Hi All, Is it possible to use classes and objects while using gtk2/3? I noticed that only functions are used and that class use is ovoided by prepending functions with a group string. As far as I know, C can still use structs that are attached to a set of data and a set of functions, but without i

Yes, of course, C structures can be declared that way, but the fact remains that the contents of the ancestor's structure are not merged into the heir. This means, to access a member N ancestors deep, one has to specify all of them in the correct order. The purpose of inheritance is to avoid this r

Hi, Font size depends on your pixels per inch setting. If your screen resolution is very high fonts can also appear smaller than intended. Please reply giving me your screen resolution and your estimate of font size in millimetres. I will try to devise a way to tell the GUI frontend to use a diff

Hi Aitor et al, Thinking a little bit about C, and recalling what Reiner explained earlier, I should think, we can create our own C library to handle lists as in classes without actually importing more dependencies: for that we use a struct that has function members, just like a class. Our impleme
