Re: Using GLADE for windows

["Harinandan S" <harinandans gmail com>]

Thanks Tristan.

 

I wasnt aware of GtkBuilder. Nice to know that it is integrated and that would save some of my space which would have been taken by libglade.

 

Also, can I use the same methodology in Windows platform as well?

Yes thats the same, Glade 3 sets all widgets visible True by default unless
they are toplevel windows, which are invisible by default (you can change
this in the editor ofcourse anyway).

You should look into using GtkBuilder, its the way of the future, and
there will be a Glade release soon with full builder support.
