Maybe it's worth to add that a way of using glade is to build the general look of your app, like menu, status bar, panels and other containers. Then, when you need more control, you can grab a reference to a widget defined in glade, and modify it at your convenience - adding nested widgets, changing property values, etc. Of course, it all boils down to tastes, and I tend to think like Anset for the most of the time. However, I wanted to jump in because I'm working on a project that uses glade + hand written gtk# code, and so far it works like a charm for us - though I leave the glade stuff to another developer ;-) Cheers, Rodolfo _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
