For example, if you had ashell script and you just wanted a bit of GUI interaction. Probably not quite what you are looking for, but who knows. There is really no way to do GUI programming without taking a bit of time and effort. However it is not that hard to use Glade, so you may just want to roll up your sleeves and give it a shot. Of course your program probably is procedural. You'll have to rework it under any GUI system to be event-driven. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Re: GUI quickly?
Here are a couple of options: - Parse your variable list through regular expressions and dynamically build your interface. - Offline generate a glade (or GtkBuilder file) based on the same parsing. The syntax of glade and GtkBuilder is very straight forward. Regarding the callback, the question is if you really want to get a callback for each of the four characters 3,.,1 and 4. After all you are not likely to use them until you press some [Go] button, or at least leave the widget. In any case it will help you in this case to use the g_object_set_data() function to attach the name of the data to the entry or ComboBox widgets. If you instead use the [Go] button approach, then you can save all your widgets in a list and in the [Go] clicked signal handle, query them all for their current values. This latter approach is how I do it now, after having used the callback on each keypress in the beginning of my Gtk days. (Which is closer to how Perl/Tk works).

A quick Google search of linux visual builder produces many options: Gambas, Mono, WxHatch, Ultimate++, Glade. Depends on what your target platform is and what your language preferences are. Since you mention quickly in the subject, you might want to give Gambas a try. -- Guy Rouillier ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
