RE: Window Position

[adriang campbellsoft com]

I'm trying to display a window centered on top of another. If there is no API to
do this directly, I'll need to get the position of the parent window, and the
sizes of both the parent and the child, compute the desired position of the
child and then, yes, gtk_widget_set_uposition works like a charm. My problem is
that if the parent window is not moved on the screen by the user (via mouse),
the position and/or the size are not set. Similarly, the window to be centered,
I find it of having a size of (1,1), which is hardly true as I see on the screen
immediately after I make it visible.

Obviously, I'm either using the wrong API, or picking the wrong moment to use
it, or using it the wrong way, or any combinations of the above, or I'm using
gtk for a purpose it wasn't designed for. Can anybody enlighten me?

thanx
