Hello Lirm, > Checking Christian's demos installed with gnope, I saw that in trees and lists > (Demo list and StockItemBrowserDemo list), if I start typing, a small window > appears with the typed characters, like I am editing the cell. That is the search-as-you-type functionality of Gtk2 lists. That's delivered automatically with each GtkTreeView and one has to do nothing to support it. It's just meant as a way to search fast through a list or tree, not to edit it. > If this is the way to edit list cells (I noticed that even in toggle cells > happens the same) allow me to say that this is not a convenient way for end > users. I've not looked at this yet, but I will do so. > It is strange for many application-end-users that every window is a separate > task, even a message dialog window. Many of them will be confused. That's your setting: You may set the window type hint which is currently not documented in the php-gtk2 docs, but there: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Windows.html#GdkWindowTypeHint If you use set_type_hint on the window, you can tell that it is a child or a tool window of the given parent (if the parent window is set!) and no two entries in the task bar will appear. > And finally a question, is there a way not to deploy readable code to clients > pcs? You have to use a bytecode compiler such as bcompiler - but IMO they work on Windows only. -- Regards/MfG, Christian Weiske
