It should not matter its a backend bug IMHO. I tried both routes with this test program on the directfb backend and they both worked for me. I think the second approach is cleaner code.
#include <gtk/gtk.h> int main( int argc, char **argv ) { GtkWidget *button; GtkWidget *frame; GtkWidget *box; GtkWidget *window; gtk_init(&argc,&argv); window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Hello world!"); frame = gtk_frame_new("blah blah"); #if 0 gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (frame), button); box = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 5); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), frame, FALSE, FALSE, 5); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), box); #else box = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 5); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), box); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), frame, FALSE, FALSE, 5); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (frame), button); #endif gtk_widget_show_all (window); gtk_main (); } On 7/29/05, Attilio Fiandrotti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi everyone > > we're trying to port the debian-installer gtk frontend from X to Direct > Frame Buffer: in the debian-installer gtk frontend code sequences of > instructions like this are often used > > > button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Hello world!"); > frame = gtk_frame_new("blah blah"); > gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (frame), button); > box = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 5); > gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), frame, FALSE, FALSE, 5); > gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), box); > gtk_widget_show_all (window); > gtk_main (); > > is this sequence correct? > If the same actions would be performed in this order > > button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Hello world!"); > frame = gtk_frame_new("blah blah"); > box = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 5); > gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), box); > gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), frame, FALSE, FALSE, 5); > gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (frame), button); > gtk_widget_show_all (window); > gtk_main (); > > would this piece of code still be correct? > > I've noticed that under X both sequences work correctly, in a DFB > environement, instead, the second one produces crashes (but DFB is still > buggy, so maybe this doesn't means a thing..) > thanks > > attilio > _______________________________________________ > gtk-devel-list mailing list > gtk-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list > _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
