Here's another top tip:

A text widget that has space-expand and space-fill set to true can be used as a spacer to push neighbouring widgets in certain directions.

Here the spacer text is "[]" so you can see it -- drag the window out and watch the button.

Hello Everyone,

I have a question, Has anyone done hyper-links in gtkdialog? If so how do you go about doing it.

What I would like to do is link from one program to another. Hit a word in one program to show the answer in another program.

Any help would be great thanks.


Cheers

Hi don570,

Will take a look and see if that is what I am looking for.


Cheers

EDIT: Hi don570 took a look not what I was looking for thanks, but I did remember that what I need is just a button to go to one to another program.

Just need to look at my code.

Cheers

Yes-No box with color

The Yes-No box in Xdialog is rather limited and the buttons
don't actually say 'Yes-No'



So I wrote a script to be a replacement to the Xdialog Yes-No box.
Here's a picture of the result.

[don570]

continuing......

The script has been made as general as possible.
The script first creats a file in /root.
Then the Yes-No box appears and asks if you want to overwrite the file
with different text. 'Yes' results in overwriting of the file and the
window closes. You can check to see if the file has been overwritten.

When the user clicks 'No' an alternate action is possible.
It is of course possible to have the 'No' button have one action

EDIT: I changed the script from using an if statement to a case statement.
This clearly shows that three posibilities are possible

1) YES
2) NO
3) Click on corner close box will cause cancellation

Hi everyone,
I play a little thing about gtkdialog.
finally, I make a 'Limukstart'. with gtktheme wdz8.1 from here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=671393#671393
my startmenu tobe like this:

but i still have a problem. I can't use mouse scroll to scroll horizontally with gtkdialog unless my pointer over the hscrollbar. Is possible to scroll horizontal with mouse? How?
Thanks

[smokey01]

I needed to change the following line:
*) gtkdialog4 --program=MAIN_DIALOG ;;

Notice I added the 4 after gtkdialog.

Also the file needs to be renamed by removing the .gz and made executable.

I didn't get a horizontal scroll bar as my screen is quite wide.

[recobayu]

you are right, smokey01. thanks for your respond. I linked gtkdialog4 to gtkdialog. i reupload limukstart. i still can't scroll horizontally by mouse unless my pointer over the scroller. how?

The vscale widget supports action signals as described inn the references

[SFR]

@Recobayu
I think there's a reason why it works this way - if you would had both horizontal AND vertical scrollbars at the same time, they would be scrolled simultaneously.
But horizontal scrolling works fine when I use touchpad ('Horizontal Edge Scroll' enabled).

@Zigbert
Is this what you mean? (see screenshot)
If so, leaving the default "value-changed" signal makes the given action executed properly while moving slider:

[zigbert]

SFR
I didn't have the 'value-changed' signal, but I had 'update-policy' defined.
- Now gone, and all works perfectly.


Thanks a lot!

There are too many hacked ways of getting the screen width,height and depth that make assumptions on a specific version of xrandr, xwininfo and their output format and the string manipulation tends to be pretty slow so I wrote a small and fast little helper in C here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=685996#685996
let me know if there are any other PITA parameters that are often needed and I can add them.
