Okay, I'm a newbie with Gtk. I'm designing with glade-3. I've got an
annoying problem with my about dialog.
I connected the help-about menu item to a callback that pops up the
dialog. The Credits and License buttons work fine. The Close
button does nothing. I've seen a bug report in one of the Ubuntu forums
that claimed this was not a bug, that I have to connect a signal to the
close button. Great, but how do I *access* the close button to connect
it. In glade, the action area shows up as an internal object with no
buttons for me to connect to.
Instead, another set of messages I found related to Gtk-perl said I
should do something like this:
void
on_menu_help_about_activate_cb(GtkObject *object, gpointer user_data)
{
GtkWidget *window = GTK_ABOUT_DIALOG(gtk_builder_get_object(builder,
help_about_dialog));
gtk_about_dialog_set_version(window, VERSION);
gtk_dialog_run(window);
gtk_widget_hide(window);
}
which effectively makes the dialog modal. I really don't like modal
dialogs unless there is a good reason for them to be modal. And I can't
see any reason a help dialog of any sort should be modal.
How can I get the Close button to just hide the dialog so I don't have
to do the run/hide thing in the callback?
