There was an external glade1 code generator available, which I ported to the glade 2 file format a while back and dumped in CVS as glade2c. If anyone really finds C code generation useful, it would be a good base to start with.

Actually I would find this useful, I just didn't know it existed. I'm swamped with work at the minute, and probably for the next several months, but I'm going to start playing with it.

Why is it useful? Because generating C code helps me to teach programming. It's a good leap from hello.c in the console to hello.c in gnome, and then whoever I'm teaching can go back and analyze the generated code, make changes to it, learn how to do it other ways, learn to write windowing code themselves...

For a quick jumpstart, the generated code works fine. For a huge enterprise level program I would definitely not use it, but when one is learning, enterprise level programs are few and far between.

Cheers,

Rikke
