PHP-GTK Community : a community site for PHP-GTK

Deep Dungeons is a classic Role-Playing-Game, in 2D ! "Au menu": Heroes, monsters, dungeons, swords, gold, bugs... ;-)

Warning: this tip is only for Win32 versions of PHP-GTK.

How to use a loop, for you might want to make an IRC client :)

I had trouble finding this out, so here it is. If you want to manage a network connection (i.e. an IRC connection) you need a while (1) {} loop.

This cannot be done in PHP-GTK, because of the gtk::main() function. So, there is the gtk::timeout_add($time, $function) that executes a function every $time milliseconds. This solves our problem.

Important

Your function must return TRUE else it will not be called again. Return FALSE to cancel the timeout.

These examples show how to empty instances of classes derived from GtkContainer.

You have to connect the button-release-event after all other functions have worked.

Andrei Zmievski, creator and lead coder of the PHP-GTK project, posted a long "letter to the community" today, which is poised to mark a turning point in the history of the project, after a long period of stagnation.

It is available on archive of the php-gtk-general mailing list, for instance on the MARC Archive.
