[Java-gnome-developer] Glade forms

[Marc R. <ma...@sh...>]

Hi, I am new java gnome; it looks very interesting and I've decided to 
try it out. One of my questions is how do you create an instance of a 
Form. I designed it all in glade of course, but as soon as I run the 
program and load the glade file, _all_ of the forms I designed become 
visible (??) without me activating them in any way. If I close the 
forms, I can no longer show them by doing "form.show()" because the form 
has been disposed.

In swing, you do something like

JFrame frame = new MyForm1();
frame.setVisible(true);
....
frame.dispose();

and later on again, I can do that same code without any problems. Is 
there a similar mechanism using glade, or what is the recommended way of 
dealing with calling the same form multiple times. Also, how do you stop 
them all from appearing when I load the glade file.

Thanks for your time,
Marc
