WTF is gtk_label_set_uline_text_internal? -Andrei On Sep 5, 2005, at 7:38 PM, Steph wrote:

I finally got GTK+ source to download (definitely bedtime now). Just say 'no' to dialup, kids... If use_underline is true and there's no mnemonic value set, gtk_label_set_uline_text_internal() simply returns GDK_VoidSymbol as the accelerator key. The mnemonic widget by default is the parent widget, i.e. the button or menu item containing the label. However if the label itself can't find an 'activatable ancestor' to use as a target, you get a warning beep and a bit of barfing. So it's not a good idea to have use_underline = 1 indiscriminately in things like set_text() or even in gtklabel (because it would generally find its ancestral gtkwindow, which might make for confusion, and because labels in gtknotebook would act completely differently from everywhere else), but it _is_ a good idea to apply it with discrimination, in the places where people are likely to want to use it more often than they are likely to want to escape it. So can I make that small change in the button and menuitem constructors and make PHP-GTK a tad easier to use, please? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steph" <steph@zend.com> To: "Andrei" <andrei@gravitonic.com> Cc: "PHP-GTK dev" <php-gtk-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 6:43 PM Subject: Fw: [PHP-GTK-DEV] messy hack

OK, I looked again now and discovered the second parameter in gtk_button_new. I think what I'm asking, then, is whether that second parameter couldn't

be

made a more intuitive '1' by default, i.e. it's switch-off-able but is generally 'just there' in things like menu items, labels and buttons using the text parameter, and probably also in set_text(). I'm having trouble getting access to the C source for gtk+/win32 at

present,

so I've no idea whether that's going to render those widgets unstable. It _appears_ to work without problems here for GtkButton and GtkLabel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steph" <steph@zend.com> To: "PHP-GTK dev" <php-gtk-dev@lists.php.net> Cc: "Andrei" <andrei@gravitonic.com> Sent: Sunday, September 04, 2005 4:18 PM Subject: [PHP-GTK-DEV] messy hack

<?php $window = new GtkWindow('Testing stuff'); $window->connect_object('destroy', array('gtk', 'main_quit')); $button = new GtkButton(''); $label = $button->child; $label->set_text_with_mnemonic('_Suck it and see'); $window->add($button); $window->show_all(); gtk::main(); ?> It took a while to understand why use_underline is TRUE by default, but

it

has to be better than working around it in userland. I think I can probably tackle those outstanding 'mnemonic' calls with my copy/paste skills, there are a few incidences of it already in the

source.

Do you have any strong feelings about that approach, Andrei? - Steph --PHP-GTK Development Mailing List (http://gtk.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
