[gtkada] Fwd: Hypertext widgets

[Jeff Creem]

There are two Gtk based Hypertext widgets that I know of
CscHTML and GtkHTML. I have not used either one. I think GtkHTML requires
GNOME.

In any case it sounds like you want really more than an HTML widget since
you want a database query. I suspect (although I do not know for sure) that
you would
need a web server behind these to support it. Also you would need to create
bindings to them
as well (using the tools that come with GtkAda).

You might be better off creating your own (perhaps based on the source code
from one of
these two widgets). Or, for limited clickable text with database searches
only (no inline images,
javascript, etc) you probably can just create one from scratch pretty easily
using GtkAda directly.

Forgive me. This is more of a gtk question, but since my app is in Ada
I take the chance.

My aim is to write an application which displayes text (not for
editing)  where certain names or words can be selected for further
reference.

Why re-invent the wheel? Well, the thing is that the data displayed are
stored in a database and I don't want a web-server running to get to
the data.

Is there a way of using the existing widget set in this fashion?
