Bring gtk dialog window to front
Hi all, I have one application that has multiple full screen dialog windows. I am trying to bring one dialog to front that is already created showed earlier now it is back side of other windows. Can anybody suggest how to bring a dialog window to front that is already present at back side? *Warm Regards,* * Guruprasad Bhat.* ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

In my opinion, the most useful under Linux is valgrind. Run it with something like: export G_DEBUG=gc-friendly This makes Glib clear certain memory areas after using them, too. export G_SLICE=always-malloc This completely disables the magazine and slab allocator in Glib, and makes it use plain malloc()/free() instead. valgrind --leak-check=yes \ myprog ... myprog-vg.log 21 You will get some false positives. I have a suppressions file here: http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/development/nip2.supp Which hides all the false positives from the gtk stack.

RE: Memory management in gtk
Thank you jhon..i have checked using Valgrind and it is not showing any memory leaks. So I was checking the memory usage using top. I will check using ur suggestion. Thank you verymuch. -Original Message- From: jcup...@gmail.com [mailto:jcup...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 2:43 PM To: Vishak V.

moving message on a gtk dialog
Hi all, I was thinking of a application for showing moving message. In gtk is it possible to do that? I want a small gtk dialog displaying moving message. Can any one suggest in this regard. *Regards,* * Guruprasad Bhat.* ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

You'll need a few extra spaces at the end of the message. Then you'll need an idle callback or timeout to call the string scrolling routine and then to redisplay it as a label. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
