Re: [Java-gnome-developer] LibGladeStubs usage

[Nicola L. <nic...@gm...>]

Hi. You didn't get me completely right.
I know that generating code from glade files is deprecated (like the
glade-2 c/python source generator), and one should use LibGlade that
creates the windows reading the glade file at runtime.

In this way you have to write a "LibGlade interfacing" class that
looks like the one here:
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/bin/view/Main/GladeGUIS
where you puts a method for each event handler in the glade file, like this:

public void on_window1_delete_event(LifeCycleEvent s)

Now, what i was searching for is not a code generator like the one
above, but a program that generates "LibGlade interfacing" class.
This becouse i find boring to copy all event handlers that are present
in the glade file as methods on the class. You have to check the
spelling etc, etc. Also, i don't know what kind of parameters this
methods should have.

This could be done with a program that takes the glade file and
generates an Interface like this:

package xxx;
import xxx;

interface Gladexxx  {
 	void on_window1_delete_event(LifeCycleEvent s);
	void on_open_activate(MenuItemEvent s);
        void on_button_click_event(???Event s);
        etc etc
}

So that, by implementing the interface, you know your class will
capture all glade file events.
Or, instead of an interface, it could generate an abstract class..
that's only to see what is more convenient.
Once you change the glade file, you can regenerate the class without problems

I like this kind of code generation. If you know Torque
(http://db.apache.org/torque/) or XMLC (http://xmlc.enhydra.org) you
know what i mean :P

Greetings.
