I am just preparing a listview example for the Nim GTK3 mini tutorial. I followed the Z-Code C example. Was not too difficult. But I got one problem: For working with listviews, we have to provide GTypes, which are numerical values. For C we have the macros like G_TYPE_STRING which for my box gives currently value 64. These values seems to be not directly supported by gobject-introspection. Seems to be no big problem, we may query the values by g-type-from-name(). https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-from-name For G_TYPE_STRING I assumed that name is "GSTRING" which gives indeed a non zero result from g-type-from-name(). But it is wrong. We can get the correct name by using g_type_name(G_TYPE_STRING). This gives "gchararray". And indeed, when I provide this name to g-type-from-name() then the Nim example works fine. But where should high level users find the corresponding G_TYPE names or values? Or is there another way to get G_TYPE values? I assume a static list of integers would not make much sense? Maybe you know how this is done in other languages with GTK bindings. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
