How do I output installation status using gtk in c? - windows

int main( int argc,
char *argv[] )
{
GtkWidget *window;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_widget_show (window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
The above is just a empty winform,I want to output dynamic information in it(not editable),
how should I do that?

You need a GtkTextView which you can set to be not editable. I suggest you look at this excellent GTK tutorial which explains what widgets are available in GTK and how to put them together, accompanied by lots of example code.

gtk glade need help

I am using glade to make an user interface.
i have successfully generated the glade file
Now i have to include this file in my C code.
I am using following code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<gtk/gtk.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *builder,*window,*button;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
builder=gtk_builder_new();
gtk_builder_add_from_file(builder,"shiv.glade",NULL);
window=GTK_WIDGET (gtk_builder_get_object(builder,"window1")) ;
button=GTK_WIDGET (gtk_builder_get_object(builder,"button1"));
g_object_unref(G_OBJECT(builder));
gtk_widget_show(button);
gtk_widget_show(window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
My UI is a simple window having a button without any callback function.
I am getting following errors on execution
GTK-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_show assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET(widget)' failed
Change:
GtkWidget *builder,*window,*button;
with:
GtkWidget *window,*button;
GtkBuilder *builder;
this should fix.
Example:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
static void
close_window ( GtkWidget *widget, gpointer window)
{
printf("application close...\n");
gtk_widget_destroy((GtkWidget*)window);
}
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window, *button;
GtkBuilder *builder;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
builder=gtk_builder_new();
gtk_builder_add_from_file(builder,"a.glade",NULL);
window = GTK_WIDGET (gtk_builder_get_object(builder,"window1")) ;
button = GTK_WIDGET (gtk_builder_get_object(builder,"button1"));
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (button), "clicked",G_CALLBACK (close_window),window);
g_signal_connect_swapped(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), G_OBJECT(window));
g_object_unref(G_OBJECT(builder));
gtk_widget_show_all( window );
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
From GTK3 reference manual:
GtkBuilder — Build an interface from an XML UI definition;
GtkWidget — Base class for all widgets

Image on Qt QMdiArea background

Qt developers!
Is there are way to add image on the background of my midArea like on picture below?
I know I can use something like this
QImage img("logo.jpg");
mdiArea->setBackground(img);
But I don't need any repeat of my image on the background.
Thank you!
As I said in my comment above, you can sub-class the QMdiArea, override its paintEvent() function and draw your logo image yourself (in the bottom right corner). Here is the sample code that implements the mentioned idea:
class MdiArea : public QMdiArea
{
public:
MdiArea(QWidget *parent = 0)
:
QMdiArea(parent),
m_pixmap("logo.jpg")
{}
protected:
void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
{
QMdiArea::paintEvent(event);
QPainter painter(viewport());
// Calculate the logo position - the bottom right corner of the mdi area.
int x = width() - m_pixmap.width();
int y = height() - m_pixmap.height();
painter.drawPixmap(x, y, m_pixmap);
}
private:
// Store the logo image.
QPixmap m_pixmap;
};
And finally use the custom mdi area in the main window:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QMainWindow mainWindow;
QMdiArea *mdiArea = new MdiArea(&mainWindow);
mainWindow.setCentralWidget(mdiArea);
mainWindow.show();
return app.exec();
}

GTK+: leaks memory with gtk_label_set_text

I have installed last all-in-one bundle GTK+ for windows 32 bit.
I have a problem with function gtk_label_set_text: it leaks memory when it is called recursively
There is an example code below. It leaks memory about 1Mb every 20 seconds
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
gboolean update_label(gpointer);
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *label = NULL;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
label = gtk_label_new(NULL);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window),label);
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
g_timeout_add(10,(GtkFunction)update_label,label);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
gboolean update_label(gpointer data)
{
GtkWidget *label = data;
gchar tmpbuf[100];
sprintf(tmpbuf , "Random text %i\n",rand());
gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(label),tmpbuf);
return TRUE;
}
The code creates a windows with label and updates it every 10 ms.
Can someone help me? Is there something wrong in GTK+ library or in my code?
Thanks
This is most probably a duplicate Memory leak in GTK under Windows 7 in gtk_widget_queue_draw. What is the version of GTK you use ?

how to compile gtk2.0 program with gtk3?

