How to get the gtk window size?

[doyle]

OK, I give up! I'm using a gtk_vpaned_new and want to be able to get/set the position of the splitter. I need to know the current window size for this to work, so... how do I do this?

Believe me, I've tried. I can get the screen and the default size but I need to be able to get the size when/if the user changes it. I even tried the "frame-event" signal but I don't know how to do this in BaCON it seems.

Hints, tips, code, etc. appreciated.

Thanks
Doyle

Try using "expose-event", and in your callback access the widget->allocation.width and widget->allocation.height fields of the GtkWidget structure....

Doyle,

You can use gtk_window_get_size for that.

Make sure the arguments provide the address of the variables.

Some code to help you:


DECLARE xs, ys

IMPORT "gtk_init(int*,void*)" FROM lib_Gtk$ TYPE void
IMPORT "gtk_window_get_size(long,long,long)" FROM lib_Gtk$ TYPE void
IMPORT "gtk_window_new(int)" FROM lib_Gtk$ TYPE long

gtk_init(0, 0)
win = gtk_window_new(0)

[.....more code.....]

gtk_window_get_size(win, ADDRESS(xs), ADDRESS(ys))

PRINT xs
PRINT ys
