Re: headers question

[michi7x7 <mailing-lists michi7x7 de>]

Hi,

Usually the needed file is named after the Class
Gtk::Main -> gtkmm/main.h
Gtk::Window --> gtkmm/window.h

This files will include the files with the needed classes
Gtk::Dialog inherits Gtk::Window -> gtkmm/dialog.h includes gtkmm/window.h

If you keep your includes-List up-to-date, it should never result in 
problems, otherwise the compiler will tell you

With regards,
michi
