*_new() function should never do more than call g_object_new(). If one does more then it's a bug. This allows language bindings (and derived classes) to use their own derived GTypes. It also allows RAD tools such as Glade to instantiate these types without knowing about specific _new() functions and their parameters. > I have a GObject class with a pblic constructor function which takes > an argument list.

You really need to fix or amend the C API. You can see how Gtk::Dialog does this, allowing you to call add_button() repeatedly instead. -- Murray Cumming [email protected] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
