Hi guys,
I just wanted to confirm: as far as we know it is not possible with gtkdialog to create a program which does something with text as you enter it into a text entry box. Is that correct?
Does anyone know of anything similar to gtkdialog (something that is used to build a gui for a shell script) that this is possible with?

disciple,

You might use this coding-
Code:
<action signal="key-press-event">

so that anything keyed into a text box would be tied to an action event every time a key was pressed.

Cheers,

Pmusic uses this technique to search while typing
Code:
 <entry activates-default=\"true\" tooltip-text=\"$LOC406\" is-focus=\"true\">
  <variable>SEARCH</variable>
  <input>cat $WORKDIR/filebrowser_dir</input>
  <width>200</width><height>30</height>
  <action signal=\"key-release-event\">$APPDIR/func -search &</action>
 </entry>

You might miss a 'refresh' command, but this is done via a <progressbar>

Yes, that's what I wanted. Thanks.

I don't quite understand what you're saying there. I guess if it affects me I'll notice it Smile

Another thing:
Quote:
Drag'n drop
>> Gtkdialog supports drag'n drop from filebrowser (rox) to <entry> widget.
Code:
export test="
<entry accept=\"directory\" width-request=\"300\">
 <default>Drag a directory from Rox</default>
</entry>"
gtkdialog3 -p test

Again I don't think this is possible, but maybe I'm wrong: can we make it perform an action when something is dragged into the <entry> widget? (This is not essential for the program I want to make, but it would be nice Smile)

Does anyone know where to get a complete list of gtk-stock button image names for use in gtkdialog3? I once had a list but can't remember where I found it.

EDIT: Okay, the following list gave me what I wanted:

http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/gtk.enum.stockitems.php

One of the gtkdialog example scripts also shows all of them.

I posted a gtkdialog example that shows them with the name in a tooltip ... several pages back.

GtkDialog lets your bash script run in gui.
Here's some tips for learning more about gtkdialog.

This info is based on input from many people. I'm trying to throw it all together. Please share your knowledge.

Patriot has released his Patriot-edition of the latest gtkdialog. - See chapter 'Gtkdialog - Patriot edition'.



There is a silly little bug in the current version. I saw some indication that others may be working on an improved version so I figured I would tell anyone in that situation about it so that the correction can be in the next version.

gtkdialog won't take its input from stdin. The copy of main.c here shows where the error is. Search for "Moose:" to see the change.

Sigmund, some of your tutorial example download links seem to be dead. Some, because puppyasia repository is now gone, but your Stardust resources page also has dead download links. For example, the following example code downloads, amongst others listed there, are not available:

gtkdialog_widget_browser.tar.gz
gtkdialog_widget_tailbox.tar.gz

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone had the code for the audio player that was at http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/zigbert/gtkdialog_widget_audioplayer.tar.gz.

I've searched for it but no luck, I'm in need of some simple audio player code with all the controls for a project that I'm working on.

thanks.
Geoffrey

I have uploaded the widgets to http://www.meownplanet.net, but I could not find the tail-box...... I made a new one based on the code in Pburn

Links in main post are updated

audioplayer widget is available, but this is very old code, so you probably find more tricks if you look into /usr/local/pmusic/func_player

Hi

I use various emulators that don't include a GUI. In the past I developed a front-end + trainer for visualboyadvance-1.7.2 using REALbasic but I want to liberate my code from this proprietary language (good though it is) and create a universal emulator front-end instead.

I fiddled with Gtkdialog using the excellent information within this thread and started to assemble a prototype, but displaying a screenshot of the selected game/ROM is a requirement and pixmap doesn't refresh, so instead of ditching this wonderfully rapid RAD tool I downloaded gtkdialog-0.7.20 and added the pixmap refresh code.

[EDIT] 20110618-22:01 Gtkdialog is now in a repository (see this post).

Gtkdialog is a popular tool but the original developer appears to have abandoned it, so why doesn't somebody create a new Gtkdialog2 Sourceforge project, import gtkdialog-0.7.20 into SVN and invite everybody to add their patches? Additionally the project can include a wiki to properly document it; just a thought.

Regards,
Thunor
