gtk#

I've been trying all day to get GTK# working in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 so that I can start writing nice cross-platform GUI applications, but I'm somewhat new to C# and I'm having a world of trouble. I installed the latest Mono for Windows which includes GTK#. I also installed a Mono 2.10.8 profile to be the target framework of my project loosely following the guide from here: http://erictummers.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/target-mono-from-visual-studio/ I created a new Windows Forms application and removed references to the windows forms stuff and adding references for

I'm trying to change the theme in GTK# ( OS: Windows, IDE: Xamarin ). But I get next issues: I was able to find only one theme which correctly render, it is "Orta". All was well, except for lags and freezes . Here is my code: string Resource_File = "Orta\\gtk-2.0\\gtkrc"; Application.Init (); Gtk.Rc.AddDefaultFile (Resource_File); Gtk.Rc.Parse (Resource_File); MainWindow win = new MainWindow (); win.Show (); Application.Run (); When I changing the size of the Paned or clicking on button I get GUI freezes ( I already asked about this ). This problem occurs only when using this theme, with the

All I can figure out is something to do with the ComboBox.GetEnumerator or something like that. I would like to do something like: System.Collections.IEnumerator e = this.task_difficulty_combobox.GetEnumerator(); while (e.MoveNext()) { if (e.ToString() == this.task.Difficulty.ToString()) { Gtk.TreeIter i = (Gtk.TreeIter)e.Current; this.task_difficulty_combobox.SetActiveIter(i); break; } } However, This doesn't work. kdt The reason your code doesn't work is that the "items in the combobox" are actually the cell renderers packed into it for displaying columns of data. To get at the actual data,

I'm trying to use mkbundle so that I can distribute a GTK# application without users needing to install .NET/Mono or GTK#. I've successfully bundled an application which uses winforms, but for some reason when I do the same with a GTK# application it won't work. This is what I get out of cygwin: $ mkbundle --deps a.exe OS is: Windows Sources: 1 Auto-dependencies: True Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'gtk-sharp' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'gtk-sharp' at System.AppDomain.Load (System

I have a worker thread spawned from a GUI (for GUI performance), how do I access GUI, such as spawning new windows/widgets from the thread itself? I tried using delegates but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas? Possibly examples? Thank you. According to their Best Practices : Gtk# is not a thread-safe toolkit, which means that only one thread at a time can safely invoke methods on Gtk#. This thread is typically the thread executing the main loop (which is when control has been explicitly transfered to Gtk). When application developers need to have threads update some element of the
