Re: Getting the SimpleTextEditor to work

$start = new GtkTextIter (); ... $text = $this->textbuf->get_text ($start, $end, true); where it seems $start and $end need to be GtkTextIter's. But, it won't allow me to instantiate these! I get "PHP Fatal error: Class GtkTextIter cannot be instantiated directly ...". I had previously tried to put NIL for the first two args to get_text but it insisted these args had to be of class GtkTextIter. Can someone suggest what I should try next or point me at some docs - I haven't been able to find very much.

You can't instantiate the iters you have to get them from the buffer. Try $buffer->get_start_iter() (or it might be get_iter_start() I don't remember off the top of my head). You can get the end iter with a similar method. -- Scott Mattocks http://www.crisscott.com
