This is the eventbox inside another eventbox border trick using some of the code from Sigmund's menu prototype just to illustrate what you can do (it might be of interest to somebody, it might not):

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I didn't find anywhere else to go…

Let's say that I create a window with a few items on it. One of them is a text field (I think it's called ”editor” in Gtkdialog language…) and there are also two combo boxes and an ”add button”.

Now, as a user, I want to select something in the combo boxes, let's say a name, like ”John Doe”, and a musical instrument like ”Guitar”. The next thing the user is expected to do is to click Add.

The Add button is supposed to add some text to the text field (”Editor”), keeping the window open for further actions. In this case, the text added could be something like:

I've discovered some unexpected behavior. (at least under bash 4.1.0(1) as of gtkdialog 0.8.4 r503M) and am posting for feedback...

PROBLEM

GtkDialog

bash

I have built an app that does a simple right click copy of a
file or folder, but I found a strange bug.

Reference:
copy-fast-1.4.pet

I believe that there is
an incompatibility with pwidgets and 'visible' tag

I use an invisible entry box to form the 'Add' button.
Here is the code. See 'visible="false"'

When I tested on Precise NOP note that the invisible entry box
is visible . The app can still be used.

@don570, same result with the latest wary and racy. (Extra box appearing.)

Hmmm, I tested on Wolx which is Wary 5 (I believe) but has the
openbox window manager and it worked. I assumed that there wasn't
a problem with Wary5

Drat! A lot more work.

Dear Don,

Just so you know. Your v. 1.4 works fine with Lucid and Thunor's latest gtkdialog. No invisible window showing for me, but then my gtk theme fills the background with a stippled pixbuf, so my observation regarding visibility/invisibility may not be too universal.

With thanks and kind regards,
vovchik

I tested on wary 5.4.9 and it's fine.
(see image)

That's why I think pwidgets is involved.

Thunor,

I love GtkDialog 0.8.3 and am working on a fairly large conversion application using it.

In the process, I'm putting together documentation regarding variable passing and was hoping you could confirm if the following statement is correct and straighten me me out if not?

"On startup, GtkDialog processes all <input> and <output> directives for all widgets before processing any <action> directives for any widgets."

If this is all covered somewhere, I haven't been a able to find it. It has taken several days of trial and error to reach this point.

Happy Coding!

Hi All,
I want to ask a question. Now I make a simple menu, but i have a problem in adding button. Can I add 4 buttons when I input "4" in entrybox and press enter?
Something trick I do is close gtkdialog and then show new window that has 4 buttons. But, do anyone know something better?
Thank you.
