Gtkdialog Tutorial Manual

[smokey01]

don,

Great tutorial. I've noticed that it doesn't display the following image:
Screen-30.png as It appears to be hard coded unlike the rest of the images.

Have you got a good real time example for the progress bar.

I'm trying to get a display when transferring files with ncat. The following strings work fine in a terminal.

To send----> ncat --send-only xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port < /root/filename
To listen--> ncat -l 192.168.0.2 port > filename

How would you convert this to a ProgressBar in gtkdialog?

Thanks

To Smokey:

I'll look into the progress bar. I've never used it myself. Instead
I put a yaf-splash or gtkdialog splash screen at the top of screen
to remind the user that processing is being done in background.

Then kill command can be used to close the warning window.

The problem is that only a few distros have yaf-splash installed.
Carolina doesn't., but it has gtkdialog-splash

Here's an example in Bulldog finder

Code: Select all

yaf-splash -timeout 0  -placement top  -bg orange  -outline 0 -margin 10 -text "$(gettext 'Examining files, please wait...')" & PID=$!

and then kill with

Code: Select all

kill $PID

don570; Thanks for the: "PID=$!" I`ve not seen that, it beats parsing ps for the pid.

I posted a download Xdialog progress utility here:

Any improvements or suggestions are welcome. I`ll be posting a new one Thursday - Friday.

new version 2.3
- changed /root to $HOME and sh to bash
-I changed to this example to show an interesting input directive

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

export MAIN_DIALOG='
<vbox border-width="20">
       <hbox>
            <text>
            <input>[ -d $HOME ] && echo "I found folder" && echo -e "\nYou bet I did" || echo -e "\n No, I did not find the folder"</input>
            </text>
       </hbox>
       </vbox>
'
gtkdialog --program MAIN_DIALOG

version 2.4

I came up with a new example for the input directive page

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

echo 5 > /tmp/value.tmp

export MAIN_DIALOG='
<vbox border-width="20">
       <hbox>
            <text>
            <input>[  $(cat /tmp/value.tmp) -gt "8"  ]  &&  echo  TRUE || echo FALSE </input>
            </text>
       </hbox>
</vbox>
'
gtkdialog --program MAIN_DIALOG
