Hi Ron, > However, further experimentation has shown that $window->set_uposition(1, 1) > works a lot better for some reason. Any guesses as to why? Might be something do with the "decoration" of the window. The border might be 1pixel thick! Of course, this is only a guess... > And please don't tell me set_uposition() is going to be deprecated in the > next release. :-) Too bad, but it is. But there's sure to be a (better) alternate, else they wouldn't do it! > I was trying to create a list of items to attach to the combobox, but I'm > stumped. There doesn't seem to be an attach_list() method or a Yeah, PHP-Gtk2 is in progress, the docs are bound to be skimpy, but we're working on it! Meanwhile, you could always refer the Gtk2.6 docs at gtk.org; just convert the C-ish style of their code to a more PHP-OOP style, and you should be fine. If you want just plain text entries; you shouldn't have any difficulty, just use the convenience function: append_text() on a GtkComboBox::new_text(). Of course, if you want a "tree" view, then you'll have to use the model, and it gets messy. > I'm using the one Christian included with Gnope 1.0. That should be new > enough, eh?

My head is > spinning! Arg! >:o All images have to converted to the XPM format before you use them. Again, to see what's been deprecated, atleast for now, you can refer to the original Gtk manual. Also, Christian has an interesting utility called the PHP-Gtk2 Inspector. It tells you what functions/classes you can use and what their parameters are. You can get at the "channel" section of gnope.org; it's called Dev_Inspector. > And that being said, it's not completely important, just a lark. This > application is a simulation of a corkboard.

It would be cool, but as what you want requires a little effort (IMO!), you might just do better without it! Cheers! -- Anant Narayanan ------------------------- Find Freedom! http://www.kix.in/
