Basically, what I want to do is put some buttons before the tabs in a gtk.Notebook. I tried making my own notebook type widget and it worked well, but it would have required lots more work to make it as flexible as I would like, also it wasn't as efficient.
Here is a mock-up of what I'm trying to achieve: http://imagebin.ca/view/84SC0d.html
Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.
Ben.
You might be interested to know that this functionality has been added in GTK 2.20, see "Changes in GtkNotebook" in the following announcement: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2010-March/msg00132.html
It's a hack, but you can put your widgets on a separate tab, and then prevent the tab from being clicked by registering the following switch-page event for the notebook:
def onTabsSwitchPage(self, notebook, page_notUsableInPython, pageNumber):
# Don't allow to switch to the dummy tab containing widgets
if pageNumber == <put correct tab number here>:
notebook.stop_emission("switch-page")
Note that this doesn't look good with all GTK themes, but it works...
I don't think there's any way to do it without making your own notebook widget. There are a couple of hacks. One was posted by AndiDog. Another is to hide the tabs altogether (notebook.set_show_tabs(False)) and make a toolbar with buttons above the widget, with your buttons on the left, plus one button for each tab in the notebook that switches to that page.
Instead of making your own notebook-type widget from scratch, you could inherit from gtk.Notebook, overriding some of the methods like expose_event, size_request, and size_allocate, in order to deal with two types of container children: pages and buttons. I don't know how to do this in PyGTK though, only in C.
You might also consider whether the buttons in the tab space are really what you want. What if the user resizes your notebook small enough that some of the tabs disappear? Where do the previous tab/next tab arrows go? What happens to the buttons?

I’m looking to create a pop up where by the user inputs data, then select one of two radio options by the UI seems to screw up when I have a combination of both text type and radio type in a pop-up.
Here is my code:
I was also looking for same thing today.
But look at this discussion, which says mixing of radio, checkbox or text box is not available right now.
I also tried to add mixture of radio and text field in alert. But styling never appeared correct.
I am moving on to implement this feature using a ionic page so that I can use Ionic Modal. This behaves as a modal window on large screen and as pushed page in smaller screen.
I needed to send back data from parent page to child page and other way too. Thus Ionic Modal suited best for this in my situation which can be used on component/page.
Refert to this detailed usage instructions for Ionic Modal.
Same feature has been requested from Ionic team.
OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used
In a webapp I have a list of items, each with a little information. I want to show more information when clicking on each item. I can pop a window using Bootstrap Modal, but I'd rather do something similar to what Google Image Search looks like.
When clicking on the item, I want to add some space below the item and fill it with the details.
Is there a control that already implements it? I couldn't find one. I'm using Bootstrap and jQuery.
If this doesn't solve your issue, it'll probably help.
I am trying to use monodevelop. Just at the beginning I came across an issue:
I was following a tutorial on building a Gtk application (http://monodevelop.com/Stetic_GUI_Designer). I was trying to drag a button from the Widgets Palette. Nothing happened. I'd been trying quite a few times without any luck.
After a break I launched monodevelop again and I simply placed a button on the window of the application. After that I removed it, dragged VBox container, and placed menu bar on the window, according to the tutorial instructions. I was pleasantly surprised.
By the second try the same problem occurred - I was not able to drag any widgets. Dragging was beginning, there was a “+” sign at the cursor and then - nothing was happening. I cannot figure out what happened by the first time, what the difference was. Have anyone had a similar problem? Monodevelop looks promising, but I can't go on with it. (I tried placing 'Fixed' container on the window, with no result - I could not drag it.)
(monodevelop v. 2.4, ubuntu 11.04, Polish language.
I did look for an answer to my problem, without much luck, that is why I post this question. The problem is described quite precisely. There is a probability that others encountered the same issue.)
You need to drag a container on the form first before you can add widgets to it. The VBox container is an example of a place where you can put your widgets.
If you want to place widgets where ever you want you can use the Fixed container. If you want things to align you can use the VBox, HBox or Table containers. Placing in a widget in one of the fields will automatically adjust the size of this field to fit the widget you have dragged into it.
So basically,
Create a form
Drag a container on the form
Drag a widget inside the container.
These widgets are not to be confused with the custom made widgets (in your Solution browser, right click the folder User Interfaces and click Add Widget...). These are like forms. I use these to create GUI's in advance so I can call these while the program is running.
FYI: if you want to create code for a widget (like a button) you can't just double click it like in Visual Studio. You need to select it, the go to the properties pane, and change the tab from Properties to Signals. You can then double click the "signal" to create the event for which you want to create code. For a button this is usually the Clicked event (somewhere at the bottom of the list, you'll need to open the Button Signals)
You can always visit the IRC channel of Monodevelop on irc://irc.gimp.org/monodevelop (IRC.Gimp.org #monodevelop)
I also sit in this channel and can help with smaller problems and I also still use Monodevelop 2.4.
I'm adding a toolbar to my application and currently I'm adding some toggle buttons to the toolbar. I don't like using the default JButton because it is big and clunky (even if I remove the margins). Are there any libraries for easy creation of toolbars and toolbar buttons that look more native? Particularly, I'd like the buttons to look flat unless the user rolls over them or they are selected (like in Eclipse).
thanks,
Jeff
Instead of adding the JButton directly to the toolbar, create an Action and add the action instead.
The toolbar will create an appropriate JButton that looks correct.
Additionally, set toolbar.setRollover(true), which will make all the buttons flat, except when the mouse is over it.
Oh, and if you don't want it to be floatable, set toolbar.setFloatable(true).
Those three things, and with a correct L&F, the toolbar usually looks very professional
Generally speaking, we shouldn't be mucking around with button margins ourselves unless we're trying to do something extremely custom.
