Displaying toggle button - gtk

i am new to gtk and i dont know how to display a toggle button in gtk.
there are no examples of the same for gtk+3.
here is what i did
GtkToolItem *tog;
tog = gtk_toggle_tool_button_new();
gtk_toggle_button_set_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(tog), FALSE);
i tried to add toggle button to grid, container. i also tried using gtk_widget_show and pass tog but of no use.
can any one show me the an example code or how to solve this.
PS: not a C++ programmer.

You need to show all your toplevel's widgets:
// cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` main.c
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *grid;
GtkToolItem *tool;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
grid = gtk_grid_new ();
tool = gtk_toggle_tool_button_new ();
gtk_tool_button_set_label (GTK_TOOL_BUTTON (tool), "Hi there");
g_signal_connect (window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), GTK_WIDGET (tool), 0, 0, 1, 1);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), grid);
gtk_widget_show_all (window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}

Alternative to deprecated gtk_alignment_new

I used the GtkAlignment widget to control the alignment and size of its child widget. But gtk_alignment_new has been deprecated since version 3.14 and should not be used in newly-written code. What functions should I use as alternatives to let the code be gtk3+ compatible?
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *button;
GtkWidget *halign;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Tooltip");
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 300, 200);
gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window), 15);
button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Button");
gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text(button, "Button widget");
halign = gtk_alignment_new(0, 0, 0, 0);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(halign), button);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), halign);
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy",
G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
As suggested in the comment, use these two functions instead:
void gtk_widget_set_halign (GtkWidget *widget, GtkAlign align);
Sets the horizontal alignment of widget.
gtk_widget_get_valign (GtkWidget *widget); Sets the vertical alignment of widget.
The enum GtkAlign types are the following:
GTK_ALIGN_START: The 'start' of the layout. Vertically this is the top, horizontally this is left/right according to LTR/RTL
GTK_ALIGN_END: Opposite of GTK_ALIGN_START
GTK_ALIGN_CENTER: The middle of the layout
GTK_ALIGN_FILL : Take all available space
for scaling use GTK_ALIGN_FILL.
So the gtk3+ compatible alternative for your code is the following:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *button;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Tooltip");
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 300, 200);
gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window), 15);
button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Button");
gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text(button, "Button widget");
gtk_widget_set_halign (button, GTK_ALIGN_START);
gtk_widget_set_valign (button, GTK_ALIGN_START);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy",
G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}

How do I unfocus all other widgets in GTK when I click on a widget?

In my GTK program I have a TextEntry widget and a TreeView widget. When I click on the TextEntry widget and select some text, then click on the TreeView widget, it doesn't deselect the text in the TextEntry widget. How do I get it to deselect the text in the TextEntry widget when I click on the TreeView widget?
You can bind gtk_editable_select_region to the entry's "focus-out-event" signal, see the sample below:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
gboolean unselect_on_focus_lost (GtkWidget *widget)
{
gtk_editable_select_region (GTK_EDITABLE (widget), 0, 0);
return FALSE;
}
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window, *box, *entry, *button;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 5);
gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (window), 400, 130);
box = gtk_box_new (GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, 8);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), box);
entry = gtk_entry_new ();
gtk_entry_set_placeholder_text (GTK_ENTRY (entry), "I will lose my selection when you click the button below");
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (entry), "focus-out-event", G_CALLBACK (unselect_on_focus_lost), NULL);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), entry);
entry = gtk_entry_new ();
gtk_entry_set_placeholder_text (GTK_ENTRY (entry), "I will NOT lose my selection when you click the button below");
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), entry);
/* I used a button instead of a treeview to keep the code short */
button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Click me");
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), button);
gtk_widget_grab_focus (button);
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_widget_show_all (window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}

gtk callback multiple arguments

#include <stdio.h>

void b_clicked (GtkButton *c_button, example *test){
g_print("Hostname: %s\n", test->host);
}

GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *grid;
GtkWidget *c_button;
GtkWidget *q_button;

gtk_window_set_resizable(GTK_WINDOW(window), FALSE);
grid = gtk_grid_new ();
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), grid);
gtk_grid_set_row_spacing (GTK_GRID (grid), 3);
label_host = gtk_label_new("Hostname");
example test;
h_name = gtk_entry_new();
test.host = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY (h_name));
gtk_entry_set_placeholder_text (GTK_ENTRY (h_name), "Hostname");
c_button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Connect");
g_signal_connect (c_button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (b_clicked), (gpointer*)&test);
q_button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Quit");
g_signal_connect (q_button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), label_host, 0, 0, 1, 1);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), h_name, 1, 0, 1, 1);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), c_button, 0, 3, 2, 1);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), q_button, 0, 4, 2, 1);
gtk_widget_show_all (window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
What is wrong whit this??
i have no errors and no warnings but on the terminal this program doesn't write anything :(
if i write:
test.host="trying something"
it works but with gtk_entry_get_text it doesn't show nothing :(
i don't understand...why it doesn't work with gtk_entry_get_text?
You need to understand that GTK is an event-driven toolkit (like many other). You need interact with events. But it won't check for events until you've run gtk_main. So your problem is that you're reading the hostname using test.host = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY (h_name)), but at that time, the widget hasn't been displayed, and you didn't even typed anything in it! So you're basically just getting a null string from this, and that is what you display when you click on the "connect" button.
One way to do it is to have your pointer to widgets in the struct. That way, you call gtk_entry_get_text from inside the b_clicked callback. That way, the value you get is the one that is inside the text entry widget at that time.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct {
GtkWidget *host;
} example;
void b_clicked (GtkButton *c_button, example *test){
g_print("Hostname: %s\n", gtk_entry_get_text (GTK_ENTRY(test->host)));
}
int main (int argc, char *argv[]){
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *grid;
GtkWidget *c_button;
GtkWidget *q_button;
GtkWidget *label_host;
GtkWidget *h_name;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "FTP Client");
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
g_signal_connect (window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);
gtk_window_set_resizable(GTK_WINDOW(window), FALSE);
grid = gtk_grid_new ();
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), grid);
gtk_grid_set_row_spacing (GTK_GRID (grid), 3);
label_host = gtk_label_new("Hostname");
example test;
h_name = gtk_entry_new();
test.host = h_name;
gtk_entry_set_placeholder_text (GTK_ENTRY (h_name), "Hostname");
c_button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Connect");
g_signal_connect (c_button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (b_clicked), &test);
q_button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Quit");
g_signal_connect (q_button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), label_host, 0, 0, 1, 1);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), h_name, 1, 0, 1, 1);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), c_button, 0, 3, 2, 1);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), q_button, 0, 4, 2, 1);
gtk_widget_show_all (window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
Another nicer way to do it is, without modifying your struct, is to ask to be notified when the text has changed. For that, use the "changed" signal, as GtkEntry implements the GtkEditable interface. See "GtkEntry text change signal".
Please also note that (gpointer*)&test is wrong. test is a struct, &test is the adress of a struct. gpointer is a void *, ie. already a pointer, so gpointer * is a pointer to a pointer, which is not what &test is. So just write &test.

Gtk, How to scroll at bottom of viewport list?

I have created one list with GtkVBox and GtkViewPort.
and i am doing the scroll by two up/down GtkButtons.
GtkAdjustment* adjustment;
adjustment = gtk_viewport_get_vadjustment(GTK_VIEWPORT(viewport_ptr));
gtk_adjustment_set_value(adjustment, gtk_adjustment_get_value(adjustment)+(gdouble)SCROLL_SIZE);
gtk_widget_show_all(viewport_ptr);
But when I add the widget to VBox it gets added at the end of the VBox as I am using gtk_box_pack_start. So i want to scroll viewport up to this newly added last widget which is at bottom of the list.
Did you try just setting the adjustment to the maximum value:
gtk_adjustment_set_value(adjustment, gtk_adjustment_get_upper(adjustment));
Note that you might need to delay this, or trigger it from a suitable event, since the upper bound will change as the scrolled vbox grows.
My suggestion would be to hook it into the size-allocate signal of the GtkVBox.
Here's an example that shows what #unwind means when he suggests hooking the adjustment into the size-allocate signal.

opencv image update in gtk for video streaming linux with C programming

I am using opencv 1.0.0 and gtk2.0. I want to grab images continuously from a video stream. So far I have successfully been able to grab still image. This is non standard IP camera not VGA/USB /V4L one so need to know explicit method to refresh or update images continuously for video streaming!

IplImage* bayerImage = NULL;
IplImage* rgbImage = NULL;

// Usually opencv image is BGR, so we need to change it to RGB
pix = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data ((guchar*)rgbImage->imageData,
GDK_COLORSPACE_RGB,
FALSE,
rgbImage->depth,
rgbImage->width,
rgbImage->height,
(rgbImage->widthStep),
NULL,
NULL);
image = gtk_image_new_from_pixbuf (pix);
