Hi
I’ve just noticed that it is possible to enable drag and drop reordering
of tabs in a Gtk::Notebook in Ruby-Gnome2. I’m posting this to the list
because:
(a) I didn’t know about it until now, I’ve been using the techniques in
the mdi.rb example on the web site
(http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?MDI), which are a lot more
complicated for sure.
(b) people have asked about it before
(c) it’s apparently not documented in the online documentation. Please
let me know if there’s some reason this is not documented, like
instability, otherwise I’m going to switch to using it right away.
Apologies if everyone already knew about this except me.
This example has two notebooks with two tabs each. You can reorder tabs
within the notebooks and drag between them.
require ‘gtk2’
win = Gtk::Window.new(“Notebook”)
hbox = Gtk::HBox.new
nb = Gtk::Notebook.new
nb.append_page(l1=Gtk::Label.new(“foo”), Gtk::Label.new(“foo”))
nb.append_page(l2=Gtk::Label.new(“bar”), Gtk::Label.new(“bar”))
nb.set_tab_reorderable(l1, true)
nb.set_tab_reorderable(l2, true)
nb.set_tab_detachable(l1, true)
nb.set_tab_detachable(l2, true)
nb.set_group_id(0)
nb2 = Gtk::Notebook.new
nb2.append_page(l12=Gtk::Label.new(“foo2”), Gtk::Label.new(“foo2”))
nb2.append_page(l22=Gtk::Label.new(“bar2”), Gtk::Label.new(“bar2”))
nb2.set_tab_reorderable(l12, true)
nb2.set_tab_reorderable(l22, true)
nb2.set_tab_detachable(l12, true)
nb2.set_tab_detachable(l22, true)
nb2.set_group_id(0)
hbox.pack_start(nb)
hbox.pack_start(nb2)
win.add(hbox)
win.show_all
Gtk.main
The ‘set_tab_reorderable’, ‘set_tab_detachable’ and ‘set_group_id’
methods are documented in the Gtk docs here:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkNotebook.html
But don’t seem to be where they should be here:
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Gtk%3A%3ANotebook
Anyway, sorry if everyone knows this already! I know I’m very glad to
have found it.
best,
Dan
