No, but the use of the API will be very very similar. > In regard to the gnome-devel mailing > list: who wrote the C++ wrappers? Mostly me. > I naturally assumed that the gtkmm > crowd did that.

Can you be more precise. What function exactly? It has a return value but it doesn't have a return value? Maybe you could link to viewcvs, or just mention exact files and functions. > When I check the return value for this method, it > gives me the same return value for all three possible buttons that can > be pushed in the dialog.

I'm sure that libgnomeprint*mm will work just as well as libgnomeprint*, though there's the theoeritcal possibility that we might have some small bugs to fix in the wrapper. But the wrapping is simple so there's no hidden magic. I doubt that _anybody_ is really using libgnomeprint*mm at the moment. And not many people are using the C API either. However, it obviously works for gedit, gnumeric, evolution, etc. We are all waiting for the perfect cairo-based printing API to arrive in a future version of GTK+. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
