It looks like you have not found the gtkmm
tutorial, Programming with gtkmm 3, at Kjell Hi Gtkmm Mailing List, I am new to gtkmm. My goal is to build and understand a really basic text editor and expand on that later. I am unable to locate either a tutorial or a program with source code that uses gtkmm to implement a really basic text editor and only a really basic text editor. I am aware of libgtkmm-3.0-doc/examples/gtk-demo but it would need major re-engineering to become a simple text editor and nothing else. I have found an excellent-looking resource in the GTK+ 3 "Reference Manual" in the chapter "Building Applications", at https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ch01s04.html I have set myself up to translate the above GTK+ 3 tutorial into gtkmm. Has someone done the proposed translation already? To find out, I search for the literal occurrence of a term in the source doc: - "If the application uses GSettings, it will install its schema" I get this fascinating result: : Building applications: GTK+ 4 Reference Manual : Building applications. An application consists of a number of files: The binary. ... If the application uses GSettings, it will install its schema in /usr/share/glib-2./schemas, so that tools like dconf-editor can find it. Other ... : developer.gnome.org/gtk4/stable/ch01s04.html : Building Vala applications - aztlan.fciencias.unam.mx : Building Vala applications. ... If the application uses GSettings, it will install its schema in /usr/share/glib-2./schemas, so that tools like dconf-editor can find it. Other resources. Other files, such as GtkBuilder ui files, ... : aztlan.fciencias.unam.mx/~canek/building-vala-applications/ The aztlan Vala link above is exactly what it seems: a thorough and literal translation of the C language tutorial into Vala language. Now, is it true that no one has done this for gtkmm yet? Due diligence: in addition to the search above, I read the FAQ, searched this list archive, and I looked at the gtkmm wiki and did not find anything like the C language tutorial for gtkmm. It seems like it behooves us to get this together, so that we can stand up with Vala as first class GTK+ 3 citizens, and just as someone did with gtk-demo in the past. Group, please advise. If it has not been done, I will undertake it and publish the result. many thanks, James P. |
