getting the allocated size of a widget

I'm writing an image viewer application and I want to be able to scale the image being shown to fit the window, whatever size that may be. There's other stuff in the window too so getting just the window size isn't an option. What's the easiest/correct way to get the current width and height of

signals stop working

I have an application with several GtkEntry's and a GtkTextView. I wanted to put the cut, copy and paste commands in my edit menu with the GTK_STOCK images and accelerators just for cosmetic value (GtkTextView and GtkTextEntry support the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V shortcuts natively). To do this

clipboards under win32

I'm having a little difficulty understanding the concepts behind clipboards in GTK. I want to use these functions in a text editing app: gtk_text_buffer_paste_clipboard() gtk_text_buffer_copy_clipboard() gtk_text_buffer_cut_clipboard() but they all require a GtkClipboard object as an argument.

UI manager problem, more concise

Umm, lets see. I have a whole bunch of UImanager code, but none of it causes an error until I get to this: if (!gtk_ui_manager_add_ui_from_string (ui, ui_info, -1, error)) { g_message (building menus failed: %s, error-message); g_error_free (error); } The weird thing is that although I get a

Image display without window

I've seen applications (eg. mozilla and blender) display an image at startup without any (visible) container such as a window or dialog. I would like to add this touch of class to my app, anyone know the easiest way? I tried just adding a GtkImage to a GtkWindow, removing window decorations

UIManager errors

I'm trying to create a simple menu for my app with the new UIManager functions under GTK+ 2.6. I've copied most of my code for it from the the gtk-demo.exe app and I still can't get it to work. Compiles fine, but I get a long list of errors, all of which are like these (same error for similar

Easiest way to get browser functionality embedded on win32?

I'm writing my first mildly useful GTK+ app so still learning and I'd like to embed a web browser in it. I don't need to handle any input or output except getting it to load a HTML/Javascript file and render it properly. What's the easiest way to do this in GTK+ for win32? Currently I'm
