Hey guys, I am a new user of java-gnome and let me just start off by saying thank you to all the developers who have provided this great library. I am new to dsigning GUI's so excuse my naiveity. I was going through the tutorial given on the main java-gnome site. Everything seems to work fine. Only that when I click the Quit button or the Help/About button, I get nothing. As far as i can see through the code, I think both of these click should lead to their respective events? I am attaching my java file along with this e-mail for you guys to look over. Oh and my specs: debian sid kernel 2.6.4 with the Sun 1.4.2 sdk compiler and VM. Thanks Rishabh |

Could someone please help me with this. I have understood the rest of the tutorial but an not able to do much since i do not yet understand howto execute click events from the menu. I am attaching a smaller file for review. thanks Rishabh On Fri, 17 Sep 2004 00:54:46 -0500, Rishabh Manocha <rma...@gm...> wrote: > Hey guys, > I am a new user of java-gnome and let me just start off by saying > thank you to all the developers who have provided this great library. > I am new to dsigning GUI's so excuse my naiveity. > I was going through the tutorial given on the main java-gnome site. > Everything seems to work fine.

I've only looked at this quickly, but it seems that you've defined a listener for menu item events but not told the menuitems to use that listener. To make them use a listener, you must call MyMenuItem.addListener( MyMenuItemListener ) for each of them. One probably more important recommendation I have is to try using glade instead -- This makes it far easier to construct java-gnome guis. Unfortunately, development of the glade tutorial is stalled at the moment, but you should be able to pick it up easily enough. Ask here if you need more help -- .''`.

hey guys,
I changed the createMEnu section to so(I noticed that App has a method
called setMenuBar which accepts a MenuBar object):
public void createMenu() {
MenuBar bar = new MenuBar();
MenuItem child = new MenuItem("File",false);
Menu file = new Menu();
MenuItem quit = new MenuItem("Quit",false);
quit.addListener(new ItemListener() {
public void itemEvent(ItemEvent event) {
fileExit();
}
});
file.append(quit);
child.setSubmenu(file);
bar.append(child);
this.app.setMenuBar(bar);
}
However this does not show a menubar at all. I feel I am so close but
yet so far.
Could someone pleaaaaase help me.
Thanks

Yeah, I tried that and ended up being tricked by the same inadequacies
of UIInfo that you were. It's just not a very good way to do things.=20
What I've settled on is using libglade for basic window layout, because
it's really good at taking care of all the mundane property setting l
(like packing on VBoxs, window sizes, gravity, etc) - and then I use
straight up GTK calls to add elements to the UI as I need them.
In particular, I've been testing libgtkhtml. There is *no* Glade support
for GtkHtml widgets (that's not a Java issue - it's a Glade one). Rather
than giving up on glade, I simply get the container that's where I want
to put the widget from libglade (in this case "vbox1"):
LibGlade glade =3D null;
HTMLView gtkhtml =3D null;
try {
glade =3D new LibGlade("htmltest.glade", this);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
=09
VBox vbox =3D (VBox) glade.getWidget("vbox1");
instantiate the GtkHTML widget,
HTMLDocument doc =3D new HTMLDocument();
try {
doc.loadFile("htmltest.html");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
gtkhtml =3D new HTMLView();
gtkhtml.setDocument(doc);
gtkhtml.setMinimumSize(10,40);
and then pack the widget on the end of the vbox.
vbox.packEnd(gtkhtml, true, true, 0);
vbox.showAll();
Works pretty well.

umm...I dont seem to be able to compile files with glade objects. I
cant seem to find the libglade.jar file??
I am using debian and i issued the command given on the java-gnome
website to install all the packages.
here is all what i have:
ii libglade0-java 2.6.0.1-7 Dummy package to aid upgrade
ii libglade2-java 2.6.0.1-7 Java support for libglade gnome interface
ii libgnome0-java 2.6.0.1-7 Dummy package to aid upgrade
ii libgnome2-java 2.6.0.1-7 Java framework for creating GNOME applicatio
ii libgnome2-jni 2.6.0.1-7 Java framework for creating GNOME applicatio
ii libgtk0-java 2.6.0.1-7 Dummy package to aid upgrade
ii libgtk2-java 2.6.0.1-7 Gtk framework for Java
ii libgtk2-jni 2.6.0.1-7 GTK framework for Java
ii libjava-gnome- 2.6.0.1-7 API docs and example apps for GTK/GNOME java
I know i might be irritating some people out here...but can someone
help me with this. I did get the libglade package from the sf site but
the src directory does not seem to compile and hence i cant create the
jar file myself. I will try to do this again though.
In the meanwhile...any and all suggestions are welcome...:)

Hi,
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Do you have a call to showAll() in your code?

Thanks for writing back, but i have managed to slove this problem. My
problem now is the About window not accepting any click events.
I will reply to the e-mail you sent.

Rishabh,
I have also been going through the tutorial and have come against the
same problem you have with the event listener . How did you resolve
it ?

I didnt find a solution persay. All i did was started using glade to
do all the GUI designing work. That took care of everything. I would
suggest doing the same. It really cleans up your code.
