gdk_gc_new(your_widget->window) will allocate a graphics context that you can use to draw a rectangle. You should call gdk_gc_unref() when you are done with it. Alternatively, you could just create a GtkEventBox and use gtk_widget_modify_bg(). -Anthony Vallone

I am using the gdk_draw_rectangle API but it takes gc graphics Context parameter. I am not able to find out proper values for gc. I saw the scribble.c program available but it is not compiling using gcc. Does some one has some application which is using gtk_draw_rectangle(). I have gone through its documentation but i am not able to make a simple function using it.... Please if any one knows how to use this function and parameters passed to GdkGC explain it. Regards, Nisha
