Hello,
I'm writing a little app that needs 2 windows, a main window, and
another for entering data. I'm writing it using Glade, so both
windows
are defined in one glade file. The second one, emulates a entry
dialog,
and is modal.
My problem is that i want the second window displayed when i
click in a
button in the main window, and then, when i press "Close" in the
second
window, get the text and do some things, and update the main window
status bar.
I dont quite understand you here, it doesnt sound like a threads
issue,
more a design issue.
When I want to return stuff from a dialog I typically create my own
dialog subclass [1] which returns a tuple of the dialog specific
information from the (overridden run method). For example (excuse
broken
pseudocode)
class MyDialog(gtk.Dialog)
def __init__(self, setting1, setting2, setting3)
#call super
#save old settings
self.oldsetting1 = setting1
...etc
#construct dialog
self.widget1 = gtk.Entry()
self.widget1.set_text(setting1)
...etc
def run(self):
if gtk.Dialog.run(self) == gtk.RESPONSE_OK:
setting1 = self.widget1.get_text()
setting2 = self.widget2.get_text()
setting3 = self.widget3.get_text()
return setting1, setting2, setting3
else:
return self.oldsetting1, self.oldsettin2,
self.oldsetting3
then run it with
dialog = MyDialog(a,b,c)
a,b,c = dialog.run()
dialog.distroy()
Well, I've subclassed gtk.Dialog as you point, and I'm still having
the
same issue.
I run the dialog, enter the data and click OK. Then it was supposed to
hide the dialog, and update the statusbar while things are happening,
but in fact the gui freezes till the end.
Dialog.run() is the "problem".
From
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkdialog.html#method-
gtkdialog--run
"The run() method blocks in a recursive main loop until the dialog
either emits the "response" signal, or is destroyed"
To get the behavior you want, you need to set up a callback for the
OK button which fetches the text and performs the desired action.
The related code is here:

And a screencast of what is happening in here:

Any idea?

Here's a screencast of what i'm doing:
http://www.infinicode.org/code/out.ogg
What it was supposed to do is:
- Open the add window
- Enter the text and click close
- The add window closes
- In the main window status bar appears "Conectando..."
- The status bar changes to "Conectado!"
- A error dialog appers
Relevant code here:

Thanks in advance for any help
