Could you help me with mine program electricity for puppy linux I'm doing. I want to do the calculations by pressing "enter" instead of pressing the button "calculate". Could you do that for me?. Now I send the files.
I'd also like to know how to make programs in a single window with multiple tabs, each program in each tab.

[smokey01]

Walter, to make tabs in a single window use the <notebook> command. The syntax can be found on the first page of this thread.

This should give you a clue how to use the enter key to accept input.

#! /bin/bash

export DIALOG='
<window title="Enter password" icon-name="gtk-dialog-question">
  <vbox>
    <hbox>
      <text>
        <label>Label:</label>
      </text>
      <entry activates-default="true">
        <variable>PASS0</variable>
      <visible>password</visible>
      </entry>
    </hbox>
    <hbox>
      <button cancel></button>
      <button can-default="true" has-default="true" use-stock="true">
        <label>gtk-ok</label>
      </button>
    </hbox>
  </vbox>
</window>
'

eval $(gtkdialog --program=DIALOG)
echo "$PASS0"

[zigbert]

To activate <entry> from enter-key you could use the 'activate' signal.

[walter leonardo]

Use the function of the enter key and if it works, but only in a "Calcular" button and I want to get all the buttons work in "calcular"

As you would?

[walter leonardo]

Now use the function tabs in my program and it worked well with the function of the enter key, but the enter key works only see in every window. What would be the problem?

[smokey01]

Can anyone offer a simple gtkdialog GUI for netcat.

I would like to be able to run netcat in backgrounded listening mode when I start the computer. If someone was to call me using netcat, my system should open a chat window so the caller and callee can chat.

It's easy enough to do it in two terminal on the local and remote computer.

EG: listening computer:
netcat -lp <port>

EG: Calling computer:
netcat 192.168.x.x <port>

Both terminals will connect and you can chat in the terminal windows.

This can also be done on a WAN but you need to do some port forwarding.

I would also be happy just to use the terminal/console as long as it is backgrounded until invoked by the caller. I just don't want in in the tray until it's required.

Thanks

[smokey01]

Alternative to the above, all I need is some indication that the remote computer is online. I don't really need a chat client. When both computers are online each should be visible to each other. I guess a poke function would be useful just to let the other party know you want to communicate.

Thanks

ping?

Please help to master script.
There can be somebody collected a string of arguments from the program gtkdialog?

Here that I can't master in bash-gtkdialog:
#!/bin/bash
GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

if [ "$COMBOBOX1" == "All" ]; then
COMMAND1=
##sprintf( COMMANDSTRING, "scrot -d %s -e 'mv $f ~%s'", COMBOBOX2, FILE );
else COMMAND1="-s"
##sprintf( COMMANDSTRING, "scrot -d %s -s -e 'mv $f ~%s'", COMBOBOX2, FILE );
echo "COMMAND1= $COMMAND1"
COMMAND2="$COMBOBOX2"
echo "COMMAND2= $COMMAND2"
COMMANDSTRING="-d $COMMAND2 $COMMAND1 -e 'mv $f ~'"
export COMMANDSTRING
echo "COMMANDSTRING= $COMMANDSTRING"
echo "End of export variables."
fi

export MAIN_DIALOG='
<window title="SCReenshOT screen-grabber">
<vbox>
... ... ...
I pass the insignificant
... ... ...
It is necessary to connect variable COMMANDSTRING here to what:
<button>
<label>ACCEPT</label>
<variable>GOMMANDSRING</variable>
<action>echo "Start of scrot:"</action>
<action>cat [ echo $COMMANDSTRING ] | scrot </action>
</button>

That is to transfer to function <action> a string of arguments for scrot (SCReen-shOT).

All other works: the directory for saving is selected, setting selected by the user are stored to an output from the program.

Commented out in the beginning of a file of a line ## sprintf (...) it that works in bash, but isn't accepted in gtkdialog and SO it would be desirable...
