Libgda-UI has the GdauiLogin widget, which you then have to include in a dialog if you want. You can have a look at the libgda-ui/demos/login.c or copy and adapt the tools/browser/login-dialog.[ch] files. The reasons I've removed the login dialog widget are: * LibgnomeDb's implementation was very basic and did offer very little * most importantly it was not useable directly by applications as each application has different needs when opening a connection, such as: - maybe several connections can be opened at once (as for the GdaBrowser tool), - what to do if opening the connection fails? - does the application allow using DSN or not? So trying to make a widget answer all these questions was more trouble than forcing the user to design his own login dialog. > > Btw, gnome-db.org tells that communication can go through irc on the > #gnome-db channel, but this channel seems not used at all. Yes, I'll change that info ASAP. Regards, Vivien _______________________________________________ gnome-db-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-db-list
