Re: [Vala] Accessing "base" property of Gtk.Style

["Clément DAVID" <c david86 gmail com>]

just more informations from http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tutorial §"Control structures"

 

"Prefixing symbols with @ let you using reserved keywords. This is mainly useful for bindings. You can use an argument @foreach for example."

Hi,

 

if you look at the corresponding vapi file, you can see that the 'base' attribute has been renamed to '@base' in order to prevent this error *.

 

* It's just a quick answer I haven't test this.

Hello everyone!

I just started learning Vala, trying to write a small utility with Gtk.

I'm trying to set the background color of a Gtk.EventBox, to the
default "base" color as specified by the choosen gtk theme, reading it
from the window's style.
I'm doing this:

Gtk.EventBox container = new Gtk.EventBox();
Gtk.Style style = this.get_style();
container.modify_bg(Gtk.StateType.NORMAL, style.base[(int)
Gtk.StateType.NORMAL]);

But valac hangs with this error:

/home/fredp/Progetti/ejecter-vala/src/ui.vala:63.57-63.60: error:
syntax error, unexpected base

I guess "base" is a reserved word (gedit highlights it).
How can I workaround this?

Thank you

P.s.: do multiline strings (as in Python) exist in Vala?
