Gladex

How to get access to widgets?

Asked by Alexander Telenga

Is there any manual or howto of this problem?
I've created glade file, parsed it with Gladex and got two .py files - main and callbacks. Now I need to write callbacks functions, but I can't understand how to get access to widgets.
For example I have 3 entry boxes, 1 combobox, 3 buttons in my glade file. I have in the callbacks file :

def on_SolveButton_clicked(widget, data, wtree):
   print "function 'on_on_SolveButton_clicked' not implemented"
   pass

In this function I want to get data from first two entries, math sign from combobox and calculate result. How can I do this?

hi Alexander,

you can get access to the whole tree by using the parameter "wtree" like below:

"
def on_SolveButton_clicked(widget, data, wtree):
   #print "function 'on_on_SolveButton_clicked' not implemented"
   entry1 = wtree.get_widget("id_entry1")
   entry2 = wtree.get_widget("id_entry2")
   ...
   pass
"
now that you have the widgets you can call the proper methods (es. entry1.get_text() ).
See http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/index.html for more details.
