Thank you very much.







Here in my glade file there is a object of type GtkWindow, Now I want to



replace it with another object of type







GtkMyWindow which inherits from GtkWindow.







What should I do?





Few things you could do; first start with this:



http://people.gnome.org/~tvb/testcatalog.xml





Thats an example of a catalog that spoofs a type



with minimal effort and even adds a propery virtually using the xml  
catalog



format; put it in a directory and fire up Glade with:





GLADE_CATALOG_PATH=~/my_directory glade-3





You can also get Glade to load and introspect your window's properties



and automatically put them in the editor; which is a matter of telling



the same xml catalog where to load the library with your widget inside.





For more information make sure you flip through the first few chapters of:



http://library.gnome.org/devel/gladeui/3.6/





Note that after the type is encoded in the glade file then GtkBuilder  
should



be able to dynamically load your object at run time simply by name.





Cheers,

I didn't mind add a custom widget was pretty easy, and i wonder one forward  
question:

If i add some custom widgets definition on my catalog for my apps, what are  
the best practices when i'm willing to set the code free?
I mean, my custom widgets are part of the app source code so, if i want to  
make easy for the community to help coding, or packaging my software,
i suppose that there must be some "de facto" standards, isn't?

Thanks.






Thanks.

Dear List:







In Glade 3, how can I get source code from glade xml file?







You dont; you use the GtkBuilder api to parse it and build the  

interface



for your application; GtkBuilder is a part of GTK+ and so should be



available in your language binding (if you are using one).







Cheers,
