Actually, I think someone has altready done this with FLTK or someting. ONe of the PDAs I used to have was entirely linux based and used GTK for the UI which was a special version which I *think* was called FLTK or something like that. The PDA used an embedded chip (though not intel based). Let's see, here is what I was thinking of, though according to the page it's C++ based. http://www.fltk.org/ It's worth a look. Failing that, I'd be happy to help you out on a contractual basis. Note that GTK+ is a little large for embedded systems.

can't print string pointer, get error?
I have the following defined in my program:
gchar *id;
I perform the following operation which fills id with appropriate
values:
gtk_tree_model_get(theModel, &custListIter, CUST_ID, &id, -1);
Then, I print out the value of id for debugging purposes:
g_printf("row number %s was retrieved\n", id);
but, upon compile, I receive the following error:
callbacks.c:509: warning: char format, different type arg(arg 2)
Say what? Why am I getting this error? It doesn't make sense. You print
out string pointers using printf("%s", var) which works fine numer
normal C conditions. So why do I get this warning, and how do I fix it?
Thanks.

Traditional C rejects ISO C
I'm getting alot of these in my code recently. Most likely due to the update to gcc on my systems. I have two problems: 1) I get these errors in gutils.h which I didn't write. (using glib2-2.4.0-1 in Fedora Core 2. I haven't tried with a newer version of glib yet on my Debian box. 2) I get these errors in callbacks.c for routines like: void on_button_3_clicked(GtkButton *button, gpointer user_data) which I didn't write, but glade generated it for me. So my question really comes down to, how do I solve these problems? I don't really understand the difference between "traditional C" and "ISO C" so how do I fix it in code I *do* write? I'm writing C code the way I've always done. Thanks for any pointers you can give. -- .''`. Carl B.

more on g_strconcat problem
Ok, I've definately nailed the problem down to an issue with the check
button in my data entry box. But it still doesn't make sense. consider
the following code:
idRequired = gtk_toggle_button_get_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(lookup_widget(customers,
"cust_id_req")));
g_print("ID Required status: %d\n", idRequired);
toggleTest = (gint)idRequired;
g_print("ID Required status: %d\n", toggleTest);
the above code prints 0 if the checkbox is unchecked and 1 if it is
checked.
With that in mind, consider the following additional code:
sql = g_strconcat("insert into customers (id_req) values('", toggleTest, "')",0L);
g_print("First sql: %s\n",sql);
This code prints the following when the checkbox is unchecked:
insert into customers (id_req) values('
so it doesn't even complete the string. That same code crashes with a
segfault 11 if I check the checkbox in the dialog.
This makes absolutely NO sense what so ever!
Please help, this is driving me NUTSO!

dynmically growing GtkTreeView from MySQL DB?

data between windows?
I'm writing an application that uses a lot of data entry features with a MySQL (currently) back end. One of my data entry screens also includes a find button. Clicking the find button brings up another small window to type a portion of the client phone number. This in turn will bring up a dialog with a list of matching results (not yet implemented).

No it's not. that url doesn't resolve (at least as far as the #id tag

In both of these instances I get the following error:
Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid text buffer iterator: either the iter
ator is uninitialized, or the characters/pixbufs/widgets in the buffer have been
modified since the iterator was created.
You must use marks, character numbers, or line numbers to preserve a position ac
ross buffer modifications.
You can apply tags and insert marks without invalidating your iterators,
but any mutation that affects 'indexable' buffer contents (contents that can be
referred to by character offset)
will invalidate all outstanding iterators

Getting text out of a GtkTextView
I have a GtkTextView in one of my application windows; mainly because a
GtkEntry is only single width and I want text wrapping and so forth.
Anyway, I'm trying to get the text from the GtkTextView but only end up
with 'null' when I try to print it. Here is a code snipped:
void insertCustomer( GtkWidget *customers )
{
GtkTextBuffer *specialBuffer;
GtkTextView *specialView;
GtkTextIter *start;
GtkTextIter *end;
gchar* *specialText;
specialView = lookup_widget(customers, "cust_instructions");
specialBuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(specialView);
gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds(specialBuffer, start, end);
specialText = gtk_text_buffer_get_text(specialBuffer, start, end, FALSE);
g_print("Special Text: %s \n",specialText);
}
I actually want to be able to insert that text into a database field but
it's not working.
Any help is appreciated.

