Re: GTK Coding Conventions

[Stefan Kost]

Hi Rick,
look at the GObject tutorial:
http://www.le-hacker.org/papers/gobject/
If you design your application in a oo-fashion, all global variables you have is 
an application object handle. That in turn knows the rest. Its like a tree, 
where one tree-node knows stuff about what it is responsible for and who is its 
parent.
Generally OO design needsa some thinking, like what parts, modules my app 
consist of and so on. It definitely pays back, when the app get larger.
A keyword to look out for is: 'Design Patterns'.

I myself look in apps like e.g gedit.

Hello,
I am a noob to GTK+ programming, and GUI programming in general. I have
worked through the example, and done a few simple programs of my own.
I would like to improve my programs. Particularly I would like to do
away with , or at least reduce, the mumber of global variables. I would
also like to make my code more modular and object oriented.  Can anyone
recommend any good examples, or simple programs, that I could study to
learn good GTK+ coding practices?

What is GTK+


GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties. 


Where to get more information about GTK+


Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be
found at:
 
http://www.gtk.org/

An installation guide for GTK+ 2.6 is found at:

Re: OT: Processor register size

Depends on the CPU architecture.  E.g. some have
a mixture of register sizes (especially 8-bit CPUs,
but also 16-bit ones).  On the PDP11 series an int
was typically 16 bits and so was a register, but
a pointer would be 32 bits (and so was a long).

A float almost never fits into a register (except on
the FPU of course), but that expression will get you the numbe
of bytes that a float uses in memory, which seems to be
what you want.  You could also use
#define FLOAT_BYTES sizeof(float)

running a function

[timothy johnson]

I am new to gtk, and trying my hand at writing a mp3player, I am
working on the point of the player that when one song is done playing
it will load and play the next song. How do I run a test function
every couple milli seconds to check to see if it is still playing or
not? is g_timeout_add() what I need to use? Any example code?

Fwd: Popup Menu

[César Leonardo Blum Silveira]

Nobody's getting the point.

1) I WANT TO write that program, because I always want to learn more
2) I don't need to capture the root window's mouse events, what
happens is that when an iDesk icon is right-clicked it lanches a new
program, and that "program" will be my menu
3) I don't have money to get my girlfriend a new computer
4) I want to install Slackware there, in orther to customize it for her machine

Thanks anyways,

César

Re: Link error: gdk_display_new

[Antonio Gomes]

Hi PSM,

take a look at 
and look for 'gdk_display_new' ... I think you are trying to use a
function specific of the 2.6.x series of GTK :S.

Try to upgrade your gtk, but note: it's it could became a hard task in
SuSE :\ !!

Re: Popup Menu

[Antonio Gomes]

César, 

instead you customize a Window Manager, why don't you try to use the
"Familix Linux" . It's the linux most similar  with Windows that I
ever see 8-)

It can find out Windows Networks, and so on ... Familix was entirely
built in Brazil, therefore your official web site is in Portuguese ...
but if you don't speak portuguese, you can at least see some
screenshot of it ...
.

I've already implement it in a "advocacy office" , durring a migration
process (win -> linux), aiming to reduce costs like win and office
licenses.

So ... you know :) it just a tip ...

Widget sizes

[Stéphane Konstantaropoulos]

Hello All,

I have implemeted a widget and I'd like it to notify its container of
its preferred size but I do not want this size to be compulsory.

So I override the size_request method of the widget, where I set the
GtkRequisition.

Fine, it works, when I put that widget into a GtkVBox then into a
GtkWindow it resizes the whole thing when the app calls
gtk_widget_size_request(); then gtk_widget_queue_resize() on the widget;

But, the widget cannot be resized to smaller than that afterwards, it
works if I make the window bigger but it is stuck to the requested size
as the smallest size.

Is there a workaround? (without using calls to the toplevel window)
Perhaps in the GtkVBox that contains the widget?

Thanks for helping,

Great! No need for Gdk threads so I removed the call to gdk_threads_init
() and just kept the call to XInitThreads() before doing anything else
and -- it works...

debugging font problems

[Dan McMahill]

I recently updated everything (fontconfig, glib, atk, pango, gtk, etc)
on my solaris-9 box with openwin.  Now I can longer get any fonts to
display in gtk2 programs.  Not even the gtk-demo program.  So until
I can fix this, I can't write gtk programs anymore and use them!

I've re-run fc-cache with 'fc-cache -f -v' to make sure it completes
as it has in the past.  Then I tried running the gtk-demo program
on both the solaris-9 box and a NetBSD/alpha box.  What I found is:


client  Xserver Result
--  --- ---
gtk-demo,   Solaris-9,  seems ok
NetBSD/alphaopenwin


gtk-demo,   Solaris-9,  no fonts
Solaris-9/sparc openwin


gtk-demo,   Win XP  seems ok
NetBSD/alphaX/deep


gtk-demo,   Win XP, seems ok
Solaris-9/sparc X/deep

gtk1 programs   Solaris-9   all are fine
on any machine  openwin

so there seems to be something about the client and
X server being on the solaris box.

