Re: How would I use casting ?

Hi Sven,

Now I want to use gdk_window_process_updates
so I think use of gtk_widget_realize
is mandatory as I couldnt find equivalent API in GTK.
Could you suggest me right way if you
think using gtk_widget_realize
API is not a good idea ?

Thanks and regards,
Dipak G Patil.

Whenever you need to call gtk_widget_realize() you are most probably
doing something wrong. Well, not necessarily wrong, but certainly not
the best way. In this particular example it is not necessary to access
the GDK window since there is gtk_window_maximize() which will take
care of doing the right thing.
