I hope the title makes sence. When creating a multiple windows application there is a flickering (if I can call that like this) when changing from one window to another. Is there anything we can do to make it the transition from on window to another smoother like lets say in a visual basic application that uses menus as well ?

To avoid as well a second tab to be shown on the windows task bar when opening the second window just before the first window is hidden or destroyed ?

Thank you in advanced :)

Hi,

Got your PM too.

Is it possible that you trim your code to the bare minimum that will illustrate the flickering you have mentioned?

I cannot guess what might be the cause without see the actual problem.

p.s. Please bear in mind that gtk does not support multiple document interface (MDI)in visual basic.

I would suggest you don't try to implement MDI on PHP-GTK2. Different programming languages have different ways of doing things.

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, there are various ways to achieve different things in PHP-GTK.

For example, you might be able to use GtkNotebook. Or hide/unhide different vboxes/hboxes. Or replace entire contents in a vbox or hbox.

Be a bit more specific of what you have in mind, and people might be able to help you.

Yes, I do realise that gtk does not support MDI, and as you said the best way might be to hide or show entire v or h boxes.

Tha what I trie to do with no much luck (in conjuction of course - contrlled by - a menu senario).

Any ideas or a pointer to perform tht hide show of the box with a menu ?
