Actually, I am not interested in the underlying technology at all. What I am interested in is: When you write a signal/event driven program or a widget or whatever, how do you figure out what signals to send out, so other people can actually do something useful with it? It's a purely theoretical software engineering question. So far I have been adding events to my application whenever I needed them myself, but I would like to have a nice, complete set of events so other people can do useful things with them too. I had hoped that the GTK community, having built so many widget and event driven applications, would have some kind of guidelines, theory, policy or just general good advice on that. -- Sander Marechal _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
