Create a tag that is used to tag each of the clickable names. Then connect a handler to the "event" signal of the tag. See the following for more info:Hey there...
I posted this question once, but the suggestions that i got didnt quite work out, so i guess , i wasnt able to make the problem understood in the first place. So i reframe the question ...
Basically, i want to make some text clickable ( Please note that it isnt some predefined static text.. so.. i cant make buttons out of it.. )
The text in my case, is a list of names of objects ( which i display on the interface after getting them as a result of a query to the server ) ..
Now, i want each name to be clickable ( so that on clicking that, i can send a query for info of that object to server n display content which i get in response )
Currently, the list of names that i display is using a text buffer which displays the names of objects (text) .. will i be able to make text displayed in such a text area clickable ?? if yes .. how ??
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtktexttag.html#signal-gtktexttag--event
on the event handler signature.
For example:
def hyperlink_handler(tag, textview, event, iter): if event.type == gtk.gdk.BUTTON_RELEASE: #figure out which hyperlink name was clicked and query ...
buffer = textview.get_buffer()
tag = buffer.create_tag("hyperlink", foreground='blue')
tag.connect('event', hyperlink_handler)
iter = b.get_iter_at_mark(b.get_insert())
b.insert_with_tags(iter, name, tag)The testtext.py example in the PyGTK tutorial has an example of handling tag events:
