Gtk - GTK+ Hello World

GTK+ Hello World

The following code presents a graphical GTK+ hello-world program in the C programming language. This program has a window with the title "Hello, world!" and a label with similar text.

#include int main (int argc, char *argv) { GtkWidget *window; GtkWidget *label; gtk_init(&argc, &argv); /* Create the main, top level window */ window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); /* Give it the title */ gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Hello, world!"); /* ** Map the destroy signal of the window to gtk_main_quit; ** When the window is about to be destroyed, we get a notification and ** stop the main GTK+ loop by returning 0 */ g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL); /* ** Assign the variable "label" to a new GTK label, ** with the text "Hello, world!" */ label = gtk_label_new("Hello, world!"); /* Plot the label onto the main window */ gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), label); /* Make sure that everything, window and label, are visible */ gtk_widget_show_all(window); /* ** Start the main loop, and do nothing (block) until ** the application is closed */ gtk_main; return 0; }

Using GCC and pkg-config in a Unix shell, this code can be compiled with the following command (assume above source has file name "helloworld.c"):

$ gcc -Wall helloworld.c -o helloworld $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0)

Famous quotes containing the word world:

    “Stevenson had noble ideas—as did the young Franklin for that matter. But Stevenson felt that the way to implement them was to present himself as a thoughtful idealist and wait for the world to flock to him. He considered it below him, or wrong, to scramble out among the people and ask them what they wanted. Roosevelt grappled voters to him. Stevenson shied off from them. Some thought him too pure to desire power, though he showed ambition when it mattered.”
    —Garry Wills, U.S. historian. Certain Trumpets: The Call of Leaders, ch. 9, Simon & Schuster (1994)
