hide_on_delete

Utility function; intended to be connected to the delete_event signal on a Window.

The function calls hide on its argument, then returns true. If connected to delete_event, the result is that clicking the close button for a window (on the window frame, top right corner usually) will hide but not destroy the window. By default, GTK+ destroys windows when delete_event is received.

Parameters:

this

a Widget

Returns:

true
