I switched out the find_pixmap code in my compile with this - speeds up not finding missing images with locate (especially if it is missing) and gives a convenient way to tell where the global gtkdialog images are (using an environment variable - GTKDIALOG_PIXMAP_DIR) - better suggestions welcome though

Hello,
Did not test this yet... but guess that, at first sight, the small "amateur" I am finds these code lines impressive and somewhat "hermetic"... Shocked

!

Thank you a lot!

The site http://code.google.com/p/gtkdialog/ wasn't updated for a long time.
Can be here will on a subject.
gtkdialog has many good examples bash-script.
The author Laszlo Pere has given possibility to do the program and in C-language, but an example of such program only one (and very small).
Program possibilities gtkdialog in this case are much poorer, than at bash-script.
Some users can write on bash-script worse, than on C-language (as I for example).
Considering it I has made an example in C-language.
Designs gtkdialog for C-language don't allow for example such things:
<window window_position = "1" title = "System Tools">
Or:
<action when = "file-activated"> echo File: $FILE </action>
It managed to be bypassed in such a way:
"<action> cat [echo $FILE] | zenity - text-info - width=720 - height=400 - title $FILE </action>"
But even with such restrictions it was interesting to me to make the program which doesn't demand heavy libraries (so I anyway think).
If will consider it possible add my example in/gtkdialog/examples/

Hello Everyone,

I made me a notebook like menu for Manna OS, but iI have one problem that I need help with.

When I hit a button the menu stays open. How do I close it after hitting a button?

Hello again

I am have been trying to view+ and view- for my text but not sure if the code is right

I tried running your script from a terminal to see what was happening after changing the inputfile line to a file I had.
It displayed that file fine in the text window.
But... Instead of displaying the contents of a file from the File Selection button, it returns and displays the file name and that is being used as the input.
So that is strange.
Also, the $ variables I would have thought were command line variables given externally to the script.
But I have not worked with gtkdialog in a while, so take this reply for a grain of salt.

Hi 8-bit,

this code is form an example that I messed around with and had know idea what I was doing.

Here is my thought I want to be able to have books/text in a window that would be able to zoom-out/in so it could be read.

I am slowly learning how to do all of this though.

I see that that code was derived from one of the examples in gtkdialog.
But to me, it appears to be missing something in that using the "fileselect" one would think that it would display the contents of that file in the txt0 window. It instead only displays the filename (with path) returned by fileselect in the txt0 window.
If I change the "$0" in line 25 to "$1" and start the text_advanced script from a terminal with a filename as a parameter, it does display the file in the scrollable box.
It just bugs me that the fileselect button does not display the contents of the file chosen.

As to the display of the file contents, are you wanting to be able to change the font size of the display for those with poor eyesight?
There appears to be no controls in the script for that currently.

Hello,
I didn't verify and am not sure at all, but is the export line not missing?

As to sizing, if you want a bigger display window for the text, just change line 15 from resizable="false" to resizable="true".
You can then grab a corner of the window and drag it to the size you want.
That is the full display window and not just the text window on it.
But as I previously stated, the fileselect returns and displays the file name with path into the text window where one would have thought it should display the contents of the selected file in the window.
