hi, i have a widget that organizes other widgets by placing them in gdk windows. this works well for the ruler widget i have at the top, but not at all for boxes, buttons, or entries.
i set the children's parent widget to mine with gtk_widget_set_parent and the appropriate gdkwindow with gtk_widget_set_parent_window. i then move the gdkwindows to where i want them. as i said before, this works well with the ruler, which moves right along with its parent gdkwindow. however, the other widgets i mentioned do not follow their window. they act as if the main widget window is their parent. this makes NO sense to me as i check to see which window they have set as their parent during the draw event and it is the correct window. ( i just tried putting hrulers in the same places and they do work correctly.) on a similar note, when i was experimenting to see if widgets other than the box would work, i found that buttons and entries somehow stop the draw event for my widget! what the heck is that all about? i must be doing something wrong for this last thing to happen. hrulers do the same thing, but not the one i normally have at the top. any ideas? btw: which list should programming be discussed on? i always thought it was to be done on [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it seems to be more widely discussed on [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks! -- -greg http://neenjatech.org Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. -- Eric Hoffer _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
