What a good is a pixmap when you can't display it? There are couple of approaches to doing this. Create a drawing area, hook up to expose_event, and draw the pixmap onto it as seen before. Although doing it for every icon you are going to display will drive you crazy. Use GtkPixmap class which provides a simple pixmap container. window, null, "gtk-logo.xpm"); $gtkpix = &new GtkPixmap($pixmap, $mask); $window->add($gtkpix); ?>]]>
