I’m trying to add some items to a Gtk::Table which has been created by  
Glade, from code invoked on a button press.

The code runs without error but widgets aren’t added to the table, or if  
they are they’re not visible or something. The following code is how  
I’ve tried to add the widgets:

symbol\_label = Gtk::Label.new.set\_text(‘Test1’)  
price\_label = Gtk::Label.new.set\_text(‘Test2’)  
@glade.get\_widget(“table1”).attach\_defaults(symbol\_label,0,1,0,1)  
@glade.get\_widget(“table1”).attach\_defaults(price\_label,1,2,0,1)

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

You probably just need to explicitly show the two new labels:

symbol\_label.show  
price\_label.show
