What is the difference between MainWindows show() and showAll() method in GtkD?
d, gtkd, user-interface
Solution
These links from official GTK+ documentation should help: `gtk_widget_show`, `gtk_widget_show_all`. In short, `show` shows only the widget it is called on, and `show_all`, being applied to a container, shows all widgets in this container recursively.
GtkD has very poor and nearly impossible to use API docs, though this seems to be a problem not of GtkD but of D tools. The methods you are referring to are defined on `GtkWidget` class, but unfortunately the page about `gtk.Widget` is empty (mostly).
Problem
Here is my test: ``` import gtk.Main; import gtk.MainWindow; import gtk.Label; void main(string[] args) { Main.init(args); auto window = new MainWindow("My Window"); window.add(new Label("Label1")); window.show(); Main.run(); } ``` When I replace `Main.show()` with `Main.showAll()` it works as expected, however I can't find any documentation for either function here: http://api.gtkd.org/src/gtk/MainWindow.html What is the difference between these two methods and where can I find documentation?
