What would be the "best" way to code a GTK2 app to read in the filenames of some .jpg images from a hard coded directory path, display those filenames in a list, default to displaying the first image, and display the name in a label below the image. I would like to have it where clicking on another filename in the list would update both the image and its label with that newly selected file.
I am new to GTK and am totally new to writing code which deals with images, so please excuse my ignorance! I have worked my way through the GTK2 tutorial but am currently stumped with several concepts, so I have combined these areas of confusion into this single concept example. I am currently trying to implement the above example using: a listbox (I'm trying to use GtkTreeView + gtk_list_store_append) an image (I'm trying to use GTK_TYPE_IMAGE), and a label (GtkLabel.... although Pango seems like vast overkill) maybe a "quit" button for a graceful exit What is the "best" way to dynamically update the image and label? Is there a secret to making the listbox work without mountains of code? (ie, am I on the right track with GtkListStore+GtkTreeView?) These are all areas that have me stumped at the moment as I'm trying to move beyond the initial tutorials. Perhaps there is some additional sample code I should look at too see how this could be implemented? I am interested in seeing how this could "best" be done, not my current broken mess. Thank you for the help and for your collective patience for a beginner like me, Dave H. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
