Re: Creating an aggregating GtkContainer

The dialog allows users to customize different options which depends on the current printer being selected. What I'm struggling to implement is a GtkContainer which sort of aggregates or combines multiple sub-containers. So that when adding new widgets each sub-container is filled until no more space is available then the next sub-container is filled. A picture of how this should look like is available here: http://wiki.openusability.org/printing/index.php/Image:Level3.5_1200.png This is what I call a flowing columned container: Widgets are moved into the next column if the current column is full, like text in newspaper columns. You can see the result here, for instance: http://www.glom.org/screenshots/glom_example_filmmanager.png In that screenshot the widgets are divided between the two columns at runtime. I have a custom FlowTable container http://git.gnome.org/cgit/glom/tree/glom/utility_widgets/flowtable.cc to do this in Glom, but a) It's C++, using gtkmm b) The size/positioning code is horrible and inefficient. c) It's hacky. This can't be done properly until we have height-for-width layout in GTK+: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101968 -- murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
Images + labels in buttons
In previous versions of gnome/gtk, both images and labels appeared in buttons. Starting with gnome 2.28, if there is a label, the image will only appear if the gconf property desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons is True. In my application, the image on some buttons is an important clue to the function of the button. Is there any way to force the image to be displayed regardless of the setting of buttons_have_icons? ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
Capture console app output into texview?
Hi, i am trying to run a text mode application in the background of my gtk one and display its output in a textview. I know this is supposed to be done using g_spawn_async_with_pipes and then link to the output via g_io_add_watch. I even got something that sort of works, but the output is very much delayed and comes in chunks and worse, the CPU load is at max while and after i run my code. Are there any examples for doing this? There must be many programs doing something similar to run e.g. some little helper program or similar.

If anyone cares, I found this in the GtkSettings documentation. It forces button icons to be enabled: g_type_class_unref(g_type_class_ref(GTK_TYPE_BUTTON)); g_object_set(gtk_settings_get_default(), gtk-button-images, TRUE, NULL); ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

You generally won't get away with forking after the gtk+ main loop is running. You should fork before the main loop is running, and if you cannot do that start a new thread to fork from. If you do the latter on a POSIX (unix-like) system you must only call async-signal-safe functions between the fork and the exec*. If you are using windows, I do not know what the restraints are.
