hi,
atually the approach we've folowed is slightly diff..........
we referred
www.gnome.org/projectc/ORBit2/appletstutorial.html
to answer ur questions:
1)callbacks for interacting with the menu that has 3items are
get_request,display_about and set_request(Ive not shown them here).We
associate them using this function:-
static const BonoboUIVerb myexample_menu_verbs [] =
{
BONOBO_UI_VERB ("pepGet", get_request),
BONOBO_UI_VERB ("pepAbout", display_about),
BONOBO_UI_VERB ("pepStatus", set_request),
BONOBO_UI_VERB_END
};
somewhere in callbacks i've used:-
gtk_widget_set_sensitive("pepStatus",FALSE);
2)
Menu dialog creation not there.
To invoke the menu we defined the context menu and called using this
function that fills the applet and loads it:-
static gboolean
myexample_applet_fill (PanelApplet *applet,
const gchar *iid,
gpointer data)
{
GtkWidget *event_box;
GtkWidget *image;
if (strcmp (iid, "OAFIID:ExampleApplet") != 0)
return FALSE;
image = gtk_image_new_from_file("icon.ico");
event_box = gtk_event_box_new();
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (event_box), image);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (applet), event_box);
gtk_widget_show_all (GTK_WIDGET (applet));
panel_applet_setup_menu (PANEL_APPLET (applet),
Context_menu_un_xml,
myexample_menu_verbs,
NULL);
return TRUE;
}
the context menuw as defined as:-
static const char Context_menu_un_xml [] =
"<popup name=\"button3\">\n"
" <menuitem name=\"mnuGet\" "
" verb=\"pepGet\" "
" _label=\"_Get Status\"\n"
" pixtype=' "
" pixname=' />\n"
" <menuitem name=\"mnuStatus\" "
" verb=\"pepStatus\" "
" _label=\"_Unknown\"\n"
" pixtype=' "
" sensitive=False "
" pixname=' />\n"
" <menuitem name=\"mnuAbout\" "
" verb=\"pepAbout\" "
" _label=\"_About\"\n"
" pixtype=' "
" pixname=' />\n"
"</popup>\n";
3) To associate the .server file with the code we are to use:-
PANEL_APPLET_BONOBO_FACTORY ("OAFIID:ExampleApplet_Factory",
PANEL_TYPE_APPLET,
"The Hello World Applet",
"0",
myexample_applet_fill,
NULL);
4) for diaologs we've used another fucntion but thats only a alert box
which we wanted modal!
so basically as u said to make a dialog creation signature etc to get
a GTKWidget, i could nt quite get........
Sorry if this is a silly query but i'm new to this and dunno how to
handle bonobo component etc.
Btw can u suggest a comprehensive source for understanding the
basics.The different versions and their references are confusing.
Thank u so much!
