Re: Lighted Indicator

["John Hobbs" <john velvetcache org>]

Here's an example solution of what I think you want. Again, it may not
be the best, but it works.

#include <gtkmm.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

        Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
        Gtk::Window window;
        Gtk::EventBox evbox;
        Gtk::HBox hbox;
        Gtk::Label label ("Test");
        Gtk::Button button;

        evbox.modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, Gdk::Color("#FF0000"));
        evbox.modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_ACTIVE, Gdk::Color("#FF0000"));
        evbox.modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_PRELIGHT, Gdk::Color("#FF0000"));
        evbox.set_size_request(15);

        hbox.pack_start(evbox,false,false,3);
        hbox.pack_start(label,false,false,3);

        button.add(hbox);

        window.add(button);
        window.show_all();

        Gtk::Main::run(window);
        return 0;
}


BTW, always send to the list :-)
