Maybe there's something I'm missing about what you're asking, but Argolance's example I linked to is for a tree widget. Argolance was looking for help because it had a problem if you clicked on an item and didn't drag it, and 8-bit posted a link to a workaround for that problem using getcurpos http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=549651#549651

Ah, sorry - you haven't edited your last post, have you?
I thought you said you were not talking about your example of moving items in a list widget. But you didn't say that - I must have imagined it.

Ah yes, "reorderable".

I think this operation needs a tooltip to go with it. I remember struggling with trying to move an item up and down a list and constantly ending up with placing it as a subheading instead.

The trick is after highlighting an item, drag it to the right and keeping the mouse button down move the item up and down and watch for a line under the item where you wish it placed.

Added timer widget

The widget reference is available here.

The default signal is "tick", emitted when the timer ticks.
The default precision is seconds and the default interval is 1s.
Use the milliseconds="true/yes/1" custom tag attribute to use milliseconds.
Use the interval="value" custom tag attribute to set the interval (unsigned integer).
Use the tag attribute (GTK+ property) visible="false" to hide the timer.
Disabling the timer pauses it, enabling the timer unpauses it.

The timer is created enabled by default, but if you want it disabled then use the <sensitive>false</sensitive> directive or the sensitive="false" tag attribute.

The timer itself doesn't affect CPU usage (I tested with 255x1s timers) but what the application developer executes on the "tick" signal will.

<timer> widget example:

I tried to compile the latest but it seems to have a problem, I don't really know much about this so it could be me.

Here is what I get after running make.

I don't have the very latest gtkdialog here, but I'm guessing this isn't fixed yet:

In other words, if the executable is named something other than "gtkdialog", then you need to create a link to it named "gtkdialog", to be able to use the event-driven option.

The badly named <visible>disabled </visible> directive has been deprecated in favour of <sensitive>false/no/0</sensitive> which is what it actually is. I'm going to remove <visible> from the wiki so that folk don't use it anymore.
