Hi,
I'm writing a sort of custom defined widget, which consists of several
standard widgets.
It is derived from Gtk::Frame and has a Gtk::VBox . In the VBox I placed
some buttons, labels and a drawing area. So far everything works quit well.
For purposes like raising and moving this widget, I thought it was better to
give the widget a Gdk:: window and I added this in the on_realize() method
of this widget.
This is a totally broken design.
Inherit from DrawingArea or EventBox if you want the widget to have
its own window. Pack whatever else you want into the EventBox if you
need other items in there.
Thanks for the idea. Now I based my widget on an eventbox and it does
what I hoped for
