GladeXML and derived widgets

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

Hello,

I am porting a UI from gtkmm to ruby-gnome2. In the gtkmm version I
create widgets derived from .glade file widgets as described here:
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/ch23s03.html

Is derived widgets from .glade files supported in ruby-gnome2? I can’t
find anything mentioned in the docs.

Thank you,

For future reference:

Just use anonymous super classes, like this:

  gladeXML = GladeXML.new

‘…/data/glade/create-new-image-window.glade’
createNewImageWindow = gladeXML.get_widget ‘CreateNewImageWindow’

  class << createNewImageWindow
    attr_reader :okButton, :imageNameEntry

    def setup_widgets gladeXML
      @okButton = gladeXML.get_widget 'OkButton'
      @okButton.signal_connect( 'clicked' ) { self.hide }

      @cancelButton = gladeXML.get_widget 'CancelButton'
      @cancelButton.signal_connect( 'clicked' ) { self.hide }

      @imageNameEntry = gladeXML.get_widget 'ImageNameEntry'
    end

    # Returns a new ImageInfo object with the data setup as in the
    # CreateNewImageWindow.
    def get_new_image_info
      ImageInfo.new @imageNameEntry.text
    end
  end

  createNewImageWindow.setup_widgets gladeXML

This will probably fulfil most needs.

Have a look at this class
http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/fantasdic/trunk/lib/fantasdic/ui/glade_base.rb?view=markup

The following code creates instance variables for each widget found in
the glade file.

You then create classes that inherit from it in order to create new
widgets.

I find this class very convenient.
