[Java-gnome-developer] StatusBar issue + 2 questions

[Fred B. <cha...@ma...>]

Hello all

I am using the 2.6 libs from debian unstable. I am using eclipse 3.0 for
my IDE.

Questions first:
1) I have created a Window with glade, and I am tying it in my java code
via LibGlade. No problem thus far, except that I don't understand that
example
(http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/java-gnome/libglade-java/doc/examples/glade/LibGladeTest.java?rev=1.8&view=markup)

I have tried it in my own code, but with no success. I have to do
something like the following to be able to do something with my widgets:

gladeXml = new LibGlade("/home/fblaise/Glade/jgLDAP/jgldap.glade",this);
cboExistingConn = (ComboBox)gladeXml.getWidget("cboExistingConn");

If I don't getWidget() my object like this second line shows, despite
the fact my widget has the same name in Glade and in my code, I just get
a NullPointerException when I invoke anything on it. If anyone can shade
some light.. I guess it'd very cool to not manually map each widget, and
let LibGlade do it for you.

2) My glade project includes several windows. All my windows pop up when
I start the program. Is there anyway to prevent that? 

3) The StatusBar problem:
When I try to map my status bar like this:

statbar1 = (StatusBar)gladeXml.getWidget("statbar1");

It tells me this:
could not create widget: org.gnu.gtk.Statusbar


Thanks :)
