Gtk2 question...

[Hal Fulton]

I've been working for several hours now on something that is probably a
mixture of genius and idiocy.

I have a very general GTK question. (My knowledge here has always been
limited -- just a few small apps, playing with widgets.)

"Every widget in GTK can be classified as a container or not a
container." Is this a true statement?

Thanks,
Hal

is'nt this a tautology ?
a or not a == true


Have you looked at the widget hierarchy shown from rbbr ?

widget:
\-calendar
\-container
\-DrawingArea
\-Entry
\-invisible
\-misc
\-process
\-range
\-ruler
\-separator

True.

Button --> Container
Label --> Not
Box --> Container (and supports multiple children)
Menu Item --> Container

I think some of the shortcuts in GTK make it somewhat less than obvious
at times, but when it comes down to it, it's a true statement.
