I never used it. But this is not GtkAda, this is GLib that uses GInt where a non-existent in C Boolean type would be appropriate. > You also > have to use Glib.Convert.Locale_To_UTF8() function to be able to use > Strings with non ASCII characters. No, you don't and this is not GtkAda either. Normally you never need to convert anything. You just assume everything UTF-8 and you are good. When you use some specific encoding, you convert that to UTF-8 first. I use Ada means for that rather than GLib.Convert, but not with GTK stuff. GTK is already UTF-8. -- Regards, Dmitry A.
