Re: debugging some old glade.XML code, not getting a return of text?

[Jelle de Jong <jelledejong powercraft nl>]

Hello everybody,

Could somebody help me out please?

A code snippet of a piece of replacement code to popup a window to fill 
in a question and have the answer stored as variable would be great.

I got the below piece of code, but it is not returning any text anymore 
"entry.get_text()".

If I need to provide more information please let me know.

def ask(question, parent=None):
        dia = glade.XML(terp_path('terp.glade'), 'win_quest', 
gettext.textdomain())
        win = dia.get_widget('win_quest')
        label = dia.get_widget('label')
        label.set_text(question)
        entry = dia.get_widget('entry')

        if not parent:
                parent=service.LocalService('gui.main').window
        win.set_transient_for(parent)
        win.set_icon(TINYERP_ICON)

        response = win.run()
        print response
        parent.present()
        win.destroy()

        if response == gtk.RESPONSE_CANCEL:
                return None
        else:
                return entry.get_text()

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Jelle
