RE: Gtk2::MessageDialog title
Of course. Gtk2::MessageDialog isa Gtk2::Dialog isa Gtk2::Window, so just just Gtk2::Window::set_title(). See below. I did actually look at Gtk2::Dialog but didn't see it there either. Should have just kept moving up?/down? the hierarchy. It is in Gtk2::Window - the parent of Gtk2::Dialog http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkDialog.html#GtkDialog.object-hierarchy But beware that the gnome human interface guidelines say that alert windows should have no title, as the title would normally just duplicate the text of the message... so, depending on what you're doing, you might actually want to blank out the title. http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-alert.html.en Thank you very much for this, will check out the rest of the HIG to make sure I'm staying on track. For each widget in Gtk2 there is a man page; each man page has a HIERARCHY section, which shows the class ancestry for that type. Or you can look at the C api reference on gtk.org, which has the same info in a different format. Wasn't aware I could also refer to the C api reference. Thanks again. I prefer using the C api reference - http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/index.html. ___ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list

Of course. Gtk2::MessageDialog isa Gtk2::Dialog isa Gtk2::Window, so
just just Gtk2::Window::set_title(). See below.

I have the following:
sub show_duplicate_dialog
{
#
# A modal dialog. Note that the message is a printf-style format.
#
my($duplicate) = @_;
my($dialog) = Gtk2::MessageDialog-new (undef,
'destroy-with-parent',
'error', # message type
'ok', # which set of buttons?
#printf format:
\%s\ already selected.,
$duplicate);
$dialog-set_title (Fooo);
my($response) = $dialog-run;
$dialog-destroy;
}
But can't work out how to add a title to the dialog box that appears.
For each widget in Gtk2 there is a man page; each man page has a
HIERARCHY section, which shows the class ancestry for that type. Or
you can look at the C api reference on gtk.org, which has the same
info in a different format.