More on key accelerators
Ok, I just made a couple more changes in my Glade file. It seems there may have been "two" accelerators defined. In my .glade file I had some of the labels of the checkbuttons and other buttons prefixed with an underscore (_) character so that the following letter would have an underscore in it. GTK must treat this as automatically defining alt-key as an accelerator and I don't need to define one myself for it to work. I eliminated the "extra" accelerator and all is well. No more warnings. I am a bit confused as to why this is, so any insight is helpful. But the long and short of it is I did indeed get it to work the way I want. Thanks. -- .''`. Carl B.

So I know that's not it. Now the bit about being activatable is interesting. What do you mean by activatable in this context? Why wouldn't the signal be activatable?

So now I'm really confused). > - it has the activatable signal but it has arguments I'm not sure I understand this statement. Why would a signal not have arguments? The handler has two arguments to it for example. Would this mean I need a second handler just to handle this accelerator?

Assert messages.
I'm getting a couple of assert messages in my app kind of all-of-a-sudden as of late. I'm curious what they really mean and how can I track them down.

I've set up signals for these two buttons (using glade) so there is a signal handler specified. I only have code written for one of them at present (testing). The first assert I get from time to time on a couple different windows. They don't seem to be consistant.

properties for GtkCellRenderText -- Whoohoo it works!
This message ties into an earlier message where I stated I would try out
some code to see if I could change the attributes of text in my
GtkListStore. It works quite nicely. Here's what happens:
1) user selects an item in my GtkTreeView (note: in this case just a
single column view).
2) User clicks a button and the text at that selection turns red!
Here's what I did:
1) I have an enumerated type for the storage model
enum
{
DATA_COLUMN,
MODEL_ATTRIBUTES,
N_COLUMNS
}
2) Created a callback for the the button press:
void on_button_clicked (GtkButton *button, gpointer *userData)
{
do_color_test(gtk_widget_get_toplevel(button));
}
3) now, in the do_color_test routine, I need to do several things:
- get the view
- get the model
- get the current selection
- return the proper iter for the selection
- set the attribute to "red" for the current selection
void do_color_test (GtkWidget *theWindow)
{
GtkWidget *theView = NULL;
GtkListStore *theListStore = NULL;
GtkTreeIter theIter;
GtkTreeModel *theModel = NULL;
GtkTreeSelection *currentSelection;
theView = lookup_widget(theWindow, "atreeview");
theModel = gtk_tree_view_get_model(theView);
if (GTK_IS_LIST_STORE (theModel))
{
theListStore = GTK_LIST_STORE (theModel);

I'm a bit confused as you create the column with gtk_tree_view_column_new (or gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes) and then call gtk_tree_view_append_column to append it to the tree view, at least for the view. However, I gather I would call gtk_list_store_new with the extra column (or columns) so I have a place in the store to save my data, but the view doesn't show it.

