How can I use Glade and/or libglade with gtkmm?
gtkmm Frequently Asked QuestionsUse libglademm, which is part of gnomemm and wraps libglade. It allows you to load widget information from the XML user interface description files that Glade generates at runtime. This method is strongly recommended. Experience has shown that it works well for large projects, and there is a lot of example code out there you can look at. For an introduction, see the corresponding chapter in the gtkmm tutorial.
Related QuestionsWhat is Glade?
FAQ: Gtk - MonoGlade is a GUI designer for Gtk+ applications that stores your designs in an XML file (the file name ends in ".glade"). User interfaces created with Glade can are dynamically loaded at runtime using the Glade.XML class.
Related QuestionsWhy use gtkmm instead of GTK+?
gtkmm Frequently Asked Questionsgtkmm allows you to write code using normal C++ techniques such as encapsulation, derivation, and polymorphism. As a C++ programmer you probably already realise that this leads to clearer and better organised code. gtkmm is more type-safe, so the compiler can detect errors that would only be detected at run time when using C. This use of specific types also makes the API clearer because you can see what types should be used just by looking at a method's declaration.
Related QuestionsCan I use C++ exceptions with gtkmm?
gtkmm Frequently Asked QuestionsYes, it is possible but it is not a very good idea. The official answer is that, since plain C doesn't know what a C++ exception is, you can use exceptions in your gtkmm code as long as there are no C functions in your call stack between the thrower and the catcher. This means that you have to catch your exception locally. You will be warned at runtime about uncaught exceptions, and you can specify a different handler for uncaught exceptions.

gtkmm Frequently Asked QuestionsUse Gdk::Pixbuf and/or Gtk::Image. Both are easy to use and support a wide range of image file types via pixbuf loader plugins.
Related QuestionsCan I embed Glade files in my executable?
FAQ: Gtk - MonoYes, just bundle your glade files as resources (using the -resource: option in the compiler) and change your constructor call or use the Glade.XML.FromAssembly () method to create your Glade.XML ui.
Related QuestionsWhat compiler arguments should I use to compile a gtkmm program?
gtkmm Frequently Asked QuestionsYou should use pkg-config's PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro in your configure.in file, as demonstrated in the gtkmm_hello package. Since this is the single most asked question about running GTK+ programs, we'll answer it here, even though it is in the GTK+ FAQ. Make sure the /usr/local/lib (the default install dir for gtkmm) is properly configured in your /etc/ldconf or that it is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Alternatively, specify another prefix when running configure.
Related QuestionsWhy is it named gtkmm?
gtkmm Frequently Asked Questionsgtkmm was orignally named gtk-- because GTK+ already has a + in the name. However, as -- is not easily indexed by search engines the package generally went by the name gtkmm, and that's what we stuck with.

Related QuestionsWhy Not Glade instead of GNUe Forms?
GNU Enterprise GNUe FAQGNUe Forms and Glade are two separate types of tools. Comparing one to the other is, pardon the cliche, like comparing apples to oranges. Glade is a powerful, yet special-purpose, GUI layout application. It is specifically designed to generate GUI layouts for a GTK/GNOME application and is very well suited for such a task. If you are wanting to design a GUI for a non-data-aware app that runs only under Gnome/GTK, then you should look at Glade.
Related QuestionsM: Did you actually shoot the sequence in the glade with the unicorn?
BladeRunner FAQS: Absolutely. It was cut into the picture, and I think it worked wonderfully. Deckard was sitting, playing the piano rather badly because he was drunk, and there's a moment where he gets absorbed and goes off a little at a tangent and we went into the shot of the unicorn plunging out of the forest. It's not subliminal, but it's a brief shot. Cut back to Deckard and there's absolutely no reaction to that, and he just carries on with the scene.
Related QuestionsWhat is gtkmm (Previously known as Gtk--)?
gtkmm Frequently Asked Questionsgtkmm is a C++ wrapper for GTK+. That is, it is a language binding that lets you use GTK+ from C++. This includes support for C++ features such as inheritance, polymorphism and other powerful techniques which C++ programmers expect to have at their disposal.
Related QuestionsHow does gtkmm compare to Qt?
gtkmm Frequently Asked Questionsgtkmm uses std::string, std::list, std::vector, iterators, etc. Qt has it's own Qt-specific containers. With gtkmm normal C++ memory management can be used. Qt demands that all widgets are dealt with as pointers, and that deletion of widgets is surrendered to parent widgets. Arrangement of widgets seems to be simpler in gtkmm. In Qt, Containers and Layouts are separate classes, and child widgets must be added to both. The gtkmm API tends to be more explicit.
Related QuestionsHow can I get the GTK+ object from a gtkmm object?
gtkmm Frequently Asked QuestionsIf you need some GTK+ functionality which is not supported through gtkmm, you can call Gtk::Widget::gobj() (gtkobj() in gtkmm version 1.x) which will return a pointer to the plain C GTK+ data structure. You can then operate directly on this C object as you would in any GTK+ program.
Related QuestionsIs gtkmm thread-safe?
gtkmm Frequently Asked QuestionsNeither X, nor GDK nor GTK+ nor gtkmm are thread safe by themselves. You must use either the gdk_threads_{enter,leave}() functions to protect any and every call to GDK/GTK+/gtkmm functions, or alternatively, ensure that only a single thread makes such calls. One common way to do this is to have non-GUI threads send requests to the GUI thread via a pipe. The pipe is hooked into the main glib event loop used by GTK.
