I have been attempting to create an app using C in Code::Blocks on Win7.
Can anyone please point me to a better documentation then the gnome site? Or failing that, can someone point me to a place I can see which signals are allowed for which widgets?
I recently wrote an app using Python and found TKinter to be very good, and every time I searched Google for help on TKinter the documentation was easy to read and understandable.
The gnome GTK documentation, however, is really bad. Yes, it does describe each function, but doesn't lead you to the other parts needed to get a full understanding of the function.
They go into great detail in some cases, actually including an entire program as an example (without comments in the code I might add,) totally obscuring the forest trying to describe the tree.
I don't want to get too bogged down in a detail of my problem now, but this is an example of my frustration.
Specifically, I am attaching a signal to an entry widget, and I can find the g_signal_connect declaration that gives the parameters needed, like the instance, the_signal, the handler and such, but nowhere does it say WHICH signals can be used.
I guess it is because each widget may use a different subset of signals for the signal, but, to date. I have not found even a list of signals available let alone which ones can be used on which widgets.
I can find the gtk_entry_new() definition, but again, that description doesn't give a list of allowable signals. Just how to call it.
I saw an example that uses the "insert_text" signal, but that isn't really right, another site says there is an "activate" signal, but that only works if the user presses enter, not if the user clicks elsewhere in the window.
Any help is appreciated.
Mark.
