Hi,

I'm trying to use GTK & GDK-API at the same time and can't seem to even move a window. What am I doing wrong?

gtk_init_(0,0)
gdk_init_(0,0)

window = gtk_window_new_(#GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)

gtk_window_set_position_(window,#GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER)

gtk_window_set_title_(window, @"MyWindow")

gtk_widget_show_(window)

;gdk_window_move_(window,200,200) ; <- This does not work...

gtk_main_()

End

A GtkWindow is not the same as a GdkWindow. They are different handles.
You can't just use the 'window' variable in a gdk call.

The GtkWidget structure (which is inside the GtkWindow one) contains a field
that stores the gtk window identifyer for that widget.

first do his:

*window.GtkWidget = gtk_window_new_(#GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)

(and of course use *window instead of window for the gtk calls)
then for the gdk call, use this:

gdk_window_move_(*window\window,200,200)

(there is also *window\parent which is the gdk identifyer of the widgets parent)

Thanks, sounds good! I'll try that...

(Hatte mir auch schon sowas gedacht, bin aber in den APIs nicht so schnell drauf gestoßen.)
