Rapid Application Development with Glade 3.0 Part 3

Download project from http://thenerdshow.com/c/hasher.zip

GtkBuilder provides the glue to connect our xml interface to our C program. This is done using pseudo object-oriented functions in the form: gtk_some_widget_dosomething(GTK_SOME_WIDGET(widget)) which we could probably tuck into a macro somewhere, if we were smarter, something like #define DOIT(xx) gtk_some_widget_##xx(GTK_SOME_WIDGET(widget))

DOIT(show);
DOIT(set_text);
DOIT(make_toast);...

I guess when compiling on Windows, you need to precede callback functions with G_MODULE_EXPORT

How did you generate the c code? I watched part 1 and part 2, then part 3 starts with the generated c code, where did it come from?

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, Glade 3.6.7 and GTK+ 2.2?

@LenWhistler I wrote that starting with one of the boilerplate Glade templates they provided. There is no generator with 3.0 and the one with 2.0 generated bad code. I suppose there are 3rd party generators, but it's way better to write your own.

thanks for the tutorial, its so difficult to find good and complete tutorials about graphic interfaces

It's ok now, but it's a moving target. These interfaces keep changing; it will likely go out of date.

@LenWhistler "Glade originally generated C code to build the GUI (and you'll still find examples and tutorials doing this). This was later discouraged in favor of using a library, Libglade, to build the interface at run time. And finally, as of Glade3, the old method has become deprecated."
