  • I need a quick libgtk call

    From T@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 3 20:24:55 2021
    Hi All,

    Not "where" from the command line or any
    other command line method. I need to do this
    from inside a program with a call to libgtk.

    Anyone know a quick libgtk call that will
    tell me if libgtk is working?

    All the libgtk calls I can find have YUGE structures.

    https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/api-index-full.html

    libgtk's version would be nice (without having
    to create a YUGE structure).

    Many thanks,
    -T

    GTK is a cross platform library, and your question is more related to GTK
    than Win32.

    I am going to be running the test from Windows 10-20H2

    Just out of curiosity, what would I normally
    use LoadLibraryA for?

    Same thing as the *nix equivalent `dlopen()` function.

    For loading optional libraries, and for loading libraries whose name are
    given by user input.

    Though, most software developers treat DLLs (i.e. Dynamic Link Library) as static link libraries (even for optional DLLs, or DLLs which aren't
    guaranteed to exist in every Windows installations). That prevents the
    system from even starting the main program when any of the DLL (which can be optional) is missing.
