Thanks guys, that worked a treat!
I had to make the parent window a static global so that the following code could function properly:
static void about(GtkWidget *w, gpointer data) { gint x, y, pwidth, pheight, width, height; GtkWidget *dialog, *label, *button;
dialog = gtk_dialog_new(); gtk_window_set_modal(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), TRUE); gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), GTK_WINDOW(w)); gtk_window_set_keep_above(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), TRUE);
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
label = gtk_label_new(ABOUT);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(GTK_DIALOG(dialog)->vbox), label, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
gtk_widget_show(label);
button = gtk_button_new_with_label("OK");
gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(button), "clicked", GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(dismiss), dialog);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(GTK_DIALOG(dialog)->action_area), button, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
gtk_widget_show(button);
gtk_window_get_position(GTK_WINDOW(window), &x, &y); gtk_window_get_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), &pwidth, &pheight); gtk_window_get_size(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), &width, &height);
#ifdef DEBUG
printf("Parent position: %d, %d\n", x, y);
printf("Parent size: %d, %d\nDialog size: %d, %d\n", pwidth, pheight, width, height);
#endif /* DEBUG */
x = (pwidth - width) / 2 + x; y = (pheight - height) / 2 + y;
gtk_window_move(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), x, y); gtk_widget_show(dialog); }
Is there a better way to actually get the parent window parameters without having to resort to a global GtkWindow variable?
Cheers, Alex.
You could always use GObject properties. So, when your app starts up g_object_set_data( G_OBJECT( mydialogwidget ), "parent", parentwidget );
then in your dialog code to get the parent window
GtkWidget *parentwidget = (GtkWidget*)g_object_get_data( G_OBJECT( mydialogwidget ), "parent" );
