Why waste the CPU cycles recursively flying down the widget tree when all you need to do is hide the container? hide() the container (window) and show() the container, children will still be there unaffected. The very first time you create a window is really the only time you need show_all() for this kind of thing. - bob.

Hi bob, I think your totally right, in theory at least. I don't precisely rember but i had to use show_all() in order to get some widget to correctly refresh in the past ( there's a chance that was with phpGtk1). So i think that the best would be to try show/hide first and use show_all() only when show isn't sufficient. Thanks to point this out. regards, nathan
