I have been trying to implement Win32's MessageBox using GTK. The app using SDL/OpenGL, so this isn't a GTK app. I handle the initialisation (gtk_init) sort of stuff inside the MessageBox function as follows: int MessageBox(HWND hwnd, const char* text, const char* caption, UINT type){ GtkWidget *window = NULL; GtkWidget *dialog ...
I realise purists would say "use the command-line" but this is the age of Ubuntu and since I spend most of my time behind a proxy server I find it easier to configure and use PuTTY on Windows than configure ssh with connect.c I also realise PuTTY is available on Linux but it seems to use some weird GUI widget set that is rather nasty t...
I'm writing a few little bash scripts under Ubuntu linux. I want to be able to run them from the GUI without needing a terminal window to enter any input or view any output. So far the only input required is a password for sudo - and gksudo handles that fine. But I haven't found an easy way to show a message box yet. Is there some kind ...
What is the best way to use PyGame (SDL) within a PyGTK application? I'm searching for a method that allows me to have a drawing area in the GTK window and at the same time being able to manage both GTK and SDL events. ...
Hello there. I've been learning python for a while now with some success. I even managed to create one or two (simple) programs using PyGtk + Glade. The thing is: I am not sure if the best way to use GTK with python is by building the interfaces using Glade. I was wondering if the more experienced ones among us (remember, I'm just a b...
I have a Glade GUI description file with a GtkTreeView in a GtkHBox in a window; and there's a handler for the row_activated signal. Now, Glade has automatically set the "events" property (inherited from GtkWidget) of that treeview to some value (GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK | GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_...
I've recently started playing with Mono (1.9.1) on Ubuntu 8.04 with the Mono-Develop IDE (v1). I am attempting to use GTK-Sharp 2 to run the GUI for the play apps. For some reason when I try to create gtk dialogs (ColorSelectionDialog or MessageDialog) the compiler throws the error "'Gtk.ColorSelectionDialog.ColorSelectionDialog(GLib.G...
I've created a python object, but I want to send signals on it. I made it inherit from gobject.GObject, but there doesn't seem to be any way to create a new signal on my object. ...
I'm trying to keep dependencies to a minimum for a program I contribute to, it's a small text editor. GTK Textview doesn't seem to come with a built-in undo function. Is there any reference implementation I've been missing on so far? Is everyone writing their own undo function for their TextView widgets? I'll be happy about any sample ...
I'm using Mono with GTK# and am trying to display an existing window as a new tab in a GTK.Notebook. I'm currently re-parenting the widget to the notebook as follows: MyWindow myWindow = new MyWindow(); myWindow.Children[0].Reparent(myNotebook) Should I be doing this, or is there a better way to re-use an existing window so that you...
I know it's possible to place a PyCairo surface inside a Gtk Drawing Area. But I think Qt is a lot better to work with, so I've been wondering if there's anyway to place a PyCairo surface inside some Qt component? ...
I have a GTK notebook with multiple tabs. Each tab label is a composite container containing, among other things, a button I want to use to close the tab. The button has a handler for the "clicked" signal. When the signal is called, I get the button widget and "EventArgs" as a parameter. I need to determine the page number based on t...
If I'm writing an application that wants to communicate some information through the use of color, how can I change the background and foreground colors of a given widget? I would like to know how to do this in glade if it's possible, as well as programmatically (to a computed color). I want to know how to do this to a complex widget a...
I'm specifically looking for one that lets me display a map of US states with each one as it's own "object" in the sense that I can control the color, on click, and on mouseover of each one individually. GTK is my personal preference, but at this point I'd settle for just about anything. The application itself will be written in Python...
I have read that it is possible to build GTK+ on MacOS X. I know that it's possible to create a bundle of a GTK+ application on MacOS. I also know that it's possible to create widgets that look sort of native. However, searching around I am not really clear on how to create a bundle that includes the native theme stuff, and uses Pytho...
I have a list control in GTK+ (a gtk.TreeView with one column), with "find-as-you type" enabled (so typing any text will open a small search field for searching through the list entries). Now, if the user enters some search text like "abc", should I search only for entries starting with "abc", or should I search for entries that contain ...
I need to determine which version of GTK Ubuntu is using. Man does not seem to help ...
I need to setup LookAndFeel Files in JDK 1.6. I have two files: napkinlaf-swingset2.jar napkinlaf.jar How can I set this up and use it? I would like a GTK look and feel OR Qt look and feel, Are they available? ...
Hello, I was wondering which one should I consider if I need the software to be used on both platforms, WIN and Linux and why? ...
Now, I know this is completely subjective, so please don't flame me. I've never been entirely satisfied with linux whenever I decided to install a distro like Ubuntu, Fedora etc. because of their awkward positioning and spacing of widgets. Have a look at this: Notice the awkward spacing of the text field's text. I've seen many Gno...
