I learn something very usefull with notebook from here:
/usr/share/doc/gtkdialog/examples/notebook/notebook_advanced
I uncomment the dump line and I know some trick, there is in the inputfile:
0 --> tab0
1 --> tab1
...
here is my code:

Here's a simple example to show how the refresh button works.

Just enter text in Entry box and click 'REFRESH'.

The entry goes to the
head of a text file that in displayed in comboboxtext widget

The refresh button code looks like this. Add another action tag line and
the refresh button could do some useful function.

[don570]

More examples of practical refreshing...

This example(suggested by Nathan F) shows the contents of a dot file in /root.
The user then selects a file on the list and then
a function can be run by clicking button.

To make the comboboxtext items a command was used

[don570]

Here is another refresh example using comboboxtext.
The letters of alphabet are the items. Choosing a letter will
refresh the righthand side list of applications found installed.
Note the first letter of application.

Then a selection of the list can be further used by a function.
(Click on button 'refresh' to see what is possible with selection)

Here is the same example as before but instead of a comboboxtext widget
a list widget is used. It then refreshes a tree .
A selection of the tree can then be further processed by
clicking on the button.

Hi don570, I am very interested about refresh. How to refresh the label of button? Until this time, i use input file, and then i make an svg file to change the button's label. something like this:

[Nathan F]

A simple method would be to make two buttons and use show/hide actions to hide the first and show the second, or vice versa. I've used it on a few other widgets and it works pretty flawlessly.

The only drawback comes in with large groups of widgets, where there will be a speed and startup penalty due to the sheer size of it all. Not a problem for just one or two widgets.

[don570]

to recobayu : You should have given j an initial value so that
something would have shown in that button... but
apparently gtkdialog has no method to change a script variable
used by a widget

___________________________________________________

I looked at Thunor's examples and I spotted a toggle button example.

One button sends a signal to another button to show and hide.

I have simplified the code as much as possible. Look at the
code to see if it is useful. Togglebutton official page

[don570]

I thought up this wacky example by combining a Toggle button with
a svg image and another button that is refreshed.

By clicking on the right hand icon the number on the left hand button
increases by two. This means that only an odd number will show.

This example restricts the size of buttons so the text appears
normal sized.

[recobayu]

To appear the text in normal size, we can use group in svg. this is my example

Hi guys; So much info. and no way to access it all.!

I`m writing a GtkDialog script for the first time in a very long while.
I don`t like it much, but it does work with all of the Puppy variations.

# I can`t remember how to get a button to close the dialog with an: <action>
EXIT doesn`t seem to work, nether does most examples I have.

[SFR]

To close the dialog right after pressing a button, right?

[sunburnt]

And Greetings to you SFR; I thank you kindly for your help.
I now recall this bit of GtkDialog code thanks to you. I have the menu gui working great.

The menu will be usable for downloading binary or source packages and setting them up.

[don570]

I have a page devoted to the exit variable in the
Gtkdialog Tutorial Manual
