I'm hoping to use a tree store/view to create a layer typer system where the higher up the tree an object is, the closer to the front of the screen an object would be. Imagine the layers in Photoshop or GIMP for an idea what I mean. Is there any way I can get that kind of information from the widget? I'm using C++ if it makes any difference to the answer. So to recap I'd like to get a value that says: +parent +-+sub menu +-+-sub menu 2 <-This menu is higher up... +-+-sub menu 3 <-..than this menu Thanks Dave _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
