GTK and C# comparison: compare and contrast discussion
Hello, This is a request for someone to contrast the similarities in scope and differences between the following concepts: - GTK properties and C# properties - GTK Quarks and C# enums I am assuming that these concepts are somewhat akin to each other. Furthermore I would like to ask whether GTK provides some support for component-based (as opposed to object-based) programming, and if so, then how is the component paradigm accomplished in GTK? Feedback welcome, Best Regards, Neil Zanella ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
please help disabling spinbutton arrows
Hello, I need to temporarily disable spinbutton arrows so that the user can still cut text from the spinbutton contents and paste it elsewhere, but cannot change it in any way. In particular the arrows need to be disabled without disabling the entire widget. This makes sense for the following reason: the disabling is temporary: the user presses a button which disables it in order for a particular operation to complete in a way that makes sense, an then another button click elsewhere reenables editing the numbers using the spin button arrows. So, how do I temporarily disable the spin button arrows so that they become grayed out but without the text entry box being grayed out? I want the spin button arrows to be disabled, and the user to still be able to cut text from the white space for text entry. How do I do this?

spinbutton problem with numeric input
Hello, I am using a spinbutton for numeric input. The problem is that when I set the numeric property to on I cannot seem to enter text with the keyboard.

Re: gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first
Thank you for your feedback. It just seemed to me that we could do away with one more variable if the boolean were not there. I guess allocating the iterator on the stack rather than on the heap is faster, and makes sense since as you said iterators are meant to be used for looping and are not expected to be used beyond block scope, so by having them on the stack you need not free them. Interesting explanation. Others welcome...

GTK+ Qt widget stack: how?
Hello, I am migrating from Qt to GTK+ and from Qt designer to Glade. Hence, I would like to know the following as I cannot seem to find the answers in the GTK+ documentation: -- 1. Qt Designer has the following widet, called a widget stack: $ designer -> Window -> View -> Object Explorer -> Containers -> Widget Stack which comes from the Qt class QWidgetStack. This basically allows you to superimpose widgets in a container, with only one of them being visible at a time. Then a selection such as the one from a combo box emits a signal and the desisred widget from the widget stack is plaed on the top of the stack with the other ones becoming invisible as this takes place. Does GTK offer a similar widget? How about GNOME? I think there should be such a widget somewhere. How do I use it from within glade? --- 2. Glade 2.5.0 is telling me that the GTK+ Column Table (ctable) widget is deprecated. However it seems to me that the new API does not show it as being deprecated. What gives? What else am I supposed to use if it relly is deprecated. Cause I really do need a widget with columns that looks like a table, and it seems to me that the glade "List or Tree View" isn't quite capable of achieving the same effect (at least, in glade, it doesn't seem to let me specify how many columns I want, which is not good). So is ctable deprecated or not, and if it is, what am I supposed to do about it?