CellRenderText properties question.
The Gnome 2.0 porting docs contain the following information on the GtkCellRender widget (under new widgets in the docs): * Cell renderer properties can be set per-renderer or per-cell (based on data in the model). So for example, the text renderer has a "foreground" property for the foreground color. You could set the foreground color globally for an entire column, or you could have the foreground property change per-cell according to data in the model. * For a given cell renderer, multiple fields in the model can affect it. For example, if your mail client model has a boolean field indicating "unread message," and a string field indicating "subject," you can set the "bold" property of the cell from the unread flag and the "text" property of the cell from the subject. Looking at the API docs for GtkCellRender and GtkCellRenderText, I see the following description under gtk_cell_renderer_text_new (): ...Also, with GtkTreeViewColumn, you can bind a property to a value in a GtkTreeModel. For example, you can bind the "text" property on the cell renderer to a string value in the model, thus rendering a different string in each row of the GtkTreeView. However, I can't really find any code examples of how to do anything suggested in these docs. For example, I have a GtkTextView that only has a single column in it. When I click a button in my window, I want to find out the current selection in that TreeView and set it's text to Red or Bold or something. I can't seem to find anything that shows how to get the exact cell and then change its attributes. I can do it globably for a column (and have for testing) but not on a single cell. These docs seem to imply that I need some further data in my cell model to apply an attribute to. So, it seems like I have to have an extra invisible column in my model that holds text attributes, update the column text with a new string (say to "red" from "black" in order for the text in the visible column to have the attribute change. This seems very confusing to me. The docs say "based on data in the model" but it's not clear what that means, if it's actual attributes stored in the model, or just change based on a programmatic condition (col 1 is true so set text to bold). How can I change attributes on a single cell without having extra data in my model or do I really need the extra data in my model? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but the docs are confusing. Also, storing extra attribute data in my ListStore adds memory overhead. Additionally, I see this description for gtk_tree_view_column_cell_set_cell_data: Sets the cell renderer based on the tree_model and iter. That is, for every attribute mapping in tree_column, it will get a value from the set column on the iter, and use that value to set the attribute on the cell renderer. I'm sorry but that's not very clear, and in fact it's extremely confusing. Maybe RedHat could hire me as a technical writer (I have several years experience at this and worked for Metrowerks as a professional technical writer). Any help is greatly appreciated. -- .''`.

Help with focus/activation problems
I posted a message a couple days ago, but no answer so I'm going to post again with some additional info that may help. I have a window in which are several widgets, such as GtkEntry and GtkTextView, and GtkTreeView (list store). When I run my program, it seems that while I can click around and type text in the text entries and text views, or select items in the TreeView, the widgets never seem to become "active", ie: the cursor does not blink in the text entries and selecting a row in the TreeView is the inactive color. If I right-click in the text view, or select an item from my GtkOptionMenu (of which no code exists for that callback, it's just empty right now) suddenly the widgets seem to become "active", ie: the text cursor blinks in the text entries and text views, selecting a row in the GtkTreeView appears in the active highlight color. I'm not sure what gives with this, or how to fix it. My CreateWindow routine calls gtk_widget_grab_focus at the very end, but it seems to no avail. I've poored through the example code for Gtk 2 and don't see too much with active routines or focus routines (except for the focus example) when it comes to making widgets active in their windows. I don't understand what is going on but I shouldn't have to cause some other event to occur to make my window "activate". I've set "Can Focus", "visible", and "sensitive" in Glade for all widgets (that make sense) but it will not be active no matter what I try (clicking buttons, different selections in different trees, typing text, etc) until I select an item from my option menu or right-click in the text view. Any help is appreciated. -- .''`. Carl B.

blinking cursor/focus problems?
I set up a bunch of widgets in a window. some are GtkTreeView, some are GtkEntry widgets, one is a menu, one is a button, one is a GtkTextView. For the GtkEntry and GtkTextView's, I have the cursor/text visible and editable selected in Glade. All widgets have "can focus" set. Now, when I run my application, I can click around, but no blinking cursor in the GtkEntry or GtkTextView (though I can type text) and selecting rows in the GtkTreeView's select in a "grey" state (I can't really think of a word, maybe inactive but selected, or no focus, but selected). Now, if I right click in the GtkTextView or click my menu, suddenly the cursor can flash, and my row selections appear in the proper highlight color. Why is this? What am I forgetting to do? I tried to set one of the widgets to "has focus" in Glade, but that didn't change anything. Someone know what I'm doing wrong? -- .''`. Carl B.

cell renderers question.
I'm writting a program (screen shots posted here before) that uses many GtkTreeView's in a window. I'm using them as a list, so I have several ListStore's (one for each view). Some views have many columns, a couple have 2, and one has 1 column. I call gtk_tree_view_append_column for each column in each view. Before I do that, I make a call to gtk_cell_renderer_text_new(). I'm curious if I have to create a new renderer for each column (ie: call this function before I append a column each time) or if I can just call it once for each view? Finally, if I have a treeview with several columns (say 4, numbered 1 to 4 for simplicity sake) and it looks like this: 1 2 3 4 <-- headings d d d d where the 'd' is data, I want to be able to do the following: 1) find out exactly which cell the user clicked in (even though the whole row is highlighted). What signals need to be involved here? 2) if a user right-clicks in a column, pop-up a menu. Is this even possible? If so, what signals again? Thanks. -- .''`. Carl B.

