Hi List!
When looking at the files in the gtk dir, you'll very often find
something like this:
label = gtk_label_new("hello");
gtk_widget_show(label);
frame = gtk_frame_new();
gtk_widget_show(frame);
...
with several appearances of the gtk_widget_show() call.
Is there any reason against using the gtk_widget_show_all() function at
the end of the window/dialog generation?
This will show the widget in question and all it's child widgets with
one call and is available for both GTK versions 1 and 2 :-)
Of course, there are some specials, e.g. where some of the widgets are
not shown, this has to be handled differently,
but that's really an exception and not the usual case (and usually bad
GUI design too).
Using gtk_widget_show_all() will remove a *lot* of the gtk_widget_show()
codelines, without changing anything in the behaviour of the code
and it might even be a bit faster :-)
Regards, ULFL
