Hi, I am newbie using Gtk+. But, I think I have found a "feature" that needs documenting/verification.
Using Gnome::Glade::Xml::create() when used with a root widget that is not a toplevel widget should be done with care - and the comments added in response to Bug#412037 need to be changed. The returned pointer should not go out of scope. The reason is that the accel group created by libglademm is a (private) member of the object that has not been assigned to any toplevel window (see glade_xml_ensure_accel() and glade_xml_set_toplevel() in glade-xml.c) and gets destroyed when the Glib::RefPtr<Gnome::Glade::Xml> goes out of scope. Please see my post earlier regarding libglademm and menus to see an example demonstrating this. Roger Leigh's ogcalc example (glade/C++ version) falls into this trap as well; although it does not crash - he has only buttons and I have actiongroups/menus in my example. I still dont completely understand the workings of accelerators in Gtk +... I could'nt find any writeups and am currently digging through the source to try and understand! Any pointers would be nice... Thanks, -karthik _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