dealing with column data
I'm writing an app that uses GtkTreeView widget to display data. However. for two of these GtkTreeViews, the data isn't really row based, but column based. It's more like a spread sheet and I don't think GTK has anything akin to what I want. Essentially, I want to be able to select an individual cell in a table. Get the data, right-click to popup a menu and perform some function. GtkTreeView isn't geared for this. I don't want to select an entire row. Does anyone have any hints on how to accomplish this? On another note, I've been pooring over the documentation for GtkTreeView in particular but other widgets as well and it astounds me (as a veteran technical writer for Metrowerks a while back) the lack of documentation. I don't mean/want to be harsh, but how can the developers of Gtk+ expect developers to write apps when there is such a lack of docs on many of the widget classes and methods? Let me give a practical example from the GtkTreeView class and one other widget: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTreeViewColumn.html The description for GtkTreeView column is incomplete. It says: "The GtkTreeViewColumn object is a visible column in a GtkTreeView widget. It determines the geometry, type" and that's as far as it gets. http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTreeView.html#GtkTreeView-select-cursor-row here, arg1 and returns are blank. What are they supposed to be? When should this be called? I really think there needs to be some more docs.

I don't have an answer for you, but I need similar functionality in a
program I'm writing. Plus I need it for multi-column lists as well. Any
info you find out would be of use to me. Similarly, if I find anything
of use, I'll report it to the list for you.

Yes, especially if you want to work on data by column instead of by row.

success with GtkTreeView
Ok, you can ignore my previous message. I did get it work by creating
another project (gtk2 only) and copy/paste the relevant code bits in.
The good news is I used Glade to create a GtkTreeView object. I then
grabbed a pointer to that object using lookup_widget, created a
GtkListStore and set the GtkTreeView up to use that list store. I then
started creating columns and adding them as showin in "Tree and List
Widget" in the Gtk+ 2.0 API docs on the website, and also some help from
some of you (special thanks to Harring Figueirdo on the Glade-Users
list -- hmm, Figueirdo, is that Portuguese?)
However, one of the things I wanted to try was to set the heading text
to be red, like shown in the API reference, but for some reason it
doesn't work. See for yourself at:
http://www.duckwing.ca/screenshots/gtktreeview.jpg
Notice the code behind "window1" shows creating the cell renderer and
setting the text to red using g_object_set:
renderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new();
g_object_set( G_OBJECT(renderer), "foreground", "red", NULL);
but when I create the column and append it to the view, the text is not
red like I *thought* it should be:
column = gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes("Shift",
renderer, "text", SHIFT_COLUMN, NULL);
gtk_tree_view_append_column(GTK_TREE_VIEW(theTreeView), column);
This is pretty much straight from the API Reference docs. Any ideas as
to why this is happening? Do the headings for the columns maybe not
allow this?

I'm getting some weird compile errors while trying to build a project with Anjuta. It's just a quick test project for playing with GtkTreeView, but I'm getting errors in main.c. The original project was created in Anjuta. I then used Glade 1.1.3 to generate all the files (after I deleted the main.c Anjuta created). I then modified main.c with the code I'm working on. However, when building the project, I get the following errors: /home/carl/Projects/experimenting/src/main.c:49: undefined reference to `create_window1' /home/carl/Projects/experimenting/src/main.c:63: undefined reference to `lookup_widget' This doesn't make sense. create_window1 is in interface.c and lookup_widget is in support.c. interface.h and support.h are included in main.c so why it can't find them is completely strange. I've even shelled out to the console and re-issued configure and make commands to see if that would help. it doesn't. If anyone is interested, the full compressed project and source can be found at: http://www.duckwing.ca/programming/experimenting.tgz (I verified the link works this time ;-) Can anyone tell me what is going on and why this doesn't work? PS: The ENABLE_NLS code that is commented out at the top of main.c also causes problems (which is why it is commented out) but it was generated by Glade so I'm not sure what's up with that. -- .''`.

