Window


Description:

[ CCode ( has_construct_function = false , type = "GtkWidget*" ) ]
public Window (WindowType type = TOPLEVEL)

Creates a new Window, which is a toplevel window that can contain other widgets.

Nearly always, the type of the window should be TOPLEVEL. If you’re implementing something like a popup menu from scratch (which is a bad idea, just use Menu), you might use POPUP. POPUP is not for dialogs, though in some other toolkits dialogs are called “popups”. In GTK+, POPUP means a pop-up menu or pop-up tooltip. On X11, popup windows are not controlled by the window manager.

If you simply want an undecorated window (no window borders), use set_decorated, don’t use POPUP.

All top-level windows created by Window are stored in an internal top-level window list. This list can be obtained from list_toplevels. Due to Gtk+ keeping a reference to the window internally, Window does not return a reference to the caller.

To delete a Window, call destroy.

Parameters:

type

type of window

Returns:

a new Window.
