I tried your way to create the exit button and a different way on the gtk website but both ways don't close the program it just stops responding. Any ideas why ?

[metalx1000]

@T27M: Post your code at pastebin and send me a link. I'll have a look.

when i click exit on my window the window doesnt close but the console shows that i have clicked exit, any tips on what I might've done wrong?

[metalx1000]

@lpbug: Are you sure you "gtk.main_quit()" in the right place?

[lpbug]

@metalx1000 well actually i think i figured it out, it's only when I run the script from python that I have this problem. If I open it by clicking on it (as opposed to pressing f5 in the python editing shell) it works out fine. Thanks for the reply though, I really appreciate it.

Thanks! Although, I have a question, when did we make the "self" function. We are putting "self.something" but I don't know where we got the "self" from

[metalx1000]

@russjr08: I believe, self is just stating that it is in the same Class, I could be wrong. you don't need to put it, but I believe you may have difficulties calling an object in a different function if you don't use self.

[metalx1000]

@russjr08: I'll admit, some times I do things just because I know they work, but I may not have a 100% understanding on what is going on. When I first started programing it was years ago in Visual Basic. That has caused me to be very sloppy with my coding and I am still trying to break that habit. It's been years since I've been a Windows users and I'm still screwed of from the experience :)

@russjr08

in Python the self is an argument passed automatically by the interpreter, it refers to the class you are working in, then it executes the __init__ function declaring its properties and methods, I'd suggest you to read Python OOP books, hope this helped (:

[vadiethestar]

@russjr08 self is for identifying that the function is of the present class or class where u are writing that line
