hello,

I would like to create a window with glade, import it in a ruby project,  
and add a buton to it but from eclipse.

here it is an example:

* * *

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# 

require ‘libglade2’  
require ‘gtk2’  
class MonAppli  
attr\_accessor:main\_glade\_xml  
def initialize(file, root)  
@main\_glade\_xml = GladeXML.new(file, root) {|handler|  
method(handler)}  
#@main\_glade\_xml[‘fenetre\_2’].show\_all end  
def on\_button1\_clicked  
puts “clicked !”  
end  
end

Gtk.init  
a=MonAppli.new("/home/lolveley/eclipse/plan\_de\_travail/test\_1/fenetre\_2.glade",nil)

a.main\_glade\_xml[“window1”].add\_child(new Button(“bouton 1”))

# marche

a.main\_glade\_xml[“window1”].show\_all  
Gtk.main

* * *

but I can’t find the correct term to use for “button” : I tried  
Gtk::button but I have this error then : “undefined method `Button’ for  
Gtk:Module”.

can you help me?

</div>

and I add that with “irb” ie at the console, I succeed in creating a  
button (a=Gtk::Button.new(“hello”).

</div>

it is now good, with this line:

a.main\_glade\_xml[“hbox1”].pack\_start(Gtk::Button.new(“hello”), true,  
true, 0)
