Hi,
Please consider dropping generated code, one of the main reasons
we dropped generating code was because people would reuse the
generated code and it became example code, the other main reason
is because our code becomes more managable this way - we dont
have to recompile and deal with version conflicts on source files
when interfaces change for instance.
This code, along with your actual signal callback glue; is pretty much
all you will ever need to load your GUI:
================================
static void
load_ui (const gchar *filename, const gchar *window_name)
{
GtkBuilder *builder;
GError *error = NULL;
GtkWidget *window;
builder = gtk_builder_new ();
if (!gtk_builder_add_from_file (builder, filename, &error))
{
g_error ("%s", error->message);
g_error_free (error);
return;
}
window = (GtkWidget *)gtk_builder_get_object (builder, window_name);
gtk_window_present (GTK_WINDOW (window));
gtk_main ();
g_object_unref (builder);
}
================================
Now check out 3.6 and enjoy Actions and Treeviews and more :)
Cheers,
-Tristan
