I think I missed something in the transition to GObject introspection. How do I now get my drawing area to respond to an expose event (or what is the new way of doing things)? The old way works:
#!/usr/bin/env python import gtk class MyExample(object): def __init__(self, user_data=None): window = gtk.Window() window.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit) drawing_area = gtk.DrawingArea() drawing_area.set_size_request(300,300) drawing_area.connect('expose-event',self.expose) window.add(drawing_area) window.show_all() def expose(self,widget,data): print ("self_exposed") # === if __name__ == "__main__": app = MyExample() Gtk.main() The "new" way, or my interpretation of it, does not work; it claims TypeError: <DrawingArea object at 0xaf5050 (GtkDrawingArea at 0xa74980)>: unknown signal name: expose-event The "new" way: #!/usr/bin/env python from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk class MyExample(object): def __init__(self, user_data=None): window = Gtk.Window() window.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit) drawing_area = Gtk.DrawingArea() drawing_area.set_size_request(300,300) drawing_area.connect('expose-event',self.expose) window.add(drawing_area) window.show_all() def expose(self,widget,data): print ("self_exposed") # === if __name__ == "__main__": app = MyExample() Gtk.main() -- rockdoctor _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