controlling container sizes
I'm laying out a window in Glade and have it divided up into several sections. However, I can't control the size (width, height) of a specific section. I could use the fixed layout widget, but all the docs I've read say not to use it except on specific needs. Let me show you some examples. http://www.duckwing.ca/screeshots/shot1.jpg http://www.duckiwng.ca/screenshots/shot1-widgets.jpg The first link is the window, the second shows the widget tree for that window. I've used vertical and horizontal separator widgets in the vbox and hbox. It splits the window in exactly half (used the middle item). It would be nice if I could make the left side smaller than the right without doing a whole lot of extra containers and such. In another window, I've used a table container and tried to space things out. However, depending on what widget I put in a container dictates the size of the rest of the row/column for other widgets. so If I put a label widget in first, the column shrinks. Then I put a treeview below it and the column stays shrunk. I can use the treeview properties to make it fill to full width and height for that "cell" but it would be nice if I could have greater control over that. Any suggestions? -- .''`. Carl B.

The procedure, in brief, for creating a list and > presenting it is ahh, but how would I do it in Glade? In Glade 1.1.3, when I add a GtkTreeView object to my container, it automatically puts it in a scrolling list and only makes it 2 columns. What's more, I can't edit the properties of it to change it. This is unlike the similar object in glade 0.64 where glade asked me how many columns I wanted. I've posted a note to the glade list about this but have not heard back yet so if anyone here knows the answer I would greatly appreciate hearing it. -- .''`. Carl B.

Making a gtktreeview like gtkClist
The GtkCList is now depreciated in gtk2. GtkTreeView is supposed to take its place. However, all the examples I've seen so far do NOT address HOW to make a Tree into a List (with column Lables and the whole bit). Some of the docs I've looked at in the gtk2 reference hint at it using , but no real solid example that runs as-is. Also, how does one convert existing gtk 1.2 CList into a gtk 2.x TreeView? -- .''`.

Newbie Makefile.in Makefile.am question
John Miskinis' note about the testgtk application made me go searching. My RedHat 8 box has the actual app, but not the source. My Debian system includes the source for gtk-1.2, but not for 2.0. So I downloaded gtk2 from the web site and see the testgtk app (or something like it) in the demos directory. One problem, there is no real makefile. There is a Makefile.am and a Makefile.in. The Makefile.in says it was generated from the Makefile.am. There is no configure script, nothing. So the question is, how do I build just the demo without compiling up all of gtk2 which is already installed for me? What nuance am I missing in all this? I've tried running aclocal, automake, autoconf to no avail (they all want a configure.in file). So what do I do? -- .''`. Carl B.

No, but I'm interested in what you come up with as I'll be using that widget and others to create a table for data I retrieve from a database, what the old gtkCList widget was for. -- .''`. Carl B.

Question about include paths
I'm developing a GTK+ 2 app with Anjuta. For the most part, the glade generated files include gnome.h. I have one file where all I really want/need is gtk.h. The problem comes with the fact that I have both gtk 1.2 and gtk 2 installed on my system. So a locate gtk.h comes up thus: (duckwing@Mallard:src)$ locate gtk.h /usr/share/doc/texmf/help/Catalogue/entries/dvgtk.html /usr/share/doc/ebook-dev-ggad/html/cha-gtk.html /usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-doc/gtk/gtk.html /usr/share/gimp/1.2/help/C/dialogs/color_selectors/gtk.html /usr/share/devhelp/books/gtk-1.2/gtk.html /usr/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/gtk.h /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h So how should I include gtk.h? should it be: a) #include b) #include c) #include ? similarly, gnome.h actually has the first one. should it be changed maybe if I want to use gtk2? Note: I do not have gnome2 installed on this particular system. I do have it installed on my laptop though (which is running Gentoo). any help is appreciated. -- .''`. Carl B.

Yes, I did actually figure out that I should at least look at that
class, but I haven't done so yet. To me a tree view is not a list. It's
a tree, a hierarchy and may include a tree control.

I'll try to do that sometime this week.

Thank you. I'd appreciate the help.
