Re: [gtkmm] Glade-2, libgtkmm, Xml::create, callbacks

[Douglas Roberts <dzzr lanl gov>]

I am talking about the generic need to get handles to the gui components, irrespective of what RAD, or suite of RAD tools is used to produce the gui code.  Callback functionality is such that gui components often interact.  For example, clicking a button will cause a file browser to pop up when the button's functionality is "Load File".  I personally don't care if I go through XML to get handles to all the glade-produced GUI C++ wrappers, but I do believe a widget/object lookup tool should be provided by glade/libglade/libglademm/libxml/whatever which provides similar functionality to that provided by lookup_widget when glade is used to produce C code.

It is a fact that GUI components often need to interact; therefore a lookup tool is required.

Hi, Christer.

Actually, all the information to connect the signals is available at 
compile time:  glade writes out the callback stubs as C++ code.
    

Maybe you are talking about glademm and generate code. That is not what
we are talking about.
