How to see titlename

I currently use the maemo virtual image to develop but I have a problem as I want to use a app menu. I have set the titlename but it refuses to show up. Is there any way to solve this and how?

Show the source code.

Re: How to see titlename

That's not source code, that's API documentation, hence the request still stands.

Re: How to see titlename

if you scroll down a bit you see a example, i use the same code for titlebar and window

Code:

static void

show_new_window (void)

{

    GtkWidget *win;



    win = hildon_stackable_window_new ();



    // ... configure new window



    gtk_widget_show (win);

}



int

main (int argc, char **argv)

{

    GtkWidget *win;

    GtkWidget *button;



    gtk_init (&argc, &args);



    win = hildon_stackable_window_new ();

    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (win), "Main window);



    // ... add some widgets to the window



    g_signal_connect (button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (show_new_window), NULL);

    g_signal_connect (win, "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);



    gtk_widget_show_all (win);

    gtk_main ();



    return 0;

}

Re: How to see titlename

Where's your source code?

That code won't even compile:

Quote:

gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (win), "Main window);

Re: How to see titlename

I added hildon-program.h and gtkmain.h includes. Removed show_new_window function and button widget and it's signal_connect. Also fixed gtk_init and that missing quotation mark.
Compiled with gcc -o proggis c.c `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 hildon-1 --cflags --libs` -Wall

Works fine.
I think you are beyond any help.

Re: How to see titlename

Oh I'm sorry! I was sure that I took that code. Btw how comes that there are alot of examples in the API documentation that won't even work? I have always learned new things by example but both hildon and qt are like this! This makes it so much harder to learn this stuff... I have been sitting 50h+ with hildon and qt and because almost all examples are not working I still have no clue about how to do things. For example in qt I have no clue how to make a treeview because I want to make a model and that is not working sice model->setModel() (or how it exactly is) does not even exist and they use it everywhere in the examples.

But now back to topic, I did use a example from the virtual image. The only thing I added is the gtk_window_set_title("kokbok"); But if you think its stupid to learn this instead of Qt(it feels more complete with examples) please tell me or give me a link where I can see how to use hildon with Qt.

Code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    HildonProgram *program;

    HildonWindow *window;

    GtkWidget *button;



    /* This is called in all Hildon applications. Arguments are parsed

    * from the command line and are returned to the application. */

    hildon_gtk_init (&argc, &argv);



    /* Get an instance of HildonProgram. It is an object used to represent

    * an application running in the Hildon framework.               */

    program = HILDON_PROGRAM( hildon_program_get_instance () );



    /* Set the program title */

    g_set_application_name("Hello World");



    /* create a new hildon window */

    window = HILDON_WINDOW( hildon_window_new () );

    gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Kokbok");



    /* Registers a window as belonging to the program */

    hildon_program_add_window (program, window);

PS. Where is a good place to learn how things work? As the API documentaion is not reliable

Re: How to see titlename

Since you still won't give enough code to properly test it I quess the problem in using both g_set_application_name and gtk_window_set_title with different parameters.

Re: How to see titlename

I thought the application name was different to the window title. But I really start to feel that maemo is not anything for me. I usualy program java and it is so much easier to get going with because the api is correct. I will forget about hildon and try Qt instead. Maybe I should start a new thread but I hope I get some answers here.

Where can I find basic stuff examples about Qt?
What I am trying to make is not that complicated. In the begining it is just a cockbook where I can choose to see recipes of food/drinks and ingredients. And when I choose a recipe I want to see ingredients, a how-to and the price/portion. Of course I want to add new recipes and ingredients in the program. So what I need to learn is how to use:
*listView(or treeView as I read in the pdfs)
*appmenu
*database(some how this seems to be the easiest)

PS Is it the community or nokia that makes the api documentation? Will it get updated?
