[Gtk-sharp-list] RE: Inserting attributes into a Pango.Layout

[Willem J.W. Semmelink]

Hi Tiago
I did the following:

Pango.Layout layout =3D dc.CreatePangoLayout("Hello There");
if (layout.Attributes =3D=3D null)=20
{
   System.Console.WriteLine("Attributes is NULL");
}

Nothing was output to the console. I then confirmed by running in the=20
Visual Studio debugger - it never executed the WriteLine statement.=20
So I guess Attributes is never null by me - perhaps a difference between =
0.15 and 0.16?

I get the error messages to the console only when I add the lines:
Pango.Attribute attribute =3D Pango.Attr.ForegroundNew(0xff, 0, 0); // =
red
attribute.start_index =3D 0;
attribute.end_index =3D 1;
layout.Attributes.Insert(attribute);

The error messages also indicate a list being NULL, but in my case I =
doubt that it is the=20
Attributes list.  The next step would be to inspect the C code at the =
reported line.
I only work with the Gtk# binaries, so I haven't ventured that far yet.

Regards,=20
Willem

I think the problem appears to be that when:

	Pango.Layout layout =3D dc.CreatePangoLayout("Hello There");

the "layout.Attributes" in my case is NULL !!! which I had to make:

	layout.Attribute =3D new AttrList();

but in this case one wonders what needs to be initialized appart from =
this=20
"new" statement... Should it be NULL ? Is it NULL in your case ? Try =
making=20
an "if (layout.Attributes =3D=3D null) <something>" right after the=20
CreatePangoLayout to see if its null or so...

Oh, I'm using Gtk# 0.16... didnt try with 0.15 though...

Thanks,
