Each programming language will have a slightly different idiomatic way of working with GObject introspection, so it is no surprise that the Python API to GTK+3 is somewhat different to the D one. (And then there is gtkmm.) The D source binding creation appears not to deal with the comments (which would be very hard I suspect) so they retain their original C- ness. This can be very irritating, and indeed annoying. However, at least there is: http://api.gtkd.org/src/gtk/AboutDialog.html Do not be confused by the URL or the start point, it is actually the full API, just with a weird UX. Mayhap some of us should club together and make this better. The demos in: https://github.com/gtkd-developers/GtkD/tree/master/demos are OK for initial learning, but seemingly rapidly run out of usefulness. Which leads to my feeling that there are far too few examples of GtkD use out there that are: a. Idiomatic. b. Up to date. c. Reviewed and recognized as good. As Gerald points out he has a couple of applications that are useful for various approaches and techniques. https://github.com/gnunn1/vgrep https://github.com/gnunn1/terminix > Any help on where I can get better leaning materials(GtkD)? Repo, > blogs post, etc please There is my own adventure into using GtkD, especially the GStreamer binding, I have no idea if this is good code, and it may soon have to stop being FOSS (and so will stagnate). https://github.com/russel/Foscam_Client What we need here is a collection of people reviewing each others GtkD code and having a listing board somewhere on the GtkD site of all the codes available and what they show. It is the annotations as much as the code itself that is needed for learning. Without comparative review, we may end up propagating bad code and bad GTK use. So rather than just email as here, we should be looking to create a "living document" on the wiki – not an historical type thing but an always up-to-date, curated document. -- Russel.=============================================================================Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder@ekiga.net41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.ukLondon SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
