I need to retrieve sensitive state of a widget.If you are only interested in enabled/disabled state, you should probably try reading the "sensitive" property:
FAQ states I can use the get_state() method, but unfortunately I could not find any trace about that method, in my pygtk installation.
>>> import gtk
>>> w = gtk.Window()
>>> w.get_state()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'gtk.Window' object has no attribute 'get_state'
Probably this is due to my configuration, pygtk is 1.99.14.
About get_state(), code generator produces only the following warning during the building phase. This does not seem connected to the problem, though:
> Could not write method GdkEvent.get_state: No ArgType for GdkModifierType*
Sorry to bother you all with that, but maybe you can figure out what happens here.
enabled = widget.get_prop('sensitive')
If you want to change the sensitive state, you should use widget.set_sensitive(). The widget state variable is used for more than just sensitivity, and won't necessarily do what you want (for instance, set_sensitive() will take care of child widgets). Generally set_state() is only useful to people implementing new widgets (although there are a few exceptions).
