Re: HSeparator doesn't show

[jody <jody xha gmail com>]

Thanks
this
  m_VBox1.pack_start(manage(new Gtk::HSeparator()), Gtk::PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET);
didn't work:

xbvd.cpp: In constructor 'xbvd::xbvd(xbv*)':
xbvd.cpp:208: error: no matching function for call to
'Gtk::VBox::pack_start(Gtk::HSeparator*, Gtk::PackOptions)'
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/box.h:330: note: candidates are: void
Gtk::Box::pack_start(Gtk::Widget&, bool, bool, guint)
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/box.h:337: note:                 void
Gtk::Box::pack_start(Gtk::Widget&, Gtk::PackOptions, guint)

but by dereferencing the output of manage i got it wirking

  m_VBox1.pack_start(*manage(new Gtk::HSeparator()), Gtk::PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET);

Thanks again!
 Jody
