First of all, hello to the list. I'm considering using glade for a project that would use a large number of customised widgets (not huge customisations, but a lot of them). Glade 3 would allow me to use these widgets by creating a catalog and importing it. The problem is that I would like to use mono/gtk#/glade# for this project. What I was wondering is if it would be possible to include these widgets in glade without glade having access to the objects in question.
I'll explaine. Suppose I have a widget derived from Entry, called ChkEntry (written in C#), and which adds regular expression bassed input verification, this modification adds 2 properties: RegExp (a string) and CheckOnTheFly (boolean, true means that the expression is checked for every keypress, false is checked just on exit). To implement this in glade, I'd create a catalog mywidgets with an entry like this: <glade-widget-class ide_name="GtkEntry" name="ChkEntry" generic-name="chkentry" title="Text Entry with input checking"> <property id="RegExp" default="^.*$"/> <property id="CheckOnTheFly" default="false"/> </glade-widget-class> when glade reads this it looks up ide_name for introspection, and adds the property tags on the end, but when it saves the .glade file, the class name used is ChkEntry. When Glade# loads this file, it looks for ChkEntry, which is writen in c# and as such is now available, and uses it like any other widget. What I'd like to know is if this is just pie in the sky, or could it work if I implemented it. Also, would a feature like this stand a chance of inclusion in Glade, or is there a reason to keep it out. TIA for your time David -- The price of being a sheep is boredom.
