Re:Removing widgets from VBox.

[Muthiah Annamalai <dearestchum yahoo co in>]

Hello.
Correction to the actual code to remove widgets
from a VBOX.

I wont recommend 'creating' new widgets for the
case of TIME consumption, speed & resources.

However, it might be easy to program... ;-)

This kinda' works.

thread.

The code must read
<CODE>
void box_remove(GtkWidget *btn, GtkBox *box)

{     

     

     /* Remove all widgets in the Box*/      

     GtkWidget *widget=NULL;

     GtkBoxChild *child,*needed_box;

     GList *ptr=box->children;

     int len=g_list_length(box->children);

     int i=0;

     

     g_assert(btn!=NULL && box!=NULL);

     

     gtk_widget_freeze_child_notify (box);

     g_message("Length: %d\n",len);



     if(len <= 1)

            return;

            

     for(i=0;i<len;i++,ptr=ptr->next){

          child=(GtkBoxChild *)ptr->data;

          widget=child->widget;

          if(GTK_IS_LABEL(widget)){

            g_message("Label
{%s}",gtk_label_get_text(widget));

          }

          

           if(widget!=btn && widget!=NULL){

             g_message("Deleting Child:
%s",gtk_widget_get_name(GTK_WIDGET(widget)));         
   

             gtk_widget_unparent(widget);

           }                     

           else{

                needed_box=child;

           }

     }

     gtk_widget_thaw_child_notify (box);

     

     g_list_free(box->children);

     box->children=g_list_alloc();

     box->children->data=needed_box;

     gtk_container_check_resize(GTK_CONTAINER(box));

     len=g_list_length(box->children);

     g_message("New Length: %d\n",len);

     return;

}

</CODE>
