OK, I just did the ugliest hack, from someone who only seems to do ugly
hacks. I set up a bunch of textview areas and defaulted them to 'not
visible'. Then as I loop through my query results, I make them visible
one at a time. Well, it works perfect, but it just doesn't seem right
for some reason.

struggle for me.
I created a UI in glade. It has a couple of Vboxes for information.
The final box is filled with a TextView. In my program, I'm
connecting to a database and pulling out a series of records. As it
stands, I can pull out all the records and view them in the TextView,
but I would like to be able to have each result be a separate TextView
(which I then have to figure out how to make clickable...)
Right now, this part looks like:
query = 'SELECT subject, chapter_module, credits, final_test_score,
notes FROM credits WHERE id=' + student[0][6]
cursor.execute(query)
credits = cursor.fetchall()
temp = ''
for credit in credits:
sub_buf = 15 - len(credit[0])
chap_buf = 15 - len(credit[1])
cred_buf = 5 - len(credit[2])
score_buf = 5 - len(credit[1])
temp = temp + credit[0] + " " * sub_buf + credit[1] + " " *
chap_buf + "Credits: " + credit[2] + " " * chap_buf + "Score: " +
credit[3] + "\n\nNOTES: " + credit[4] + "\n" + " " * 5 + "-" * 50 +
"\n\n"
# I would like to loop something here
# to have multiple text areas added
buff = self.builder.get_object('textview1').get_buffer()
buff.set_text(temp)
This works fine. It pulls the records out of the database, and then
cats the results together and throws it into my TextView. I'm happy
with the results so far, but I would like to be able to click on each
record if I see something that needs to be modified. As always, any
help is appreciated.
Also, can anyone recommend a good book for gtk + glade + python? I
went out and bought Learning Python, but book at B&N that were
remotely GUI related seems very outdated or just tkinter related, and
just about all the gtk+python examples and tutorials don't use glade.
Thanks again.
