TBH I use only: dwww or devhelp (plugins available for some IDEs), the relevant -doc packages and source from something similar. I did have the advantage that Glade had a "generate source" method in the old version but that has since been removed (generating code is seen as not a good thing in general). > Yea this still is a question though!, .looking at gtk so far its > actually quite nice and many thinks are logical, but a book would not > hurt. Feel free to look at the source of simple Gtk apps like gpe-expenses, deb-gview or a calculator or similar. > On a side note, anybody tried any touch screen LCD's, looking for > something that's slightly industrial.

(and linux compatibility is a *must*) tslib and xorg-xserver-tslib - v.v.v.v. new and although now in Lenny, I haven't had time to really play with them yet. My advice would be to stick to Gtk+ signals and callbacks and let the rest of the system take care of whether the "click" is coming from a mouse or is actually a "tap" on a touchscreen somewhere. Your application shouldn't need to care because it should deploy the same code for mouse and for touchscreen support. That is how GPE does it and it does work. As for hardware, I've only got existing hardware (iPAQ) or a bespoke touchscreen added to my balloon3 development board. I'm not that good on hardware - if you ask on debian-embedded then I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the direction of a supplier. The main criterion is: Are you expecting taps to come from a delicate stylus or a chunky finger? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
