Hello all you brilliant minds, I have 2 questions I'm trying to figure out... 1. If libgnome creates the widgets at runtime, what about widgets you may not want created? For example, if I were to create an about dialog in Glade, does memory get allocated for it when my program starts? What if a user never opens the about dialog. Would that not be a waste of resources? 2. With GTK+ 2.6's , if I were to have the following code to create the about dialog GtkWidget *aboutWindow; aboutWindow = g_object_new(GTK_TYPE_ABOUT_DIALOG, "name", "gPICprog", "version", "0.1", "copyright", "(C) 2005 - Micah Carrick", "comments", N_("A Gnome PIC Programmer GUI"), "authors", authors, "documenters", documenters, "translator-credits", _("translator-credits"), "logo", logo, "website", "http://www.micahcarrick.com", "website-label", "www.MicahCarrick.com", NULL); gtk_widget_show_all(aboutWindow); _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