Any suggestions on how to debug whats going on?  

I'm using version 2.6.4 of gtk2, 2.3.0 of fontconfig, pango-1.8.1,
not sure what other versions are of use.

Thanks
-Dan

changing keyboard on the fly

[Boncek, John]

I've searched high and low and can't find any information about how to
change keyboard layout within a GTK application.  I don't need to remap
keys or anything similar.  I want everything to be standard wrt the
keyboard in question, but I need to allow a user to select which of a
number of standard keyboard layouts they are using, including US, Greek,
Russian, etc.  I've found some information about GdkKeymap and how it's
used to interpret keyboard state but nothing about selecting a different
keyboard.  The application needs to do this because it's an embedded
turnkey app running under IceWM; the IceWM environment will not be exposed
to the user.

How about to use something like:
struct directory {
char *path;
list *files;
};

GtkTextView and scrolled window

[Mishael A Sibiryakov]

Hello.

I have a two small question about GtkTextView and about how it works
with scrolled window widget.

1. I have a TextView witch is placed to scrolled window (this is simple
chat window), and i want to do automatic scroll is new message inserted
to TextBuffer. How can i do that ? I try to read about GtkAdjustment but
i have not absolutely understood how i can do that.

2. How i can do "messages limit" ? Now i can count lines in TextBuffer
and remove line on first TextIter if count is more than limit. Is this
correct, or anybody know most beautiful solution ?

Sorry for my poor english.

Or if you want to get fancy try embedding mozilla right in your app :-)
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/gtk-embedding.html
Then you could even use javascript to dynamically construct the report 
and it provides a pretty nice interface for printing.

It's also portable --> http://severna.homeip.net/gtkmozwin32.php
the win32 patch -->  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256560

Apologies for hijacking your thread, but on a related question - my
applet is nothing but an gtk.Entry, which already has a popup menu (with
Cut, Copy, ..., "Input Methods->" items).  How can I get the gtk.Menu
object when it pops (or otherwise add extra gtk.MenuItems to the popup
menu)?  I want to add "Preferences" and "About" items, without losing
the existing Cut, Copy, etc.

tia,
Nigel.

Have you examined all the alternatives?

[Athanasios Anastasiou]

Hello Cesar
The things people do for love!!! :-)
Have you examined all the possible alternatives for the application you 
are trying to make? For example, maybe the window manager you are 
refering to (FVWM), has already some means of modifying the behaviour of 
the right click, or even the option of modifying the pop up menu that 
appears.

If you use GTK to provide this functionality you should bare in mind 
that the application will probably not have a proper main window and 
will have to stay ON all the time. Traping the right click event is 
going to be tricky, as you only want it to respond when the mouse is 
over the desktop area and still it might collide with the right click 
event response from the window manager.

So...Why dont you buy your girlfriend a new computer that can run a more 
geared up distribution of linux? If she is a beginer she is going to 
appreciate it much more than having to cope with all the "limitations" 
and "pecularities" your solution introduces. There is even the 
possibility of turning down Linux because she does not find it practical 
and think that its ugly. Think about it.

All the best.

Re: Help!!!!!!!

[Muthiah Annamalai]

Hello!
You could have well done some kind of search on this
list before. But Ill suggest something else,
read the rest of this mail, it may solve your probs,
and 
donot use GTK+1.2  shift to GTK+2.0 API.

1] System date can be got from calls like
asctime(), see man asctime
2] TO get current focus, try gtk_widget_get_focus()
   or something in gtkwidget.h
3] use `pkg-config libglade-1.0 --cflags --libs`
try changing the version, or using it without
   versions.
Cheers
Muthu.

Re: GTK+, CYGWIN, MSW and GCC flagas

[Dov Grobgeld]

Hello Jamiil,

Writing the makefile with the proper flag for cygwin is a lot
less text than the contents of your email ;-) :

COPT = -mms-bitfields -mno-cygwin
DEBUG = -g -Wall
INCLUDE = `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0`
LDFLAGS = `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` -mwindows
CFLAGS = $(COPT) $(DEBUG) $(INCLUDE) 
SRC = foo.c \
  bar.c
OBJ = $(SRC:.c=.o)

foo : $(OBJ)
$(LINK.c) -o $@ $(OBJ) $(LDFLAGS)

Put this in a file called "Makefile", changed the SRC variable to
include the projects sources, save and then write make from the
cygwin shell. The result is an executable that is independant 
from cygwin.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dov (who actually much prefers using scons instead of make)
