Hello,
I would like to overlap two Gtk widgets, but I can't
find any suitable container.
An idea ?
Have you looked at the GtkLayout?
Someone mentioned GnomeCanvas; I haven't ever used the canvas so I dont know
specificly about the canvas but GtkLayout does not have any support for
z-ordering.
From what I understand though: "widgets do not overlap in GTK+... period."
Few specifics I can think of off-hand that would make it difficult to
overlap widgets:
o GTK+ double-buffering mechanism would need to be adjusted probably
for cases
where both overlapping widgets are GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets
o Expose events would have to be handled by both child windows...
also for GTK_NO_WINDOW
widgets.
o The z-order of platform specific GdkWindow backends would have to
be handled so
that events are always delivered to the correct widget.
Cheers,
-Tristan
