GnomeDateEdit has been deprecated for the best part of the past 5 years, and the entire libgnomeui library has been deprecated long before GTK+ 3.0 was even released. we have moved many widgets from libgnomeui to GTK+ itself, but the DateEdit widget has never been deemed useful, or even used enough to warrant its inclusion in the toolkit. to be fair, I think every application exposing a date uses its own widget, and not two date selection widgets look alike. I would not recommend anybody to copy the approach or API used by the GnomeDateEdit widget either — they are both quite frankly terrible. we have better date/time structures in GLib, and better base widgets in GTK+, these days, so it should really not be an issue. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
