GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 109143
GtkMessageDialog.label should be public
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I believe that the label field should be a public part of the API -- it is currently marked as private by the gtk-doc markup. I think this should be public so that I can access the label directly and do useful things such as gtk_label_set_markup(). The alternative of course it to add gtk_message_dialog_get_label(), but that becomes an API change instead of a comment movement :)
Making the member public would be an api change as well, and we generally move away from public members and towards additional interfaces. In fact, there is already a bug about adding a markup-taking constructor to message dialogs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 65501 ***
