Well, VCL (Borland Visual Library) has ShowMessage() and InputMessage(). =
C# in
Windows.Forms has MessageBox.Show() as an static method.

Convenience functions are there just because you want to make the life of=
 your
users [programmers] easier. Mmmm ... isn't the purpose of Gtkmm to make t=
he
life of Gtk+ users easier ?

Maybe you tought: "these are functions with two or three lines of code". =
Well
... that's true. However, creating those lines made me browse _a_lot_ of
documentation.

Whatever you like. I simply was asked to present these functions here bec=
ause
they were supposed to be of general interest. As I said in the gtkmm list=
, they
are so useful that everybody will end with their own implementation ... e=
xactly
as happened with C++ string class.

------- Comment #2 from jonner  2006-01-31 19:05 UTC -------
I actually kind of like the idea of a convenience wrapper in this case.  =
Thanks
for starting the discussion.  A couple of initial thoughts on the
implementation:

- At first glance, the name ListBox made me think that it was related to
ComboBox -- this should probably be renamed to ListView or something like=
 that
if we include it in gtkmm

- It should probably inherit from TreeView instead of creating a new clas=
s that
contains a TreeView.  That way we would retain the benefits of polymorphi=
sm.=20
As it is now, it's not a member of the Gtk::Widget heirarchy, so it could=
n't be
added directly to a container widget.  You'd have to use an ugly hack lik=
e
myContainer.add(*(myListBox.get_treeView()));

- Another impact of not using inheritance is that there's no easy way to =
access
the signals / events of the widget without calling get_treeView() and the=
n
using the TreeView interface.  I assume that even if people wanted a simp=
ler
interface for simple use-cases, they'd still need to attach to signals, s=
o
obscuring this interface doesn't seem like a good idea (yes, this is dire=
ctly
related to the previous point, but I thought I'd mention it explicitly).

- There is already a specialization like this for ComboBox called ComboBo=
xText=20
(http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1Comb=
oBoxText.html).
 It would be nice if the interface for this specialization could match th=
at as
closely as possible (The only real difference between them seems to be th=
at
with the ListView/ListBox you can have a multiple-selection widget wherea=
s the
ComboBox can only have single-selection).

- put_row() seems to be misnamed.  To me it looks more like it should be =
called
set_row().  Both put_row() and get_row() could be implemented with operat=
or[]()
as well.  Also note that ComboBoxText does not provide either of these
convenience functions.

- the function get_rows_number() should probably be called something like
size() instead to make it more consistent with similar existing interface=
s in
gtkmm and the standard library
