In the GUI I'm developing I'd like to be able to save window information like
size and placement when the user exits the application. I have connected the
top level window to the destroy signal and placed the above mentioned
functionality into the callback so it looks something like this:
void
destroy (gpointer window)
{
// Gracefully exit the program
GET_WINDOW_SIZE(GTK_WIDGET(window), &WIDTH,
&HEIGHT);
GET_PANE_POSITIONS(&V_PANE_POS, &H_PANE_POS);
if(TIMEOUT_ID != -1)
{
g_source_remove(TIMEOUT_ID);
}
SAVE_ARRAY_ENUMS();
STORE_LOG_TO_FILE();
SAVE_PROFILE();
free(GLBL);
free(dhandle);
gtk_main_quit();
}
The problem is that when the user clicks the window manager's close button in
the window decorations, by the time the GET_WINDOW_SIZE() and
GET_PANE_POSITIONS() execute the window seems to have been removed and HEIGHT,
WIDTH, V_PANE_POS and H_PANE_POS return values of 0. This seemed to work well
under GTK 1.2.x but now that I have moved this to GTK 2.6 it stopped behaving
as expected.
I've seen programs that seem to "ignore" the WM close button, is there a way to
do that in GTK? Any examples?
Thanks.
