[Gtk-sharp-list] GTK# App with multiple windows, where does
Application.Init() and Application.Run() go?

Application.Init() should always come before any code that may take
place that will start to create Gtk# objects. This will initialize
things that need to take place for Gtk# to work. After you get done
seting everything up that need to take place when you frist start, you
then call Application.Run(). Application.Run() is blocking so the code
can't continue on. What it is doing is running in a loop until a
Application.Quit is called. This makes it so that you application
doesn't keep running on its main thread after showing the window and
then disappear all of a sudden. Pretty easy huh?
:-)
If you still need help see
http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharpBeginnersGuide
Its not yet done but still a nice guide.
Hope that helps :-)
