When subclassing a GtkWidget that *is* a GtkDrawingArea or when subclassing
a GtkWidget that *parents* a GtkDrawingArea ?
GtkDrawingAreaClass has its own implementation of realize, after it has been
realized, the GdkWindow *does* exist.
- If you are writing a widget that *is* a GtkDrawingArea, you dont
need to override
the realize vfunc to get a GdkWindow
- If you are writing a composite widget that parents a
GtkDrawingArea, just make
sure you get the parenting stuff straight. (I.e. you need to implement the
GtkContainer interface properly so that when your widget gets realized, that
realization gets properly propagated to your children).
HTH...
