Re^3: GTK2+glade and knowing who called

[Anonymous Monk]

i know who called, but i want to avoid generating anonymous subs or endless prototyp's,

you don't need anonymous subs if you use the event object

if there is a way within glade to pass the who called information.

I've never used it, don't know what kind of perl it generates, so I can't tell you what is going wrong

you might try http://web.archive.org/web/20080618163706/http://pagesperso-orange.fr/gtk2-perl/GladeXML/en/GladeXML_tutoriel_en.html

Not a very helpful link. Many broken links, and of the ones that worked, I didn't see anything showing a solution to the problem mentioned. (I may have missed a page, I can't be certain with all the broken links.

Really? I found one.

Ok, how do you know (how did you check)?

Its a good thing you the event object works :)

[roboticus]

No, I didn't check the code. I read the code looking for the answer to the original question, but couldn't find anything that was an answer for it. I'm not saying the answer isn't buried in there, but for a Gtk newbie (like myself), there didn't seem to be anything relevant, aside from the problem of digging through the various versions of the site looking for one without broken links.

The links in your first post were more helpful. ;^)

the glade itself is describing the form in an XML file,it does not generate perl code.

example minimal code


use warnings;
use strict;
use Gtk2 -init;
use Gtk2::GladeXML;
my $gladexml = Gtk2::GladeXML->new('register_test.glade');
$gladexml->signal_autoconnect_from_package('main');

Gtk2->main;


sub btnNUM_clicked {
    print "yay clicked";
}

sub gtk_main_quit
  {
        Gtk2->main_quit;
  }


an alternative would be


use warnings;
use strict;
use Gtk2 -init;
use Gtk2::GladeXML;
my $gladexml = Gtk2::GladeXML->new('register_test.glade');
$gladexml->signal_autoconnect_from_package('main');

Gtk2->main;


sub btnNUM_clicked {
    my $self = $_;
    print "yay,you clicked $self";
}

sub gtk_main_quit
  {
        Gtk2->main_quit;
  }

sub btnNUM_clicked1 {
    btnNUM_clicked(1);
}

sub btnNUM_clicked2 {
    btnNUM_clicked(2);
}


this would work and can also be automaticaly generated,and inserted in the XML definition,
but that i would want to avoid, if there is a way from glade telling me who called the event.

Read perlvar#@_ and use @_, seems to work fine for me,  print "!!!@_\n"; yields

!!!! Gtk2::Button=HASH(0xc6fbf4) Gtk2::Dialog=HASH(0xc70094)

While you're at it read perlintro and the links from my first reply

[ultibuzz]

i would be happy if i would have anything in @_,
but debug and a dump show nothing in there.
If normaly there should be something, then i don't have a problem with the code ,
but something went wrong on installing Gtk2, and thus i'll check that ;)

kind regards
Alex

PS: reinstalling gtk2+ libs freshly
