Hi all, I am relatively new with GTK and I believe I am misunderstanding the concept of the type system. That is why I need a little help here.
Looking at the source files of GTK it looks like that all functions that resemble C++ virtual functions and the type system configures when the the type is created are declared as static. For example the widget's "realise" function. If I decide to write my own widget deriving from the generic widget type I would initialize the pointer in GtkWidgetClass to point to my own "realize" function and that is all right. But when I start implementing my "realize" function I would like to first call the "realize" function of the base class so it can do its job and then proceed with my own code. The base class function though is static and is not declared in the header file. I thought probably there is a good reason for that and I shouldn't be calling it. I thought probably I am thinking too much in C++ terms and probably there is another way to accomplish this. I would highly appreciate if somebody helps me with this. Thanks in advance, -Martin _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
