This is a GTK / X term. See for example http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-realize 'Realizing' a widget is a specific event that happens between construction of the widget and showing of the widget. For example, you can implement your own custom on_realize() handlers for widgets. There are some functions you can't call until a widget is realized and therefore you can't perform them in the constructor of the widget, you must perform them in an on_realize() handler or some point after that. For example, Widget::get_window() will return a NULL point if you call it in the constructor of a widget, but after it has been realized, it will return the Gdk::Window associated with the widget. -- jonner _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
