Hi all,

I want to use GTK text view ,to show some messages during the run of a program.

GtkWidget *text_buffer;
GtkTextBuffer *buff;
Gtk.TextIter start;
text_buffer=gtk_text_view_new();
gtk_text_view_set_editable(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(text_buffer),FALSE);
buff=gtk_text_view_get_buffer (GTK_TEXT_VIEW(text_buffer));
gtk_text_buffer_get_start_iter(buff,&start);
gtk_text_buffer_insert(buff,&start,"Hello",-1);

But each time i do a gtk_text_buffer_insert the inserted comment displayed only in the same line, My question is how i can display another comment in another line of my gtk text view ?

or if there is another solution to use another widget for example to display some comment in the text!.

Cheers.

Use gtk_text_buffer_insert_at_cursor().
Simply calls gtk_text_buffer_insert(), using the current cursor position as the insertion point.
Here you are some additional information.

No i was wrong,

I didn't solve my problem if i call gtk_text_buffer_inset_at_cursor twice the second insersion will be in the same line,so how to move the cursor to the next line and do the insertion.

The text is not editable just used to show some messages.

Cheers.

It sounds like your message is just continually appended to the text buffer. You'll need to insert a new line character, and then use gtk_text_iter_forward_line() to move to the next line.
