Hi.
I'm planning to write a powerful GTK widget for
browsing files in a standard way. (With icons view, small icons view, list view,
drag n drop, rubberbanding, etc.) That widget could be used in file managers, cd
writing apps, playlist editors, or even in GTK open/save dialogs.
I looked at how scrolled widgets work and i'm a
bit confused. The viewport widget simply move its children window when adjusment
messages are received. But I think that it is not very efficient to allocate a
big X window for something like a list or tree widget, etc. Therefore, it seems
that the CList widget handle the adjustment values itself and does the scrolling
with XCopyArea and such.
The problem is that i can't figure out how the
communication between the CList widget and the viewport widget is
done.
Can you help me with that?
Thanks.
