[java-gnome-hackers] Constructor for org.gnu.gtk.ProgressBar

[Philip A. C. <pc...@td...>]

I'm working on filling out org.gnu.gnome.AppBar.  One of the native
functions is gnome_appbar_get_progress, which returns a handle to the
GtkProgressbar used by AppBar.  Is it possible to get a constructor=20
created so that I can construct an ProgressBar widget from the handle? =20

One of the biggest problems is that it would have to be public since I
need to call it from a org.gnu.gnome package class.  I dislike this kind
of constructor being public.  Maybe, I can implement
org.gnu.gtk.ProgressBar's methods in org.gnu.gnome.AppBar and call the
appropriate Progressbar native calls with the handle returned by
gnome_appbar_get_progress.  Honestly, I like this even less than the
public constructor that takes an int for handle.  It defeats the whole
idea of object oriented programming, but it's a suggestion.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?  Maybe, the user of our bindings
doesn't need to use the ProgressBar inside of AppBar.  However, I think
we're going to have to answer this question at some point since there
are other composite widgets.
