1. [LIN] eugtk windows with min/max buttons
hi,
How I create a window with min/max buttons?
and same thing for the sticky button...
How do I add hot keys to menus, with underscores in the labels for them?
TIA
Chris

Hi Chris:
I haven't a clue. They are there when I write programs using Glade and
C, and I can't figure out how to turn them off, in that case.

I could be entirely off base here, since I don't have my X Window book
handy, but I'm under the impression that controls are supplied by the window
manager, not the application. In the X Window system, it's up to the
application to supply the client area, and the window manager to handle the
window. If you asked for a managed window, you would get whatever window
widgets the current window manager offers. Not all window managers - or even
styles - offer the same set of controls.
To get a menu, 'splash' screen (with no controls) or something like that,
you ask for an unmanaged window, and it's up to your application to write
the window controls (if any).
I could be entirely mistaken.

I think your probably right, but how do I specify that? I've looked at the
Examples that come with the libgtk, and I don't notice anything that might
be of relevance. Would it be a gtk call?

I think, in just this one case, you may be ;)
I tried writing a simple program to open a window in C, the window has
all the controls Chris mentioned. The same code in Euphoria produces
a window with only the [-] icon (close,minimize, move....) top left, and the
[X] close icon top right.
Since the code is identical, and both are running on KDE, there must be
some problem in the Euphoria wrapper, but I don't know what.
The call is exactly the same.
Maybe some shared file is not getting loaded?
