Re: Gtk_MessageBox

I don't have GTK 2 source handy on this box - check it, I'm 99.99% certain there's a widget in there for this... Just don't want to see you spending time on a PEAR project that's only valid for PHP-GTK 1 and then releasing it the same week Andrei releases PHP-GTK 2, y'know? - Steph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Weiske" <cweiske@cweiske.de> To: "PHP-GTK Dev list" <php-gtk-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 11:39 PM Subject: [PHP-GTK-DEV] Gtk_MessageBox > Hi > > Some might know that there are several MessageBox classes for php-gtk > flouncing around the web.
