Yes, connect_signal_full is only needed if you want to customize the signal connection process.

But if you have many callbacks you will end up with a polluted global namespace. So you might want to organize them in classes. And for non-trivial callback methods, if you wish to access instance methods in order to modify the state of the surrounding object, the callbacks must be instance methods. > cheers > Andre > > ps. and 1000x thanks for the added examples in gnome.org!

[Vala] How to call base constructors
I'm trying to extend the Gtk.CheckMenuItem and unfortunately there are
no set_label or set_mnemonic methods.
I was thinking to call the base constructor, but instead of
gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label, vala generates
gtk_check_menu_item_construct_with_label
Do you know how can I call a base constructor?
Many thanks!
Here is my example:
public class ProjectMenuItem : Gtk.CheckMenuItem {
public int id {set; get;}
public ProjectMenuItem.with_label(string name) {
base.with_label(name);
}
public ProjectMenuItem.with_mnemonic(string name) {
base.with_mnemonic(name);
}
}

So try: gtk_builder_sample_on_button1_clicked instead of on_button1_clicked PS: You don't have to add --Xcc="-Wl,--export-dynamic", since this is already added by pkg-config for gmodule-2.0 (see /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gmodule-2.0.pc).

Hi, perhaps you are missing the '--pkg gmodule-2.0' option. I have added a simple GtkBuilder sample with signal auto-connection to the wiki: http://live.gnome.org/Vala/GTKSample#head-e558b6b451800cf5547de009be1435b7f90d8d37 Regards, Frederik ___ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
