Docs + topping a window

[Peter Rottengatter <peter rottengatter de>]

Hi

I haven't used GTK for long, but I find it very tiring to look for docs 
on a specific subject. As an example, I'm looking for a way to make some
window that might have been covered by other windows (of my application)
to become the topmost again.

I've checked the header files, but they are not very explicit about the 
purpose of the API routines, as one might expect. I've checked the
"reference" set of HTML files that can be found at gtk.org, but in most
places they are little more that the header files nicely formatted. Then
I also check the tutorial (also at gtk.org), however it only covers the 
most basic stuff. The FAQ covers some very special stuff, but it's not 
comprehensive of course. Aren't there any other docs ?

Another thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to set an optionmenu
to a specific entry (that's already in the menu). For instance, I want the
optionmenu button to show the entry no.3. Do I need to read out the menu
entry text no.3, and
a) set the button text using gtk_label_set_text (How do I obtain the 
   GtkLabel *label ?)
b) set the menu using gtk_menu_set_active ?
Or is there a simpler solution ?


Cheers  Peter
