The problem is that Gtk::HBox is also an Gtk::Widget and thus for
example Gtk::Hbox has methods like Gtk::Widget like set_manage(),
destroy_notify_(), ... . How can the compiler know if you want to use
Gtk::Widget::set_manage() or Gtk::HBox::set_manage() in your mywidget
class ? If you really want to do this, you have to make that decission
yourself for every method the compiler complains about.
class mywidget: public vwidget, public Gtk::HBox
{
public:
void magic() {x=1;}
// this are unique final overriders
void destroy_notify() { vwwidget::destroy_notify(); }
void set_manage() { Gtk::HBox::set_manage(); }
// ....
private:
int x;
};
