I've seen in the Mup::ColorButton example that an event is used to set the button color for the first time. I tried something similar but without success.The problem is, that Gnome2::Canvas::Shape is NOT a Gtk2::Widget, so it does not have realize nor map signals. The SET_PROPERTY approach should be better and has the added benefit that the shape is reset when the properties are changed later.Thanks, Jan, for the suggestion. I've modified the SET_PROPERTY as you suggested and still no rounded rectangle.
Hm, strange. But I have only ever used this with Gtk2::Widget objects, so there may be another gotcha in Gnome2::Canvas::Item, which is not a widget.
I've written a similar program using composition rather than inheritance and I get a rounded rectangle. I'd use this rectangle except that I am unable to set the 'fill-color', and I get events only when the mouse is placed directly on the outline. No signals when the mouse is moved inside the rounded rectangle. Is this the correct behavior of the Gnome2::Canvas::Shape ? If so, I shall have to come up with a "plan b".
Gnome2::Canvas::Rect->isa('Gnome2::Canvas::Shape'), so shape must provide
enough base functionality for it. So though I don't know for sure, I'd think
it's not correct.
I suggest you take sources of the gnome canvas library itself (not the
bindings, the actual C library) and have a look at GnomeCanvasRect, how it
sets the shape.
By the way, you should be able to inherit GnomeCanvasRE, which comes with the
x1, y1, x2, y2 properties built in (and probably nothing else).
