Alternative to the above, all I need is some indication that the remote computer is online. I don't really need a chat client. When both computers are online each should be visible to each other. I guess a poke function would be useful just to let the other party know you want to communicate.

Thanks

Goingnuts adapted my irc client to use netcat, I was just using Xdialog, but he may have used something else as well.

Please help to master script.
There can be somebody collected a string of arguments from the program gtkdialog?

Here that I can't master in bash-gtkdialog:
#!/bin/bash
GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

if [ "$COMBOBOX1" == "All" ]; then
COMMAND1=
##sprintf( COMMANDSTRING, "scrot -d %s -e 'mv $f ~%s'", COMBOBOX2, FILE );
else COMMAND1="-s"
##sprintf( COMMANDSTRING, "scrot -d %s -s -e 'mv $f ~%s'", COMBOBOX2, FILE );
echo "COMMAND1= $COMMAND1"
COMMAND2="$COMBOBOX2"
echo "COMMAND2= $COMMAND2"
COMMANDSTRING="-d $COMMAND2 $COMMAND1 -e 'mv $f ~'"
export COMMANDSTRING
echo "COMMANDSTRING= $COMMANDSTRING"
echo "End of export variables."
fi

export MAIN_DIALOG='
<window title="SCReenshOT screen-grabber">
<vbox>
... ... ...
I pass the insignificant
... ... ...
It is necessary to connect variable COMMANDSTRING here to what:
<button>
<label>ACCEPT</label>
<variable>GOMMANDSRING</variable>
<action>echo "Start of scrot:"</action>
<action>cat [ echo $COMMANDSTRING ] | scrot </action>
</button>

That is to transfer to function <action> a string of arguments for scrot (SCReen-shOT).

All other works: the directory for saving is selected, setting selected by the user are stored to an output from the program.

Commented out in the beginning of a file of a line ## sprintf (...) it that works in bash, but isn't accepted in gtkdialog and SO it would be desirable...

Corrected data to my previous post

I have read your post some times to get the grip of the problem....
Is it this line that won't work?

Code: Select all

<action>cat [ echo $COMMANDSTRING ] | scrot </action>

If you find gtkdialog sensitive to your bash code, remember, you can always place bash code in an external function. Like:

Code: Select all

call() {
 cat "$COMMANDSTRING" | scrot
}

[...]

<action>call </action>

Thanks for attention, Sigmund.
I read some hours about bash-scripting successively.
After that has corrected the program text:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

funccommand () {
if [ "$COMBOBOX1" == "All" ]; then
COMMAND1= 
else COMMAND1="-s"
echo "COMMAND1= $COMMAND1"
COMMAND2="$COMBOBOX2"
echo "COMMAND2= $COMMAND2"
COMMANDSTRING="-d $COMMAND2 $COMMAND1 -e 'mv $f ~'"
echo "COMMANDSTRING= $COMMANDSTRING"
echo "End of export variables."
fi
}

export MAIN_DIALOG='
... ... ...

	<button>
		<label>ACCEPT</label>
		<variable>GOMMANDSRING</variable>
		<action>echo "Start of scrot:"</action>
		<action>funccommand $COMBOBOX1 $COMBOBOX2</action>
		<action>echo "COMMANDSTRING= $COMMANDSTRING"</action>
		<action>cat [ echo $COMMANDSTRING ] | scrot </action>
				</button>

In bash-script it works:

Code: Select all

sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~$ funccommand () {
> if [ "$COMBOBOX1" == "All" ]; then
> COMMAND1= 
> else COMMAND1="-s"
> echo "COMMAND1= $COMMAND1"
> COMMAND2="$COMBOBOX2"
> echo "COMMAND2= $COMMAND2"
> COMMANDSTRING="-d $COMMAND2 $COMMAND1 -e 'mv $f ~'"
> echo "COMMANDSTRING= $COMMANDSTRING"
> echo "End of export variables."
> fi
> }
sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~$ COMBOBOX2="5"
sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~$ COMBOBOX1="Window"
sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~$ GOMMANDSRING=""
sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~$ funccommand $COMBOBOX1 $COMBOBOX2
COMMAND1= -s
COMMAND2= 5
COMMANDSTRING= -d 5 -s -e 'mv  ~'
End of export variables.
sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~$

And in gtkdialog isn't works:

Code: Select all

Start of scrot:
sh: funccommand: command not found
COMMANDSTRING= 
sh: scrot: command not found
cat: [: file or dir missing
cat: echo: file or dir missing
cat: ]: file or dir missing
COMBOBOX1="Window"
COMBOBOX2="5"
FILE="/home/sklimkin/projects/gtkdialog/scrotdlg-bash2/dialog"
GOMMANDSRING=""
EXIT="Cancel"
sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~/projects/gtkdialog/scrotdlg-bash2$

gtkdialog doesn't find my new function funccommand ()

Code: Select all

sh: funccommand: command not found

Problem in this string:

Code: Select all

<action>funccommand $COMBOBOX1 $COMBOBOX2</action>

I want to understand how correctly to cause external functions from gtkdialog.
Probably such calls are inaccessible in prior versions gtkdialog
At me now:

Code: Select all

sklimkin@sklimkin-desktop:~$ gtkdialog -v
gtkdialog version 0.8.0 (C) 2003-2007 Laszlo Pere, 2011 Thunor

Also isn't works:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

call() {
funccommand $COMBOBOX1 $COMBOBOX2
echo "call_COMMANDSTRING= $COMMANDSTRING"
cat "$COMMANDSTRING" | scrot
}

funccommand () {
if [ "$COMBOBOX1" == "All" ]; then
COMMAND1= 
else COMMAND1="-s"
echo "COMMAND1= $COMMAND1"
COMMAND2="$COMBOBOX2"
echo "COMMAND2= $COMMAND2"
COMMANDSTRING="-d $COMMAND2 $COMMAND1 -e 'mv $f ~'"
echo "COMMANDSTRING= $COMMANDSTRING"
echo "End of export variables."
fi
}

export MAIN_DIALOG='

	<button>
		<label>ACCEPT</label>
		<variable>GOMMANDSRING</variable>
		<action>echo "Start of scrot:"</action>
		<action>call </action>
	</button>

Thankful in advance for the correct helps.

