Text and Text Entry:Text entry widgets require a callback function to manage and receive the text.In this example we have a callback ( callback entercallbackb) defined by the programmer when the widget is defined and the callback assigned to the widget by the call to the 'connect' function call: entryb.connect('changed', self.entercallbackb, entryb).Note that the callback is called initially when the default text is assigned and every time the text entry is changed.In this example we also added a label to display the intent of the text entry box to the user. A default entry is also assigned.The variable entrytextb can be passed to the location in the code where it is to be used but also can be assigned to a global variable.(gtk.Widget, gtk.Editable, gtk.CellEditable)gtk.Entry(max=0)Options:. sethasframe(setting). setmaxlength(max): max string length alowed to be enetered.

Compile and Run $ valac -pkg gtk+-3.0 gtk-search-dialog.vala $./gtk-search-dialog Loading User Interface from XML File. Instead of hand coding your application's user interface you can create it comfortably with a user interface designer such as Glade and save it as XML file. Your application can load the UI from this file at runtime with the help of the Gtk.Builder class.
Set to '0' for upper limit (65536). setwidthchars(nchars): width of the text entry box. settext(text): Set the default text entry. setalignment(xalign). setoverwritemode(overwrite). Check Box:The check box/button is a typical GTK widget which requires a callback function which is assigned to the widget.In this example we use a frame widget to generate a visual frame to encapsulate the displayed widget.
In addition we used a global variable to pass the variable around to potential functions which could use the variable.(label=None, useunderline=True). label: String to be used as a text label. useunderline: True=underscore in the text label indicates 'alt' accelerator key. Dialog Boxes:The dialog box presents a pop-up message box to inform the application user.(parent=None, flags=0, type=gtk.MESSAGEINFO, buttons=gtk.BUTTONSNONE, messageformat=None). flags: gtk.DIALOGMODAL, gtk.DIALOGDESTROYWITHPARENT or 0 for no flags. Can be combined. type: The pyGTK libraries provides default message box symbology for the following purposes:.
Error message: gtk.MESSAGEERROR. Warning message: gtk.MESSAGEWARNING. Information message: gtk.MESSAGEINFO.
Question message: gtk.MESSAGEQUESTION. buttons:. gtk.BUTTONSNONE. gtk.BUTTONSOK.

Bitmap Graphics and Images:The following code snippet shows how to embed and display an X Pixmap image (XPM) within a Python pyGTK script.Any bitmap image (gif, jpeg, etc) can be converted to an 'xpm' file using image manipulation software such as XV or Gimp and performing a 'Save as.' .XPM is a 'C' text string representation of a color bit mapped image.Graphic software conversion typically prepares the XPM in this mode to be embedded into 'C' programs.Only minor changes are required to use the XPM image in a Python/pyGTK script.It must be changed from a 'C' char to a Python string.The original native XPM image file. PyGTK Notes:. Lots of other pyGTK widgets are avaialable including:. progress bar: gtk.ProgressBar(Progress defined as 0 to 1.
Widget also displays text messages.). About pop-up: gtk.AboutDialog. Arrow: gtk.Arrow. Date selection: gtk.Calendar. Cells: gtk.CellEditable, gtk.CellLayout, gtk.CellRenderer. Clipboard: gtk.Clipboard. Menus: gtk.Menu, gtk.MenuBar, gtk.MenuItem, gtk.MenuShell.
Programatically one can change the display of widgets:. Turn off: widgetname.hide. Turn on: widgetname.showThis allows a display customization targeted for entries and selections defined as the user makes entries. Log files are helpful.
