Does Gtkmm/Gdkmm offer a nice and simple way to find out if a widget or window is actually visible to the user, i.e. is mapped *and not obscured by another window*? I mean, .e.g Gdk::Window::is_viewable () and Gdk::Window::is_visible ()/Gtk::Widget::is_visible() will answer only first half of that question, I believe, i.e. they will tell me whether the window/widget is mapped, but not check if it is covered by something else. - Toralf _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
Hi,I am not sure if it about GTKmm at all. The system manages windows that represent a space for different applications. Each application can be written using it's own GUI framework: GTKmm, Qt, Tkinter, and so on. Thus maybe your question should be addressed to a "guy" that is responsible for sending a sort of "REDRAW_WINDOW" signal whenever it is needed and a part of window becomes visible. I guess that should be some kind of System GUI Manager that is definitely different in Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, etc. Therefor the "guy" you are looking is System.
