This is exactly the behavior I want, but g++ says "error:
'hide_on_delete' is not a member of 'Gtk::Widget'".
What am I missing?
Hi,
looking at the docs, it's only referred to in gtkmm 3.6; however, it's
not listed as a method of Gtk::Window, and isn't in the Gtk
documentation at the gtk doc site.
<http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkWindow.html> I didn't look
through the source, but I'd guess it's still being implemented.
You look at the wrong class. It's Gtk::Widget, not Gtk::Window.
Why not just override signal::hide() instead? - with the proviso that
altering expected and reasonable behaviour tends to fail user
acceptance testing.
Ian.
Much of the gtkmm documentation is automatically copied from gtk+, and
to some extent adjusted to C++. E.g. "gtk_widget_hide_on_delete()" in
the gtk+ documentation is translated to "Gtk::Widget::hide_on_delete()"
in the gtkmm documentation. This is done by the command gmmproc in glibmm.
As you can expect, this kind of automatic translation is not always
perfect. In this case it does not take into account that
gtk_widget_hide_on_delete() is not wrapped in a gtkmm method. There is a
gtk_widget_hide_on_delete() in gtk+, but there is no
Gtk::Widget::hide_on_delete() in gtkmm. I don't know if there is a good
reason not to include it in gtkmm, or if it's just that no one has taken
the time to do it.
You can connect the gtk+ function to the signal, and see if it works as
you want. The function arguments to the signal handler don't fit
gtk_widget_hide_on_delete(). One way to solve this problem is that you
write a small signal handler that calls gtk_widget_hide_on_delete().
Alternatively you can solve the problem with sigc::bind and sigc::hide.
