Store GtkRadioButtonGroup value in GSettings
I'm in the process of converting GnuCash from GConf to GSettings. I found the g_settings_bind to be an invaluable convenience function to bind checkboxes, spinbuttons and entries to gsettings values. This function has reduced a lot of our Gconf glue code. I am looking at doing something similar for our gtkradiobuttons, but I have some difficulties in finding the most elegant way to go about it. At present we have defined one gconf setting per radio group. So if we have three radiobuttons Foo,Bar and Baz in one radio group called FooGroup, there is one associated Gconf setting named FooGroup, which can have a value of Foo,Bar or Baz. Obviously, with this configuration I don't have one single object property to bind to so that g_settings_bind can do its magic. Searching for gsettings gtkradiobutton or variants doesn't turn up much information on this. So how should this be set up ? Is it possible to keep one gsettings parameter to work for three radio buttons ? Or should I go for 3 gsettings parameters to match on on one with the radio buttons ? The latter option will certainly make it more difficult to migrate settings from the old gconf database to the new gsettings backend.

I certainly don't assume that automatically, but when massive deprecations are made presumably without any prior discussion (at least on any public GTK+ channels), and then feedback is asked for and a number of important issues are raised and nothing is done about it, or even responding to some of the issues, just ignoring the thread for 2 months now ... what can be assumed? It's just frustrating trying to contribute to GTK+, or even to just code apps against it, when this stuff happens.

Re: GTK TreeView
Hi! It will probably work if you make the cells editable ( https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkCellRendererText.html#GtkCellRendererText--editable ). Alternatively, you could write your own cell renderer (maybe inheriting GtkCellRendererText) to handle the selection yourself.

Hi Mack, I might not be the best one to answer this, but this is what I normally do when I package tarballs under Linux to be able to test the code in Windows: -set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to where you installed your own GLib build .so's, such as: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnome.build.unstable/lib:/opt/gnome.build.unstable/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH -set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to where you installed your own GLib build .pc files, such as: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome.build.unstable/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome.build.unstable/lib64/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH -Then attempt to do the autogen.sh/configure - make - make install dance one by one. It probably depends on your distro whether it uses a */lib64/ for 64-bit installations of the code you build (it does so on Fedora 18/19, for at least harfbuzz which is required for Pango on Linux). Hope this may be of help. With blessings. ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
