Is it possible to "link" advanced GUIs with Glade? That is, Glade-Connect something that is not a Gtk.Window to mono? How?
I want to add versatility to my GUIs without having to right extensive code. Right now, i am using a method of creating widgets that load the parameters (borderWidth, Spacings, Expand/Fill, Text/Label, etc) from a class of parameters, that itself loads from a file. Effective but requires some extra code and that every single property of the Widgets that i may possibly want changed in the future to be added. I tried Glade and it seemed pretty good. I can make the Glade files fast with the program Glade, i can, later, add properties i feel like without having to worry at first code time to add all possible properties, change them without recompiling program, etc. The problem is that, in my GUI creations, i always end up using a method of creating my own widgets, usually classes derived from V/HBox/Frame, which i then add where needed. An example, i created my own class derived from Button, receiving an image and label to have buttons with Images and Labels at will. Just an example, since most are complex, like an entire Login area that i can add to any container i feel like. How do i connect to such kind of "special" widgets with Glade? I tried creating an example with Glade inside a Window. Then, have a class Glade.XML.Connect to the widget inside that window that i wanted (was a ToolBar). The problem was that, later, i could not add that class to, for example, a Table/V/HBox because that class was not Widget. Then i tried making that class derive from Widget and, that time, it did compiled but did not worked as expected. I think it complained about it trying to connect to something not Window. So, is there any way i can use Glade to connect to and use Widgets that are not the common Top Levels (Gtk.Window), even if i have to go do some editing to the .Glade files? That would be extraordinarily helpfull. __________________________________________________________ Porque insiste em pagar o dobro?
