Hello,

I'm trying to place GtkImage widget over GtkDrawingArea ( both are placed in GtkFixed widget). everything looks alright, except the order of widgets. no matter which of them is placed first, DrawingArea contents are always on the top of widgets. is there any way to pop GtkImage over the DrawingArea ?

here is a code snippet I use to draw this:

void scroller_space_redraw(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) {
gdk_draw_rectangle(widget->window, widget->style->fg_gc[GTK_WIDGET_STATE (widget)], TRUE, 0, 0, widget->allocation.width, widget->allocation.height);
}

.............

scroller_space = gtk_fixed_new();
gtk_widget_show(scroller_space);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(scroller_eb), scroller_space);

scroller_background = gtk_drawing_area_new ();
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (scroller_background), "expose_event", G_CALLBACK (scroller_space_redraw), NULL);
gtk_widget_set_size_request(scroller_background, th.scrollbar1_width - 2, height - th.scrollbar1_up_height - th.scrollbar1_down_height);
gtk_fixed_put(GTK_FIXED(scroller_space), scroller_background, 1, 0);

scroller = gtk_image_new_from_file(th.scroller1);
gtk_widget_show(scroller);
gtk_fixed_put(GTK_FIXED(scroller_space), scroller, 0, 30);

.......................

thanks a lot and best regards

The Fixed container 's behavior is always strange.My solution is that you use the same widget to implement widget overide in fixed widget.
