Hi,
2 weeks ago I wrote a mail about custom widgets, but till now nobody reacted
on it , so I try again
I want to make a custom widget which has several standard widgets as
child, like butoons labels, etc. First I did it on the standard way,
deribing from a Gtk:;Frame and adding the widgets to the frame and that is
working pretty well. But I wnat to give the user the abillity to move the
set of widgets around and I got the Idea to give the widget its own
Gdk::Window
you need a Canvas widget, and specifically one that supports embedded widgets.
there are no good choices. this page provides an overview:

don't try to do this yourself.
Thanks for the idea. Now I based my widget on an eventbox and it does
what I hoped for.
