That would just be Glib::Variant< std::map< Glib::ustring, Glib::Variant<T> > with 'T' being the underlying type in the variant. Using Glib::VariantBase instead of Glib::Variant<T> is possible only that to get the value in the variant, it has to be cast to the actual Glib::Variant<T> type. Of course, none of this is possible presently without the below mentioned commit. > Right now it seems that you can only create arrays of basic types > (int, float, strings) with Glibmm.

See the modified test as an example of what is possible. -- José _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
