window handling and signals in GTK

ronald-be · 05-20-2007, 06:52 AM

Hello,

Just started to learn GTK. When I want several windows in a program, can I define which is parent and which is child and how to do? How do I delete the subsequent windows? Do I need g_signal_connect to free the memory they used and which function do I need to connect to? When I connect the main window to gtk_main_quit, bypassing delete_event and without returning FALSE is the memory it used also freed or not (the function delete_event calls gtk_main_quit and then returns FALSE) ?

greetings,

Ronald

When creating them. In gtkmm (GTK in C++) you pass it in a constructor.

If I remember correctly, it's automatic.

You may do it this way, but it's not necessary (IMO).
