Re: [gtk-list] drawing and previews

[robert_gasch peoplesoft com]

While I'm not sure what your actual problem is, I can offer 2
pieces of code which manage to do this (and some more)
successfully:

     Gimp: about.c (Gtk+)
     Terraform: GuiDialogAbout (Gtk-- (C++) code, adapted from about.c)

Maybe these can help you figure our what you're missing ... I remember a
similar problem in my own code was related (I think) to the fact the my
event handlers were connected only after the 1st expose event was
generated ...

Hope this helps ...

Subject:  [gtk-list] drawing and previews



I'm still struggling with the same thing, but now I've got more info.

I'm trying to draw in a preview. The reason why I'm doing this is because
I want a nice background. (Perhaps I should draw the background myself and
that's what I'll do if I don't find a solution to this...)

Anyway, I draw on "expose" and none of what I draw shows when the window
first comes up. On subsequent expose, stuff does show.

However, if the preview is empty (i.e. I never drew a row in it)
everything shows beautifully. (That's the new thing I figured out...)

What's going on here and how do I solve it?!

Thanks a lot!

Pavel

PS: Is abandoning the preview and drawing in stuff from scratch a better
idea anyway?
