I know about the possiblity to fire the low-level functions using an button callback. However this would draw an exception for other UI choices the application has: e.g. text, deamon.
Therefore I'm looking for a way to keep the application structure for all UIs the same. There is the test app I'm playing with: #include <gtk/gtk.h> GtkApplication *app; GtkWidget *window; int initialized = 0; void quit_cb(GSimpleAction *action, GVariant *value, gpointer data) { g_print("quit!\n"); g_object_unref(app); exit(0); } void restart_cb(GSimpleAction *action, GVariant *value, gpointer data) { g_print("restart!\n"); g_application_quit(G_APPLICATION(app)); } void test_cb(GSimpleAction *action, GVariant *value, gpointer data) { GtkWidget *dialog; GtkDialogFlags flags = GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT; dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new(GTK_WINDOW(window), flags, GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR, GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE, "TEst Message"); g_signal_connect_swapped(dialog, "response", G_CALLBACK(gtk_widget_destroy), dialog); gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog)); } static void shutdown(GtkApplication *app, gpointer data) { initialized = 1; } static void activate (GtkApplication *app, gpointer user_data) { GtkWidget *header, *menubutton, *frame, *overlay, *combo, *box; GtkBuilder *builder; GActionEntry actions[] = { {"test_action", test_cb, NULL, NULL, NULL,{}}, {"restart", restart_cb, NULL, NULL, NULL, {}}, {"quit", quit_cb, NULL, NULL, NULL, {}} }; g_action_map_add_action_entries(G_ACTION_MAP(app), actions, G_N_ELEMENTS(actions), app); if (initialized == 0) { window = gtk_application_window_new (app); gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (window), 500, 300); } else { gtk_application_add_window(app, GTK_WINDOW(window)); } gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "buildertest"); /* Header Bar */ header = gtk_header_bar_new(); gtk_header_bar_set_title(GTK_HEADER_BAR(header), "Yeah"); gtk_header_bar_set_show_close_button(GTK_HEADER_BAR(header), TRUE); gtk_window_set_titlebar(GTK_WINDOW(window), header); /* Menu Button */ menubutton = gtk_menu_button_new(); /* Menu for Menubutton */ builder = gtk_builder_new(); gtk_builder_add_from_string(builder, "<interface>" " <menu id='app-menu'>" " <section>" " <item>" " <attribute name='label' translatable='yes'>Restart</attribute>" " <attribute name='action'>app.restart</attribute>" " </item>" " <item>" " <attribute name='label' translatable='yes'>Quit</attribute>" " <attribute name='action'>app.quit</attribute>" " </item>" " </section>" " </menu>" " <menu id='test-menu'>" " <section>" " <attribute name='label' translatable='yes'>Test</attribute>" " <item>" " <attribute name='label' translatable='yes'>Test Entry</attribute>" " <attribute name='action'>app.test_action</attribute>" " <attribute name='accel'>t</attribute>" " </item>" " </section>" " </menu>" "</interface>", -1, NULL); gtk_application_set_app_menu(GTK_APPLICATION(app), G_MENU_MODEL(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "app-menu"))); gtk_menu_button_set_menu_model(GTK_MENU_BUTTON(menubutton), G_MENU_MODEL(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "test-menu"))); gtk_button_set_image(GTK_BUTTON(menubutton), gtk_image_new_from_icon_name("open-menu-symbolic", GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU)); gtk_header_bar_pack_end(GTK_HEADER_BAR(header), menubutton); /* content area */ if (initialized) { overlay = gtk_bin_get_child(GTK_BIN(window)); gtk_container_remove(GTK_CONTAINER(window), overlay); } overlay = gtk_overlay_new(); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), overlay); frame = gtk_frame_new("Rahmen"); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(overlay), frame); box = gtk_box_new(GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, 5); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(frame), box); combo = gtk_combo_box_text_new(); gtk_combo_box_text_append(GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT(combo), "id1", "Entry 1"); gtk_combo_box_text_append(GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT(combo), "id2", "Entry 2"); gtk_combo_box_set_active(GTK_COMBO_BOX(combo), 0); gtk_widget_set_hexpand(combo, TRUE); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), combo, FALSE, FALSE, 0); gtk_widget_show_all(window); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { app = NULL; int status; app = gtk_application_new ("org.gnome.Buildertest", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE); g_signal_connect (app, "activate", G_CALLBACK (activate), NULL); g_signal_connect (app, "shutdown", G_CALLBACK(shutdown), NULL); status = g_application_run (G_APPLICATION (app), argc, argv); g_print("some things happen here\n"); g_object_unref(G_OBJECT(app)); app = gtk_application_new ("org.gnome.Buildertest", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE); g_signal_connect (app, "activate", G_CALLBACK (activate), NULL); status = g_application_run (G_APPLICATION (app), argc, argv); return status; } Am 22.01.2018 um 22:09 schrieb Lucky B.C: > Hi, can you show your demo about the way you did?
