[Gtk-sharp-list] Proper design for creating windows

[Matthew Beckler]

Hello everyone,

I have seen in various places that you can create your programs by
extending the basic Gtk.Window, but you can also just create a new
instance of a window. I am wondering which is the 'more correct' way to
do this. I have included equivalent examples for both ways.

Inheriting from Gtk.Window:

class MyWindow : Gtk.Window
{
    	public MyWindow () : base ("Driver")
    	{
		this.Title = "This is the title of MyWindow"; 
		this.SetDefaultSize (400, 300);
		this.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler
(OnMyWindowDelete);

    		Label label = new Label("This label is the only thing
here");
		this.Add(label);
    		this.ShowAll ();
    	}
    	
    	private void OnMyWindowDelete (object o, DeleteEventArgs args)
    	{
    		Application.Quit ();
		args.RetVal = true;
    	}
    	
	[STAThread]
	static void Main(string[] args) 
	{
		Application.Init();
		new MyWindow();
		Application.Run();
	}
}

Creating a new Gtk.Window:

class MyWindow
{
	private static void OnMyWindowDelete (object o, DeleteEventArgs
args)
	{
		Application.Quit ();
		args.RetVal = true;
	}
    
	[STAThread]
	static void Main(string[] args) 
	{
		Application.Init();

		Gtk.Window win = new Window("This is the title of
MyWindow");
		win.Title = "This is the title of MyWindow"; 
		win.SetDefaultSize (400, 300);
		win.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler
(OnMyWindowDelete);

		Label label = new Label("This label is the only thing
here");
		win.Add(label);
		win.ShowAll ();
		Application.Run();
	}
}

Again, I am wondering which way I should be doing things.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew
