Re: libglade connections

Hey, I don't have time to research it right now. But I had an idea for another type of signal connection, if you actually wanted to connect to a method of a Glade object. Suppose you have a button called 'button1' which is inside a window called 'window1'. And you wanted to connect button1's "clicked" signal so that it invokes window1's destroy() method. In regular PHP-GTK you would do: $button->connect_simple('clicked', array($window, 'destroy')); In Glade I think we can do it by specifying the handler as "window1->destroy". I can easily write code to parse this and connect things properly. But here we do need to differentiate between simple and normal connections (or even replaced ones), so prefixing it with something may be useful. -Andrei On Nov 7, 2005, at 1:54 AM, Steph Fox wrote:

Hey Andrei, OK, I tried to think of one example when a calling object might need to be carried as part of the signal to a _static_ function or method, and I honestly can't. Heck, Glade 2 doesn't even allow for it, and I can't think of anywhere GTK+ does either, and this is a wrapper around libglade _as it exists_, not as it may be in the future. Where the calling object's passed to the callback with the signal, it's never a static call. How could it be? How could you have $window->Gtk::main()? You might have a callback like GtkContainer::do_stuff($container), but that's catered for... If you (or anyone?) can come up with any serious examples that render those arguments invalid, please do so and I'll revert (albeit unhappily, because I think the existing solution's a good one). Remember, this doesn't affect static methods belonging to classes created in user space - it's purely about internal class methods. - Steph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrei Zmievski" <andrei@gravitonic.com> To: "Steph Fox" <steph@zend.com> Cc: "PHP-GTK dev" <php-gtk-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 9:15 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-GTK-DEV] libglade connections

Bah, thanks for consulting me too. This is not as simple as it looks. Can you guarantee that any internal class method that .glade file may wish to connect to will need only simple connection? What if there are methods that actually need to have the signal widget? -Andrei On Nov 5, 2005, at 10:22 AM, Steph Fox wrote:

ps signal_autoconnect_instance() is brilliant :) The only remaining problem's having to tag those statics, we shouldn't

need

OK, crash gorn. Statics still weird.

Andrei, I just tested some of the changes using a bog-standard no-clever-object-business test script. signal_autoconnect() works for everything except static calls (i.e. gtk::main_quit doesn't work any

more),

no leaks, congrats (but can we have our static support back please? -

since

Glade actually encourages it. At present it's seen as a straight connect() - it needs to go as connect_simple()). signal_connect() crashes whatever you try to do to it, haven't

investigated

why yet. Mind if I play? - Steph -- PHP-GTK Development Mailing List (http://gtk.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
