* Pass an EAlertSink to e_alert_sink_submit_alert().Matthew Barnes2010-11-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | Passing a random GtkWidget and then searching its ancestors for an EAlertSink turned out to be not as useful as I thought. Most of the time we know about and have access to the widget that implements EAlertSink, so just pass it directly as an EAlertSink.
* Messin around with EAlerts.Matthew Barnes2010-09-301-0/+62
Trying out a new interface called EAlertSink. The idea is to centralize how errors are shown to the user. A GtkWindow subclass would implement the EAlertSink interface, which consists of a single method: void (*submit_alert) (EAlertSink *alert_sink, EAlert *alert); The subclass has complete control over what to do with the EAlert, although I imagine we'll wind up implementing various alert-handling policies as standalone widgets such as EAlertDialog. I'd like to try an EAlertInfoBar. Code that would otherwise display an error dialog itself would instead pass the EAlert to an appropriate EAlertSink and be done with it. Nothing is final yet. Still hacking on EAlert trying to find an API that feels right for these use cases.
