[Mono-list] GTK# installers gone
Hi, there used to be installer for GTK# on mono web site. It's all gone now, only a huge installer that contains mono as well as GTK# is there. Where can I get GTK# only so that I don't have to bundle that huge installer with my application setup. ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
Re: [Mono-list] Comparison: Windows/WPF vs Mono/Glade/Gtk
Hi, I am working with Gtk# a lot, in a nutshell: WPF works only on windows, so if you want your app cross-platform, don't use it. WinForms are cute on windows, ugly on linux and mac, and some features don't even works there or are glitched GTK is cute on linux, somewhat OK on windows, despite it may look alien to some users (not all controls look identical as in winforms applications), on Mac it's probably similar to windows (I don't have mac I can't test it). Biggest caveat I found in Gtk# is that it has no embedded webbrowser, so if your application needs to render web pages or html, it will be extremely complicated to get it working. Also, there is no decent GUI WYSIWYG editor. There are many of them, including mono itself, but they all are incomparable worse than WYSIWYG for WinForms that is in VisualStudio.

Can you provide a comparison how it stacks up in comparison/contrast with native if you will .NET WPF? Assuming C# in all cases. Gtk# with Glade or MonoDevelop: This solution is great if you don't really care very much about how things are displayed. For example, you want to have a table on the window, and you don't want to care about fonts, background colors, etc. Nearly everything in Gtk# is fixed, you can't touch it. This is probably great to give the impression of stability and consistency between platforms and applications. It is not very good if you want to somehow innovate or just do things differently. WPF is not supported in mono, and I have to confess that I haven't worked with it at all. Just WinForms is provided, and it seems that it has been abandoned: I mean, you can still create applications using WinForms, but it is not adviced to do so. It seems that nobody is taking care of the winforms code. So, embedding avalon does not seem to be possible at all. -- Baltasar (baltas...@gmail.com http://baltasarq.info/) ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
[Mono-list] Implementing web browser into GTK# application
Hi, is there any way to implement some kind of (preferably open source) web browser component into GTK application written in c#? Thanks ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
Re: [Mono-list] Implementing web browser into GTK# application
I would prefer something what is contained in default libraries shipped with GTK# so that I don't need to create extra dependencies for some 3rd libraries, is there anything like that in mono?

[Mono-list] Korean text in windows in Gtk TextView
Hi, I am having troubles rendering Korean text in windows in TextView, however exactly same code works on linux (it's a c# application using GTK#). Is there any reason why GTK# for windows is unable to render it? What can I do to fix it? ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
Re: [Mono-list] Korean text in windows in Gtk TextView
In fact I am on linux and it works on me, this was reported by user who is Korean and has localized windows 7 so I assume the language itself is supported by OS. However I didn't have a chance to test this myself on windows so far, I just know in linux it works OK On Sat, Aug 24, 2013 at 4:12 PM, Daniel Lo Nigro li...@dan.cx wrote: Does Korean text work in other applications? Not sure about Windows 7, but Windows XP required you to install custom fonts through Control Panel to get Asian language support working.

[Mono-list] What is current status of GTK#
Hey, I already posted gtk-sharp-list but given that it's rather dead I don't expect any answer soon there. I am using gtk# as a primary graphical framework for at least 2 or more of my applications, but I haven't seen many updates recently. What is current development status? Is anyone working on it? Can we expect GTK# for gtk3 any time soon? I know that people are probably switching to wxt but I don't like it. GTK is very small and leaves smaller memory footprint than WPF or WinForms even on windows and is significantly faster, so I would prefer to just stick with native GTK rather than some library that uses GTK on linux only.

Re: [Mono-list] What is current status of GTK#
Hi, What does it mean? Is GTK# going to be supported in future? I am afraid it will die and get replaced by xwt or something like that :( (if that is a case, I hope that mono developers make it really easy to convert existing gtk# application to xwt, by calling the controls same and properties as well, as rewriting the whole GUI of huge app is a lot of pointless work) Also, you mentioned that monodevelop is using gtk#3 is there any guide how to install and use it? I suppose that only way is to download the sources and build it myself, which may not work in windows as it would require the gtk3 libraries as well.

I know that people are probably switching to wxt but I don't like it. I know what you mean, for me the big hole is the lack of a multi-line text entry box. I think it is a very good idea though and when using the GTK backend I'm sure it is just as responsive as regular gtk# GTK is very small and leaves smaller memory footprint than WPF or WinForms even on windows and is significantly faster, so I would prefer to just stick with native GTK rather than some library that uses GTK on linux only.
