Actually i am making an timer on exam simulator . My timer is working correctly but the problem is this i have to open an dialog box when timer goes to 0:00. her i am have implemented the threads to make an timer. Problem is this when timer goes to 0:00 then i segmentation fault. the gdk thread is not allowing any call to gtk widget.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Some rectify the above code an make it happen will be appreciated

It's not clear if you're using gdk_threads_enter() or not, since there's a bunch of commented-out calls and a macro instead. GTK+ is not thread-safe, what you're trying is not the proper way.
You really shouldn't need a thread for this, just use a glib timer.
You're leaking the memory from the timer_text allocation; gtk_label_set_text() does not transfer ownership of the text buffer (notice that it's const).

How to remove an image from a widget gtk c?

I am currently working on an user interface with gtk.
What I've done for now is that you can select an image from your file and display it with the button "open".
The problem is that when I open a second image it add the image to the window without removing the current one.
I would like to know how to change the displayed image when the user choose to open another image.
My code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
#include "SDL/SDL_image.h"
#include "../Threshold/delete_color.h"

//rotation(image);
SDL_SaveBMP(image, "rotation.bmp");
// Grid Detection
SDL_SaveBMP(image, "grid.bmp");
// Case detection

You can try multiple approaches.
Remove old image and add new image
Use gtk_container_get_children to retrieve your old image if present and remove it using gtk_container_remove. Then add as you have done before.
You can replace the content of the image
Again, use gtk_container_get_children to retrieve your old image if present and replace the content using gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf.
(additionally to 1 or 2 above)
You can also create an image already when you create the container and use the pointer to that image as user_data for your callback. That would remove the need for retrieving the child from your container.

How do I make a GTK3 image-in-a-window shrinkable?

I have a simple GTK3 app that displays an image from a file in a window.
When you resize the window, the image is scaled in the expose callback to fit the window.
However, once the window has grown, you can't shrink it again; the resize handles only let you make the window ever bigger.
With GTK2 it was trivial to allow grow and shrink with gtk_window_set_policy(w,1,1,1).
How can the same effect be achieved in GTK3?
Here's the ever-growing code example:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h>
gboolean resize_image(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, void *data)
{
GdkPixbuf *pixbuf = gtk_image_get_pixbuf(GTK_IMAGE(widget));
if (pixbuf == NULL)
{
g_printerr("Failed to get pixbuf\n");
return 1;
}
pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple(pixbuf,
widget->allocation.width, widget->allocation.height,
GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR);
gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf(GTK_IMAGE(widget), pixbuf);
return FALSE;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
GtkWidget *window = NULL;
GtkWidget *image = NULL;
if (argc < 2 || argc > 3)
{
g_printerr("Usage: %s <image>\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
image = gtk_image_new_from_file(argv[1]);
if (image == NULL)
{
g_printerr("Could not open \"%s\"\n", argv[1]);
return 1;
}
g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
g_signal_connect(image, "expose-event", G_CALLBACK(resize_image), NULL);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), image);
gtk_widget_show_all(GTK_WIDGET(window));
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
Eric Cecashon on the gtk-list mailing list suggests using a cairo drawing area inside a 1x1 grid container, which works fairly well:
/*
gcc -Wall da_resize.c -o da_resize `pkg-config gtk+-3.0 --cflags --libs`
Tested on Ubuntu16.04, GTK3.18.
*/
#include<gtk/gtk.h>
gboolean draw_picture(GtkWidget *da, cairo_t *cr, gpointer data)
{
gint width=gtk_widget_get_allocated_width(da);
gint height=gtk_widget_get_allocated_height(da);
GdkPixbuf *temp=gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple((GdkPixbuf*)data, width, height, GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR);
gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf(cr, temp, 0, 0);
cairo_paint(cr);
g_object_unref(temp);
return FALSE;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
GtkWidget *window=gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Resize Picture");
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 400, 400);
g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
//Needs a valid picture.
GdkPixbuf *pixbuf=gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file(argc>1 ? argv[1] : "image.jpg", NULL);
GtkWidget *da1=gtk_drawing_area_new();
gtk_widget_set_hexpand(da1, TRUE);
gtk_widget_set_vexpand(da1, TRUE);
g_signal_connect(da1, "draw", G_CALLBACK(draw_picture), pixbuf);
GtkWidget *grid=gtk_grid_new();
gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), da1, 0, 0, 1, 1);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), grid);
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
gtk_main();
g_object_unref(pixbuf);
return 0;

GTK Application doesn't quit from dialog

I'm programming my first bigger GTK+-Application and i have some troubles with exiting the application.
I want to have a Quit-Button in a dialog box, because normally you should run the program in full-screen-mode.
First I tried to call "gtk_main_quit" direktly from a signal but it also didn't work. Now i tried it through an event, the console output works but "gtk_main_quit" doesn't do anything!
Can somebody explain what I'm doing wrong? If you want to give me some tips for better coding, I will really welcome that, too!
Thanks for you help in advance!

gtk_dialog_run() enters a recursive main loop. gtk_main_quit() only exits the innermost recursion of the main loop.
I don't know if GTK+ provides a clean way to do what you want; you might have to do that yourself somehow.
To delete gtk_dialog_run() and gtk_widget_destroy() like under the code is available to quit dialog button.
if (event-> type == GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS)
{
gtk_widget_show_all(dialog);
/*

}
It seems that the reason is running dialog is blocking to quit app.

Make sure your GTK+ version is 3.2 or later, since that's when that particular function was added.

GTK Timer - How to make a timer within a frame

How do g_timer_new works?
is it possible to do a
char timerz[50];
GTimer *timer
g_timer_start(GTimer *timer);
strcpy(timerz,(g_timer_elapsed(GTimer *timer))
Or what Could I do to have a timer in a gtk_frame???
Have a nice day! :D
You can use g_timeout_add or g_timeout_add_seconds which will call a timeout function at regular interval. Please note that this timeout function can be delayed due to event processing and should not be relied on for precise timing. Check this developer page for more info on main loop.
Here is an example to get you started (you can improvise over this). In the example the timeout is set in seconds thus using g_timeout_add_seconds, use g_timeout_add if you need millisecond precision.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

gtk_main_quit();
return;
}

_label_update(gpointer data)
{
GtkLabel *label = (GtkLabel*)data;
char buf[256];
memset(&buf, 0x0, 256);
snprintf(buf, 255, "Time elapsed: %d secs", ++sec_expired);
gtk_label_set_label(label, buf);
return continue_timer;
}
static void
_start_timer (GtkWidget *button, gpointer data)
{
(void)button;/*Avoid compiler warnings*/
GtkWidget *label = data;

g_timeout_add_seconds(1, _label_update, label);
start_timer = TRUE;

Hope this helps!
vbox = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 2);
In this line, "vbox" needs to be replaced with "box".
int main(int argc, char **argv);
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
