It works ok in 0.8.1 too.

Thanks

if my memory serves me well I remember reading in the gtkdialog website that it could be possible to insert gtkdialog guis into C code. it seems that now I cannot find that reference anymore.

can anybody give me a very simple example of it?

[vovchik]

Dear ariel,

Here is example from thunor's sources.

WIth kind regards,
vovchik

Dear guys,

While I was at it, I did two examples of the c-embedded in BaCon. They might be useful for somebody....

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thanks vovchik I browsed neither all the 40 odd pages of the thread nor the sources you mentioned. the examples look interesting.

I have gtkdialog subversion 375 installed along with vte-0.28.2-i486.pet and I am getting a segmentation fault trying to run the terminal example.
Am I missing something or did something get changed in the progress of development of gtkdialog?

I feel like the motley fool complaining about things without checking my puppy for the latest version of gtkdialog!
I found that I had installed an early version and after installing the later version, the terminal example worked fine.
So now, I will be able to use it.

Bugreport

Trying to sort out the bugs for pMusic 3, I have met another gtkdialog-issue.
While the previous mentioned (use reorderable="true" in <tree>) is not documented in the gtkdialog reference guide, this one is:
Somehow, hidden <entry> does show up.
This happens only if <entry> is set invisible in the first place. After executing 'show' and then 'hide', the <entry> is not visible anymore.

Image shows what user meets at first run of pMusic 3.
The search-dock is hidden and contains an <entry> - the one you can see over the scrollbar.




To simplify and make it all clearer, I have made a small test-script.

What does the <input> control of the <menu> widget?
I could not find any example, and tried both to set label and icon via the <input> directive....

This is probably way off the line, but I have several times wished this behavior, so must ask......

Would it be possible to combine the builtin functions with other <actions>. Something like:

[technosaurus]

I haven't tried but would something like this pseudo work

disable_bitrate_if_fmt()
[ "$FORMAT" = "$1" ] && export BITRATEVISIBLE=disabled
}

<action>disable_bitrate_if_fmt flac</action>
...
<visible>BITRATEVISIBLE</visible>

I'm often wrong, but I think <input> is the only thing you can refresh after the gui is loaded.

That is how <checkbox> and <togglebutton> have different usage. The first refreshes state, the latter refreshes icon.

EDIT
It is often not a question IF you can solve it, but HOW. Too many workarounds make my code harder to maintain.

It is of course possible to disable a widget from a non-builtin function but it requires some code... One way is to use an invisible checkbox to disable/enable while the function changes status of the checkbox's input file.

[zigbert]

I have no idea if this is a bug, a limitation or just how stuff are supposed to work. - But I will mention it anyway

<comboboxentry> is only returning the signal for key-release-event.
Other signals seems to be 'dead'
