Detailed Description

Base class for a main application window. Provides a menu bar, a standard File menu with about and quit items, and a Gtk::HPaned, a horizontally divided widget, as main widget. In the left area (Gtk: pack2()) a "controls box" is added, where you can add goGUI::Control widgets using addControl(). The left area (Gtk: pack1()) is left blank and you can add stuff to it if you need it. You can use something like getPaned().pack1(my_very_own_widget) to add you widget to the left side of the HPaned. To add new menus, you can do something like this:

 goGUI::MainWindow mw;
 ...
 Gtk::Menu* menu = mw.addMenu ("Help");
 Gtk::MenuItem* mi = mw.addMenuItem (menu, "Read documentation");
 mi->signal_activated().connect (sigc::mem_fun (my_widget_instance, &my_widget_class::my_void_callback));
 ...
