[gtkada] Canvas Item Record

[Clark, G L]

Hello All,

  I'm trying to implement a handler for the "item_selected" signal in the
GtkAda.Canvas widget.
  My first approach which I thought would be the most simple is a general
handler using Gtk_Args.  Now I need to get the parameter from Params and
convert it into a Canvas_Item and I have no idea how to go about this.  I'm
hoping not to need to write my own Marshallers and such, I'd like to keep
this as simple as possible.  Is there something obvious I'm missing about
Gtk_Args?
  Any help would be appreciated.

   procedure On_Workarea1_Item_Selected_Event
     (Object : access Gtk_Widget_Record'Class;
      Params : Gtk.Arguments.Gtk_Args)
   is
     -- Arg1 : Gtkada.Canvas.Canvas_Item := ???(Params, 1);
   begin
      Text_IO.Put_Line("In Item Selected Event");
      --Manipulate Canvas Item here.
   end On_Workarea1_Item_Selected_Event;

I don't think this is an expected behavior, but it would be nice to have
some
source code to check what you are doing. You might want to create a
double-buffer item, with its own pixmap (sorry, I don't remember exactly if
this was already doable with the last public release of GtkAda, or if this
was
only added in the development version since then).

Indeed, the GtkAda canvas is specific to GtkAda, and doesn't exist with
gtk+. The Gnome canvas hasn't been fully bound yet.

Emmanuel
