[Glade-users] Timing out a dialog

Hi Tristan,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?I am not sure how to implement your solution.

This should be the sequence you need:

 - Create and configure dialog
 - source_id = g_timeout_add (2 seconds, new dialog); <--- right here
 - run dialog
 - if (source_id > 0) source_id = (g_source_remove (source_id), 0);
<--- and cancel it here, reset the timeout id also...

and the timeout:
 - quit dialog
 - source_id = 0; <-- reset source timeout id
 - return FALSE; <-- ensure timeout is cancelled

Cheers,

I have a function that takes in an argument for use as the message in
the dialog.
Here is the function
========================================
void mainWindow::on_command_show_action(Glib::ustring object)
{
? ? ? ?Glib::ustring message= object;
? ? ? ?Gtk::MessageDialog dialog(*this, message);
? ? ? ?Glib::ustring comment= "Action performed.";
? ? ? ?dialog.set_secondary_text(comment);
? ? ? ?int result = dialog.run();
}
========================================

This function is called when a button is pressed using
initiateCommand->signal_clicked().connect(sigc::bind(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&mainWindow::on_command_take_action),"!S5101 Fired"));

I have tried using g_timeout_add in main, but there I cannot use
dialog as my user data.
If I put this at the dialog, it does not like MessageDialog,
typecasting mismatch errors (Says cannot cast MessageDialog as void*).

I have also tried g_signal_emit_by_name + timer, but strangely it is
not doing the job at all. I still have to click the dialog.

Any hints as to where I call the g_timeout_add?

Thanks ever so much!

2009/3/5 Tristan Van Berkom <tvb at gnome.org>:
When you launch the dialog initially then use g_timeout_add()
to register a timeout callback, give it the dialog as user data
(and hold on to the return value of g_timeout_add()...), then
quit the dialog/reset the source_id from the callback ... and/or
when gtk_dialog_run() returns:

if (source_id > 0) source_id = (g_source_remove (source_id), 0);

Hello people,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? For sometime now, I have been trying to timeout a
dialog. To illustrate,
imagine you have a button A and when it is clicked, it responds "A clicked".
Now, what I am trying to do is close the dialog window without any
further click after a pre-determined period, say 2 seconds.

Any ideas how to go about it?

PS: I am using debian-2.6.26-1 i686 with glade-3

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
