Re: make popup draggable

Cheers James, what I was basically looking for was a 'chromeless' effect without the border and normal buttons that both GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG and GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL seem to give me on win32, the POPUP gives me a groovy looking window, especially with 0 border anf the right background pixmap. but its nice to know what can and can not be done - saves me hours of head-scratching :) Regards, Simon Wheeler firepages ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Cameron" <quozl@us.netrek.org> To: "firepages.com.au" <fire@firepages.com.au> Cc: "PHP-GTK" <php-gtk-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2002 7:25 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-GTK] make popup draggable > On Sat, Apr 06, 2002 at 09:41:57PM -0800, firepages.com.au wrote: > > Hi, can anyone give me some pointers on how to make a GTK_WINDOW_POPUP > > window draggable ?
