Is it possible in Gtk+ to have an add-tab button inline with the tabs in a notebook, ala Opera or Google Chrome? I do know that Opera uses Qt and Chrome uses custom tabs, but is it possible in pure Gtk+? ...
I have a list of divs with images in them: <div class="wizard-img"><%= image_tag("sources/pix/nyt.png") %></div> <div class="wizard-img"><%= image_tag("sources/pix/theguardian.png") %></div> When a user clicks the div, I'd like it to change the image to x-on.png, when clicked again, it'll change to x-off.png, and when clicked a third ...
I am trying to set up an add-tab button in a Gtk::Notebook (gtkmm). I am doing this by drawing a pixmap to a calculated position -- that works just fine. However, when trying to receive events for it, I cannot pick up a single left click. Single middle and single right give both press and release events, and double left gives just a pres...

I need to detect when the mouse pointer leaves an area in a GtkNotebook. Normally this is possible with the motion_notify event, but if the pointer is moved fast enough, the event is not triggered. Because this is a certain area of pixels in a GtkNotebook, it is not possible to use a GtkEventBox. What is the proper way to do this? ...
Hello, I have a WPF application that uses a component that sends a bitmap to my application as they become available, I receive those bitmaps in a delegate I pass to this component. I created a new thread for this process and it works very well, the bitmaps comes as MemoryStream and I just create the BitmapSource object from this stream...
What is the best way to design a memory viewer control (a la Visual Studio's Memory Window)? The control will be mapped onto a byte array and a value representing the starting address (optionally, the control could be mapped onto an object that interfaces to "memory" directly with read/write methods and events for memory changed). The ...
I'm a fan of swing and find it has done everything I need except for extensible GUIs. I can make small parts extensible programmatically, but if I want to plug in an optional feature it can be quite tedious to dynamically generate every component being altered. The short period I spent writing a Firefox plug in got me very interested i...
I have an application settings page with a bunch of checkboxes. How should I choose the default checked state of the checkboxes? I see the following options: Always set the default state to unchecked, but this leads to negative statements in the checkbox text (like "Don't automatically show due schedules"), which is sometimes hard to ...
I'm in the process of developling various applications for whom the end users are both engineers and salesman. Some of the operations and options may not be immediately obvious to all users. All applications are delivered with a PDF and paper manual - but of course nobody reads them! I would like to improve the usability of the applicat...
I remember VB5 (and all the horrors in it), but one thing I liked about it was that I could set an index on a control in the properties window in the designer. Are there any way to do something like this in WinForms, the WPF designer or XAML ? ...
Does anyone know if there are any (ideally free) alternatives to SilkTest for automated GUI application testing? [Edit] This is a Windows-only GUI written in C++/CLI if that makes a difference. ...
Hi guys, I work with Visual Studio in my day to day job and I love the productivity features that it has. The Visual designers it provides are wonderful, such as for Winforms, WPF, DataSets, LINQ to SQL, Entity Framework, Class diagrams, etc... I am after a similar development experience for developing in Java. It has been many years...
Can you suggest/reffer to any general design examples for implementing run-time changable themes in a GUI system? This seems to be quite a challenge. However, many GUI systems out there present this kind of functionallity, so there must be general design ideas that could be followed. Just to be 100% clear, design stands for programatic...
I'm searching for compelling git and Mercurial clients on Mac OS X. The most clients I've found so far were less compelling as I expected. Some of the clients are programmed even in ruby or tcl/tk, which IMO aren't good OSX citizens in regard of integration in the OS. I've clients in mind similar to Versions.app or Cornetstone which are...
Hello, I'm new to Java Programming but an experienced C++ programmer. I was learning how to program GUIs using swing. I was wondering how resource intensive (runtime as well as memory) are ActionListeners? Is there a general guideline to the total number of listeners that one should create in a particular program? How many until perfo...
