxes, but 2) is one pixel higher (Yes, I know, it's just a pixel and 99,9% of all users won't ever notice is -- But I do. And everytime I look at the screen I hate it. 3) and 4) are both buttons. 4) seems to adopt my gtkrc settings, 3) doesn't. 3) should normally have an icon. But I disabled all kind of icons in menus and on buttons. Somehow they seem to still be there and prevent the button from becoming less high. Is there some way to solve these bugs? Is there a chance that GTK+ 3.0 doesn't have such fat widgets per default? Hope, I didn't confuse you too much ;-) br, ash attachment: widget_mess.png___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
GTK+ 2.19.6 released
GTK+ 2.19.6 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.19/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.19/ md5 sums: 524021c965a0e1a4ebadd58c576926a5 gtk+-2.19.6.tar.bz2 1311c99903e4dd28bf42a352b05788db gtk+-2.19.6.tar.gz sha1 sums: 0a4267fe2f3022f39fdf1a2a3817e520c0ff gtk+-2.19.6.tar.bz2 0e1d0329f2aad4d7aa9fd127c9b393db79dc6746 gtk+-2.19.6.tar.gz This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.20. Notes: * This is an unstable development release. It has had only little testing and there are unfinished features and plenty of bugs in this release. It should definitively not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+ 2.18. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.18. * GTK+ 2.20 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.18 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.20 release. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. What is GTK+ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties. Where to get more information about GTK+ Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be found at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for GTK+ 2.x is found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-question-index.html http://www.gtk.org/faq/ Contributing GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions.

Re: Remarks on gtk docs
That is a sure way to loose the battle against QT. People who like Qt (not QT) use it if they have a choice, people who like GTK+ use it if they have a choice. Where is the battle? --tml ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
Re: Remarks on gtk docs
Hello Thor, after this mishap probably caused by Pegasus (or a misconfiguration by me - but so far i never heard from problems other addressees had) i'll use my ISP's webmailer for this mailbox for a while. Battle was an adoption from wikipedia's browser war - a bit superficial of course. But there is chitchat about an uprising economy of attention - in such an economy the concurrency of Gnome versus KDE is a bit more severe than any academic pastime. Of course we already have advertisement as the main income of google for instance - but many protagonists of the advertising business are having doubts about the effectiveness of advertisement at all. And the first task in establishing such an economy were to sanction advertising lies severely. And their grips below the belt. As spam is dealt with already today (and this is a feature of such an economy). I guess moreover, that the common open source programmer is convinced of his work's quality. At least i am for my little Python tool thrases. And that she wants to be read like any author of poetry - of course read means used here. By the way: Thanks for your work with the Windows update. I didn't have those great problems John Stowers reported. But a bad bug: When leaving an entry's window from a drag for selection, the cursor remains the text insertion cursor and doesn't work no more - only an arbitrary extra click reestablishes the normal functions of the pointer. A bug 2.16.6 didn't have. Yes - there are maintainance problems with gtk+ - serious maintainance problems. Providing connect() in depikt i studied the standard method of gtk+ of course - learning, that the use of closures and marshallers is only providing hooks in comparision with g_signal_connect() and GCallback. And signatures we currently do not need. Hooks - that means side-effects. Why not have the actions of these hooks in the using code around my_object.connect() ? And - if needed multiply - write a function around g_signal_connect() ? That is always better readable, 100%. I won't probably support that with depikt, only if the simpler GCallback will be dismissed also. As the well-done simplicity of the old Tooltips, which are deprecated now (which didn't show correct colours though, as GtkTreeView::base[NORMAL] didn't too). And apparently we only got bars as containers for widgets with tooltips instead (i might have missed something here - i will still use the deprecated methods). Thanks for reading, Joost ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
