GObject property binding support in Glade - Weekly Report 07

[Denis Washington <denisw online de>]

Hi,

This week, I finally got the time to do some of the polishing work on 
the "Bind to source..." dialog I was planning. The list of source 
properties to choose from now also lists incompatible properties, but 
greyed out, which is less confusing than hiding them completely. In 
addition, you can now only click on "OK" (now labeled "Bind") if you 
actually have a compatible property selected. (A rather embarassing 
oversight ;) As a small touch, I have also changed the undo/redo action 
description to say "Unbinding [...]" if a property was unbound. (As both 
binding and unbinding uses the same code path, it said "Binding [...]" 
before.)

On next week's agenda (apart from mid-term evaluation) is further 
polishing and edge-case handling. Most specifically, there needs to be 
some kind of handling for when source properties disappear, e.g. when 
the object owning the property is deleted or if a property is disabled 
(if, for instance, a button's content type is changed from "Label" to 
"Internal widget").

Regards,
Denis
