MAXWIDGETS

...when I was working on the widget packing I noticed that the maximum number of widgets Gtkdialog accepted was 256 (16^) so I've increased it to 529 (23^)....

I've since realised that MAXWIDGETS is a limit placed upon a container (vbox, hbox, frame), not the entire project, so you can currently have 529 widgets per container which isn't so bad.

The project limit I've just discovered is 2048.

This is just for the record so that everyone is aware of this.

Regards,
Thunor

Thunor,
I just finished catching up on this thread and it's great what you've done, really excellent work both the features and documentation -- I see you've also added the html docs, which I thought of suggesting (I hope you deleted the old texinfo stuff...).

I do have one nitpick, though: your examples are really good and detailed, but have one problem: readability.
Since you use functions to auto-generate the pseudo-XML code, when an example is run it is not possible to look at the bit of code that produces a certain widget (and copy-paste it...), which I consider to be one of the main points of the examples.

I see two ways to change this:
- just put the static code in the scripts
- make the example scripts support a -d/--dump switch, which will only require a small change from
Code:
$GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG
to
Code:
case $1 in
-d|--dump) echo "MAIN_DIALOG" ;;
*) $GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG ;;
esac


Other than that, I'll have to wait until the next time I use gtkdialog (and learn all the new widgets...) to see if I have any more suggestions... (but if you get bored and aren't listening to Hell, JWM needs some love!)

Dear puppians,

I am wondering whether any of you can show me, in a simple and understandable way, how to display elapsed time in the new statusbar widget (most probably using <timer>). I would like it to update the statusbar display every second and to be able to reset it to 00:00:00 upon a button click.

Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Hello,
in case there is here using Debian or Ubuntu,
know that the last stable verstion gtkdialog 0.8.0 developed by Thunor is available in my deposit.

Code:
## Depôt gtkdialog/multimystem
deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main
#deb-src http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main
#wget -q http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -


I can not thank enough Thunor for all the work done on gtkdialog.
François

Hi vovchik

I've included a few commented-out instructions so that you can test the boundaries, and a pause/unpause button.
Code:
#!/bin/sh

GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

funcStatusBarUpdate() {
   SECONDS=$(($(<$ELAPSED) + 1))
   if [ $SECONDS -ge 216000 ]; then SECONDS=0; fi
   echo $SECONDS > $ELAPSED
   printf "%02d:%02d:%02d" $(($SECONDS / 3600)) \
      $(($SECONDS % 3600 / 60)) $(($SECONDS % 60)) > $MESSAGE
}
export -f funcStatusBarUpdate

export ELAPSED=$(mktemp)
echo 0 > $ELAPSED
#echo 55 > $ELAPSED
#echo 3595 > $ELAPSED
#echo 215995 > $ELAPSED

export MESSAGE=$(mktemp)
echo "00:00:00" > $MESSAGE

export MAIN_DIALOG='
<window title="StatusBar Elapsed Time" border-width="0" resizable="false">
   <vbox>
      <timer visible="false">
         <variable>tmr0</variable>
         <action>funcStatusBarUpdate</action>
         <action>refresh:stb0</action>
      </timer>
      <hbox border-width="100">
         <togglebutton>
            <label>Active</label>
            <default>true</default>
            <action>if true enable:tmr0</action>
            <action>if false disable:tmr0</action>
         </togglebutton>
         <button>
            <label>Reset</label>
            <action>echo -1 > '$ELAPSED'</action>
            <action>funcStatusBarUpdate</action>
            <action>refresh:stb0</action>
         </button>
      </hbox>
      <statusbar has-resize-grip="false">
         <variable>stb0</variable>
         <input file>'$MESSAGE'</input>
      </statusbar>
   </vbox>
   <action signal="hide">exit:Exit</action>
</window>
'

$GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG

rm $ELAPSED $MESSAGE

Thunor

Cheers Dougal Smile

I placed a message inside gtkdialog.texi/info warning the reader that it's very old and incomplete but still informative for beginners.

When I added, extended and researched the widgets I also created examples to test their capabilities which mostly ended up being posted here, so I used functions to reduce them. Eventually I merged them into the repository and added "_advanced" to their filenames so at least the reader will know what to expect. I think your --dump suggestion is a good idea and I'll implement it when I get a chance.

Thanks for the Hell demo links; I've downloaded them and I'll give them a listen.

Mick: My game's coming along nicely and I'll see if I can make the deadline Very Happy

Thunor

thunor,
You have mentioned a game you are developing.
Is it going to be a commercial release?
What type of game is it to be?
You have my curiosity aroused.

Dear thunar,

Thanks a million for the statusbar demo. I need the elapsed time for a little sbagen player (moddded and extended from Lobster's original psbagen). I have it integrated now into my gui but would like it not to start automatically, since no sequence has been chosen. I am looking into how to do this.

With kiind regards,
vovchik

Dear thunor,

Works like a charm. Thanks. This was what all the fuss was about: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=570660#570660.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. I should actually read the dirs and generate the gtkdialog xml, but I'll do that in the next version.Smile

Does gtkdialog/ GTK have any options that will force a window to always be dominant? That is to say it would always display in front of any other windows opened with the file manager.
I have a script with two entry boxes that can accept input directly, by chooser, or drag and drop from a Rox window.
Using drag and drop, when I open a directory using ROX, I end up having to reposition the window of my script to have the entry boxes visible for the drag and drop.

I fight this with ROX as even after using Puppy for a number of years, I still do not know if there is a command to snap two windows into a side by side layout.

Hi 8bit

I can't speak for gtk but there is options in windowmanagers to keep a window on top.

Also, there is xdotool which can control window size/placement. Seaside wrote an app using it awhile ago for rox.

Sorry not really an answer but maybe some possibilities there.

8-bit,

You can create an "on-top" window class by inserting in (for example JWM) the following code at the end of "/root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal" just before "</JWM>.

Code:

<Group>
<Name>on-top</Name>
<Class>on-top</Class>
<Option>layer:12</Option>
</Group>


Then, in your gtkdialog program call it with "gtkdialog3 -p GUI --class on-top" and presto your program will not be covered.

If you use Yad, it can do that directly by option without making an entry group as above.

Regards,
s
