Re: Editable Label Widget
Andrew, it's probably worth asking on gtk-devel-list - especially if you're planning on doing this in a reusable way that can be incorporated into a future version of GTK+.

Re: Emulating MDI
Robert Pearce wrote: I have a Windows application I want to port to GTK. In the Windows version it uses the Multiple Document Interface scheme, where several document windows are placed on the main application canvas, and each of these windows is decorated like a top-level window. For this particular application, that layout makes a lot of sense. It's not supported natively in GTK+. Most people think that MDI is one of the worst user interface designs ever, and so its lack of support in GTK+ isn't an issue for most people. That said, if you want to use an MDI-style layout, doing a google search for GTK MDI gives http://gtkadi.sourceforge.net as its first hit.

Large strings in GtkTextView
Hi guys, I just tried to load a ~200 kb string into GtkTextView, and there are bugs in the viewing of the string. The most noticeable is that when you try to scroll, the text disappears and/or overlaps. Is GtkTextView completely unsuitable for viewing large amounts of text? Is there an alternative?

Re: GNOME 2.11/2.12 targeting GTK+ 2.8 (ie cairo based)
On Thu, 2005-06-09 at 12:10 +0100, Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro wrote: It has not been tested it was too soon to test. Why are people so afraid of gtk+ 2.7 without even trying it? It really is quite stable now. I think it's because in these enlightened times, people use the GNOME stack that comes out of jhbuild or Ubuntu Breezy. Both of these distribution methods are semi-official; jhbuild is meant to have The next version of GNOME, Breezy is The next version of Ubuntu, and switching to 2.7 for a trial period *without* having this conversation is ugly and liable to confuse people about what was actually decided. And Cairo does help developers significantly. Anyone doing any kind of drawing and printing will know what I mean. Like, imagine how abiword/gnumeric/criawips would benefit from this. Gnome Print is not an option for most of these programs simply because it's a Gnome library thus not cross platform or needs gnome. There's a great bias against gnome libraries nowadays, unfortunately... And even if it is slower now, it potencially may become much faster than current X11 drawing model, perhaps even when gtk+ 2.8 gets released. Please stop gtk/cairo FUD. Hey hey hey, let's stay calm here. GNOME necessarily works on a short-term-benefit model; the question we need to ask is Is going to GTK+ 2.8 in less than 6 months *definitely* not going to have any negative implications on that version of GNOME? And it's a fair question to ask, because last time we did this the answer was Yes, it did. We're blatantly going to use GTK+ 2.8 by 2.14 at the latest, but GTK+ does work on a cycle with a longer feature-implementing stage, and so necessarily a longer improvements-and-bug-fixing stage. Which is fine. But we need to be careful about it. No-one was implying that Cairo was a Bad Idea (tm), only whether we could be 99% sure of it being as stable as and as fast as the current stable GTK+ in a relatively short timescale. -- Andrew ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

Performance worries are very different from meeting-the-schedule worries. There were a couple of stability issues too (nothing terribly major, but it wasn't quite up to the very high standards that GTK+ releases normally set for themselves). I can't remember specifically what they were, any more.

Adding buttons to the header of a GtkTreeViewColumn
Hi, When you set the widget (in the header) of a GtkTreeViewColumn to contain a GtkButton, it's impossible to click the GtkButton. Because when you do, the entire column header gets the focus and sorts the column instead of clicking the button. Is this a bug, or design?

Inheritence without knowing the parent at compile time
Hi,
After playing about with GObject a bit, I'm trying to work out how to
inherit at runtime.
Normally, type and class structs have the parent type and class structs
at their start, in order to make them the right size and give the
correct offset to the other members of the struct. ie.
struct _MyObject {
ParentObject parent;
gpointer myfield;
... etc ...
};
However, I can't do this because I don't know what the parent is going
to be. So I'm omitting that from my structs and registering my types
with this sort of function:
GType
tirith_obi_python_new_type (const gchar *class, const gchar *super)
{
guint type = 0, parent_type = 0;
GTypeQuery query;
parent_type = g_type_from_name (super);
g_type_query (parent_type, query);
GTypeInfo obi_info =
{
query.class_size + sizeof (TirithObiPythonClass),
(GBaseInitFunc) NULL,
(GBaseFinalizeFunc) NULL,
(GClassInitFunc) tirith_obi_python_class_init,
(GClassFinalizeFunc) NULL,
NULL,
query.instance_size + sizeof (TirithObiPython),
0,
(GInstanceInitFunc) tirith_obi_python_init,
NULL
};
type = g_type_register_static (g_type_from_name (super), class,
obi_info, 0);
return type;
}
note the sizeof() addition so the runtime system gets the correct size.
But now I expect my pointers are pointing to the wrong place when they
are passed to a function.
void
tirith_obi_python_init (TirithObiPython *obi)
In this function, obi will be pointing to the start the gobject which is
not the same point as the beginning of the TirithObiPython struct?
Presumably I have to do something along the lines of:
newobi = obi + sizeof (parent);
to get the correct position? But I don't know what the immediate parent
is. Is there a gobject function where I can find out?
Basically, I'd like to know if I'm on the right lines here, or if I'm
doing it totally wrong.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Andrew

GtkCombo and GtkList
Hi, In gtk-2.0, the GtkCombo widget uses a drop-down GtkList, not a GtkTreeView as I would expect. Which is deprecated. 1) Are there plans to replace this for gtk-2.2? 2) Because I'm loath to duplicate the common list code in my app (one for GtkTreeView's and one for GtkCombo's, displaying the same data), has anyone done some alpha/beta GtkCombo code that replaces the GtkList with a GtkTreeView? 3) If not 2), would there be interest if I made a patch (assuming I have time to do it) Thanks -- Andrew ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