i have a simple program which is compiled with gtk2.0 in ubuntu.In ubuntu11.04 i installed gtk3.then i compile the same code,i got an error in the following line
/* Add a timer callback to update the value of the progress bar */
timer = gtk_timeout_add (100, progress_timeout, pdata);
i just comment the line and recompile it.then i got output file.but it is not properly working without the commented line.
in gtk2.0 i compiled by the following command
gcc progressbar.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`
and in gtk3
gcc progressbar.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`
I have a doubt that,is there any deprecation in that method in gtk3.please give me a link to an easy documentation with examples.what are the main difference between 2 and 3.
The full source code is as shown below
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
typedef struct _ProgressData {
GtkWidget *pbar;
} ProgressData;
gint progress_timeout( gpointer data )
{
ProgressData *pdata = (ProgressData *)data;
gdouble new_val;
new_val = gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction (GTK_PROGRESS_BAR (pdata->pbar)) + 0.01;
if (new_val > 1.0)
new_val = 0.0;
gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction (GTK_PROGRESS_BAR (pdata->pbar), new_val);
return TRUE;
}
int main( int argc,
char *argv[])
{
ProgressData *pdata;
GtkWidget *align;
GtkWidget *window;
int timer;
GtkWidget *vbox;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
/* Allocate memory for the data that is passed to the callbacks */
pdata = g_malloc (sizeof (ProgressData));
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_resizable (GTK_WINDOW (window), TRUE);
g_signal_connect ( window, "destroy", gtk_main_quit, NULL ) ;
gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "GtkProgressBar");
gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 0);
vbox = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 5);
gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (vbox), 10);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), vbox);
gtk_widget_show (vbox);
/* Create a centering alignment object */
align = gtk_alignment_new (0.5, 0.5, 0, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), align, FALSE, FALSE, 5);
gtk_widget_show (align);
/* Create the GtkProgressBar */
pdata->pbar = gtk_progress_bar_new ();
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (align), pdata->pbar);
gtk_widget_show (pdata->pbar);
/* Add a timer callback to update the value of the progress bar */
timer = gtk_timeout_add (100, progress_timeout, pdata);
gtk_widget_show (window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
You need to change the gtk_timeout_add call to g_timeout_add.
gtk_timeout_add ()
guint gtk_timeout_add (guint32 interval,
GtkFunction function,
gpointer data);
Warning
gtk_timeout_add has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in
newly-written code. Use g_timeout_add() instead.
Google "gtk_timeout_add g_timeout_add" will get you examples, e.g. this one, http://gna.org/patch/?2563.
As jesse told you, you're using gtk_timeout_add, which has been deprecated in GTK2. All the symbols deprecated in GTK2 were removed in GTK3.
To have your program work in GTK3, you need to make sure you don't use any GTK2-deprecated symbols. For this, use symbols like G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED (for GLib), GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, etc. that can help you make sure when you compile with GTK2 that you're not using a symbol that was removed in GTK3.
There is also a GTK2 to GTK3 migration guide that you can use, as well as some GNOME Goals that link to the patches that were used in GNOME to accomplish that same task, for GLib and GTK symbols.

Qt jpg image display

I want to display .jpg image in an Qt UI. I checked it online and found https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qt-widgets-imageviewer-example.html. I thought Graphics View will do the same, and also it has codec to display video. How to display images using Graphics View? I went through the libraries, but because I am a totally newbie in Qt, I can't find a clue to start with. Can you direct me to some resources/examples on how to load and display images in Qt?
Thanks.
You could attach the image (as a pixmap) to a label then add that to your layout...
...
QPixmap image("blah.jpg");
QLabel *imageLabel = new QLabel();
imageLabel->setPixmap(image);
mainLayout.addWidget(imageLabel);
...
Apologies, this is using Jambi (Qt for Java) so the syntax is different, but the theory is the same.
#include ...
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QGraphicsScene scene;
QGraphicsView view(&scene);
QGraphicsPixmapItem item(QPixmap("c:\\test.png"));
scene.addItem(&item);
view.show();
return a.exec();
}
This should work. :) List of supported formats can be found here
If the only thing you want to do is drop in an image onto a widget withouth the complexity of the graphics API, you can also just create a new QWidget and set the background with StyleSheets. Something like this:
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent)
{
...
QWidget *pic = new QWidget(this);
pic->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(test.png)");
pic->setGeometry(QRect(50,50,128,128));
...
}
Add Label (a QLabel) to the dialog where you want to show the image. This QLabel will actually display the image. Resize it to the size you want the image to appear.
Add the image to your resources in your project.
Now go into QLabel properties and select the image you added to resources for pixmap property. Make sure to check the next property scaledContents to shrink the image in the size you want to see it.
That's all, the image will now show up.
I want to display .jpg image in an Qt UI
The simpliest way is to use QLabel for this:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QLabel label("<img src='image.jpg' />");
label.show();
return a.exec();
}
I understand your frustration the " Graphics view widget" is not the best way to do this, yes it can be done, but it's almost exactly the same as using a label ( for what you want any way) now all the ways listed do work but...
For you and any one else that may come across this question he easiest way to do it ( what you're asking any way ) is this.
QPixmap pix("Path\\path\\entername.jpeg");
ui->label->setPixmap(pix);
}
Using QPainter and QImage to paint on a window-widget (QMainWindow) (just another method)
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
public:
MainWindow();
protected:
void paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event) override;
protected:
QImage image = QImage("/path/to/image.jpg");
};
// for convenience resize window to image size
MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
setMinimumSize(image.size());
}
void MainWindow::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
{
QPainter painter(this);
QRect rect = event->rect();
painter.drawImage(rect, image, rect);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow mainWindow;
mainWindow.show();
return a.exec();
}
