GTK+ Button not showing.

[richm8026]

Hmm, the button btnQuit;Is not showing up on the main window.. Can somebody explain why?? Code below.. I don't want no functionality yet, just displaying it on the form..

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

static gboolean kill_window(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, gpointer data)
{
  gtk_main_quit();
  return FALSE;
}


int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
  
  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
  
  GtkWidget *window;
  GtkWidget *quitBtn;
  
  
  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  
  gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "App 1");
  gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 800, 700);
  gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
  quitBtn = gtk_button_new_with_label("Quit");
  gtk_widget_set_size_request(GTK_WIDGET(quitBtn), 125, 25);
  gtk_widget_show_all(window);
  
  g_signal_connect(window, "delete_event", G_CALLBACK(kill_window), NULL);

  
  
  gtk_main();
 
  
  
  return 0;
  
}

I think you forgot to put the button in the window. At some point you need to call gtk_container_add().

Thankks a lot, =). gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(quitBtn)); I swear, there's something that goes after (quitBtn) but having a memory lapse.

Maybe this will refresh your memory.

Actually, I got it showing, but it appears to be taking up the entire window, I don't want that to happen.. I even tried to put it in a Layout, it fills up the entire Y Axis, but only a little bit of the X Axis.. Hmm, not sure what to do about this now.. I even went to gtk.org -> Documentation, went by that, still same thing.. I even tried the gtk_fixed_put and I was getting errors, and it still filled up the entire window.. Hmm.. What to do, what to do, LOL..
