gtkdialog - choose one of n [SOLVED]

#1 Post by GatorDog »

.
[See post 7 & 8 for a solution]

I read through the gtkdialog tips thread and was able to get started.
I want to be able to select one of the three entry fields by clicking
the radiobutton next to the field. The first two fields are not editable.
The third field is editable. I've tried several ways to set the defalult status
of the radiobuttons, but they are all selected. This is what I have so far.

rod

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

Original_Name="Original"
Alternate_Name="Alternate"

export One_Of='
<window title="Pick One OF">
<frame>
 <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Original Name:   </label>
    </text>

  <entry editable="false">
    <default>'"$Original_Name"'</default>
    <variable>selected_name</variable>
  </entry>

  <radiobutton label="">
    <variable>radio_button_1</variable>
    <default>"true"</default>
  </radiobutton>
 </hbox>



 <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Alternate Name:</label>
    </text>

  <entry editable="false">
    <default>'"$Alternate_Name"'</default>
    <variable>selected_name</variable>
  </entry>

  <radiobutton label="">
    <variable>radio_button_2</variable>
    <default>"false"</default>
  </radiobutton>
 </hbox>



 <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Enter A Name:   </label>
    </text>

  <entry>
    <default>Enter New Name</default>
    <variable>selected_name</variable>
  </entry>

  <radiobutton label="">
    <variable>radio_button_3</variable>
    <default>"false"</default>
  </radiobutton>
 </hbox>


 <hbox>
  <button ok></button>
  <button cancel></button>
 </hbox>
</frame>
</window>
'

I=$IFS; IFS=""
for STATEMENTS in  $(gtkdialog3 --program=One_Of); do
   eval $STATEMENTS
done
IFS=$I

echo $selected_name

What if you use

Code: Select all

<default>0</default>
? I remember having a bit of trouble with that. Also try without the quotes...

they need to be nested inside the same hbox, vbox, frame or whatever (I think)

Radiobuttons (which belongs together) has to be defined inside the same <hbox> or <vbox>. Your approach is wrong and should be reconstructed to

Code: Select all

<hbox>
 <vbox>
  <entry>...</entry>
  <entry>...</entry>
  <entry>...</entry>
 </vbox>
 <vbox>
  <radiobutton>...</radiobutton>
  <radiobutton>...</radiobutton>
  <radiobutton>...</radiobutton>
 </vbox>
</hbox>
You might want to define the height of the radiobuttons to get them as tall as the entries. <radiobutton height-request="22">. 22 is a guess.

If no <default> is set, the first radiobutton is true. Else set one of the radiobuttons to <default>true</default>. The other has to be set <default>false</default>

Thank you Dougal, sc0ttman, and zigbert. This got me a lot closer.
Changed code to:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

Original_Name="Original"
Alternate_Name="Alternate"

export One_Of='
<window title="Pick One OF">
<frame>
<hbox>
  <vbox>
    <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Original Name:   </label>
    </text>

    <entry editable="false">
      <default>'"$Original_Name"'</default>
      <variable>selected_name</variable>
    </entry>
    </hbox>
    
    <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Alternate Name:</label>
    </text>

    <entry editable="false">
      <default>'"$Alternate_Name"'</default>
      <variable>selected_name</variable>
    </entry>
    </hbox>
    
    <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Enter A Name:   </label>
    </text>

    <entry>
      <default>Enter New Name</default>
      <variable>selected_name</variable>
    </entry>
    </hbox>

  </vbox>

  <vbox>
    <radiobutton height-request="25" label="">
      <variable>radio_button_1</variable>
      <default>"true"</default>
    </radiobutton>

    <radiobutton height-request="25" label="">
      <variable>radio_button_2</variable>
      <default>false</default>
    </radiobutton>

    <radiobutton height-request="25" label="">
      <variable>radio_button_3</variable>
      <default>false</default>
    </radiobutton>

  </vbox>
</hbox>

<hbox>
  <button ok></button>
  <button cancel></button>
</hbox>

</frame>
</window>
'

I=$IFS; IFS=""
for STATEMENTS in  $(gtkdialog3 --program=One_Of); do
   eval $STATEMENTS
done
IFS=$I

echo $selected_name
The radiobuttons work correctly. Now, how are the buttons connected to
the entry and output as a variable?

Also there is now about a dozen leading characters prefixing each line.

GatorDog,

You might consider just making a combobox with the three categories followed by a text entry box.

The combobox variable and the text entry box variable would then be linked.

Cheers,

Is the following is the thing what you wanted?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

Original_Name="Original"
Alternate_Name="Alternate"

export One_Of='
<window title="Pick One OF">
<frame>
<hbox>
  <vbox>
    <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Original Name:   </label>
    </text>

    <entry editable="false">
      <default>'"$Original_Name"'</default>
      <variable>selected_name_1</variable>
    </entry>
    </hbox>
   
    <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Alternate Name:</label>
    </text>

    <entry editable="false">
      <default>'"$Alternate_Name"'</default>
      <variable>selected_name_2</variable>
    </entry>
    </hbox>
   
    <hbox>
    <text>
      <label>Enter A Name:   </label>
    </text>

    <entry>
      <default>Enter New Name</default>
      <variable>selected_name_3</variable>
    </entry>
    </hbox>

  </vbox>

  <vbox>
    <radiobutton height-request="25" label="">
      <variable>radio_button_1</variable>
      <default>"true"</default>
    </radiobutton>

    <radiobutton height-request="25" label="">
      <variable>radio_button_2</variable>
      <default>false</default>
    </radiobutton>

    <radiobutton height-request="25" label="">
      <variable>radio_button_3</variable>
      <default>false</default>
    </radiobutton>

  </vbox>
</hbox>

<hbox>
  <button ok></button>
  <button cancel></button>
</hbox>

</frame>
</window>

Code: Select all

test "$radio_button_1" = "true" && echo "$selected_name_1"
test "$radio_button_2" = "true" && echo "$selected_name_2"
test "$radio_button_3" = "true" && echo "$selected_name_3"
Thank you akash_rawal. This works fine. I had thought there might
be some XML'ish way to connect the button and entry field. Or an "action"
to set the variable. But working it with bash is straight forward.


For those learning bash as well as gtkdialog, this may help you a little more
in isolating and using the variable.

Code: Select all

if [ "$EXIT" == "OK" ]; then
   test "$radio_button_1" = "true" && selected_name="$selected_name_1"
   test "$radio_button_2" = "true" && selected_name="$selected_name_2"
   test "$radio_button_3" = "true" && selected_name="$selected_name_3" 
else
   echo "Name select aborted"
   # do cleanup if necessary
   exit
fi

echo $selected_name