I have tried to use it to increase the font in the reader that I am making with the edit widget.

Don't know if you can use it in the edit widget or not.

This is my code so far

GtkDialog + scrot = Graphic-interface

Thanks for the help, mr technosaurus!

There was a task to make the graphic interface with the program scrot.
It is for this purpose convenient and pleasant to use gtkdialog and bash.
The variant with a call of additional function works.

Here that has turned out:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash 
## or /bin/sh 

funccommand () {
if [ "$COMBOBOX1" == "All" ]; then
COMMAND1="-m"
else COMMAND1="-s"
fi
## !!! Attention: This works in scrot ver. >= 0.8 only !!!
if [ "$COMBOBOX1" == "Window" ]; then
COMMAND1="-u"
fi
COMMAND2="$COMBOBOX2"
COMMANDSTRING="$COMMAND1-b-d $COMMAND2"
cd "$FILE"
scrot "$COMMANDSTRING"
}

export MAIN_DIALOG="
<window>
	<vbox>
		<text>
			<label>SCReenshOT  screen-grabber</label>
		</text>
		<frame Command button EXIT>
			<hbox>
				<button cancel></button>
			</hbox>
		</frame>
		<frame User-settings>
			<hbox>
				<vbox>
					<text>
						<label>Select grab-mode</label>
					</text>
					<combobox>
						<variable>COMBOBOX1</variable>
						<item>All</item>
						<item>Window</item>
						<item>Area</item>
						<action>save:COMBOBOX1</action>
					</combobox>
				</vbox>
				<vbox>
					<text>
						<label>Time-delay-sec</label>
					</text>
					<combobox>

						<action>save:COMBOBOX2</action>
					</combobox>
				</vbox>
				<button>
					<label>ACCEPT</label>
					<action>$0 func</action>
				</button>
			</hbox>
		</frame>
		<frame Select DIR for save screenshot>
			<chooser>
				<height>200</height>
				<width>200</width>
				<variable>FILE</variable>
				<default>/home/</default>
				<action>save:FILE</action>
				<action>$2= $FILE</action>
			</chooser>
		</frame>

case $1 in
	func) funccommand $2 ;;

tag for closewindow

Posted: Thu 15 Nov 2012, 16:48

by sklimkin

I read old authoring gtkdialog help:

6.2 Widget manipulation
6.2.1 'Closewindow:NAME'
The command closes the named window opened by the 'Launch:' command. The program remain active if there are more windows active.
6.2.2 'Launch:NAME'
The command opens a new window using the environment variable 'Widget'.

For some reasons I can't use tags:

Code: Select all

<action type="launch">DIALOG1</action>
<action type="closewindow">DIALOG1</action>

I use and It works:

Code: Select all

<action>Launch:DIALOG1</action>

And it isn't works:

Code: Select all

<action>Closewindow:DIALOG1</action>

Why?
Who can help?

yaf-splash tip

Posted: Sat 22 Dec 2012, 18:55

by don570

Here's a tip....

Code: Select all

<action>yaf-splash -border false  -center -close box -bg orange -fontsize large -text "  John's  message
here   "  & </action>

The above code isn't allowed for the action of a button in a gtkdialog script,
because the text is on two lines.

A way around this problem is to define a variable at beginning of script
such as

Code: Select all

export MESSAGE=" John's message 
here "

Then the button's action becomes one line...

Code: Select all

<action>yaf-splash -border false  -center -close box -bg orange -fontsize large -text " $MESSAGE  "  & </action>

_______________________________________________

I found that if Zigbert's localisation method is used then
MESSAGE=" John's message
here "

is all that is needed. In other words the exporting of the
variable isn't needed.

________________________________________

EDIT: I couldn't get this method of using yaf-splash in a button action
to work when there was a gettext text string

.

Happy New Year "dialoguers"

I'm trying to make a simple GUI for pet installation (below), but I can not find the way to pass the fileselect choice to petget (apparently did not study enough

)

I appreciate any suggestions

Hi mavrothal,

This works

Code: Select all

<button>
     <label>"Install"</label>
     <action>/usr/local/petget/petget $EXEC</action>
     <action>exit:apply</action>
   </button>

or better yet, the full path isn't needed,

Code: Select all

<button>
     <label>"Install"</label>
     <action>petget $EXEC</action>
     <action>exit:apply</action>
   </button>

Here's a nice tip:

Activating a menuitem processes the actions within the menuitem immediately and then returns to the activater.

Activating a button returns to the activater and then processes the actions within the button later when the button has finished animating.

So, a hidden menuitem is a good place to store lots of code that can be called (activated) from multiple places -- it can be thought of as a subroutine of gtkdialog pseudo-XML.

Here's an example that demonstrates the speed difference and the processing order (watch stdout in terminal):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
