Hallo,
i have already tried Gtkmm some time ago, than tried Gtk+ (C) and Gtk# but now
i came to the conclusion that Gtkmm is the right thing for me. So now i really
want to learn it. After writing some small examples by hand i have tried Glade
and libgaldemm. Therefore i have looked at the libglademm
documentation/examples. Because the examples has almost no comments who explain
it i have some questions:
1. the examples always name the variables for GUI elements pButton or
m_pButton. Why does they use the "p"? What does it stands for?
2. If i want to derive a window from a glade-window the example uses this
constructor:
DerivedDialog::DerivedDialog(BaseObjectType* cobject, const
Glib::RefPtr<Gnome::Glade::Xml>& refGlade)
Wat is this "BaseObjectType* cobject" and why does i need it?
3. if i connect the signals i have to write something like this:
m_refGlade->get_widget("quit_button", m_pButton);
if(m_pButton)
{
m_pButton->signal_clicked().connect( sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&DerivedDialog::on_button_quit) );
}
This looks OK for small example where i have to connect only few signals. But
if i think about real world applications with a menu-bar and a tool-bar i will
easily have 50 and more signals to connect. Writing 50 times this 5 lines will
result in 250 and more lines of boring code in my constructor. Is this really
the way to go or are there other ways how i can write it with less code or in a
more "sexy" way? How do you do this in real world apps?
Hope you can help me to get into Gtkmm and answerer this questions.
Thanks!
Markus
