Dear Ifrit, thank you for your answer. I am getting closer but there are still problems.
I updated my StackOverflow question with the current code (see at the end of this mail): https://stackoverflow.com/q/49964906/4865723 > What you want is create your Gio.Action's and add them to anything > that implements Gio.ActionMap. Gtk.Application and > Gtk.ApplicationWindow both implement it so you can add the action to > them with the add_action method. You can see in my new code that the main problem now is how I create a menubar widget based on the XML-string and the Actions. I know that Gtk.Application has a add_menubar() method. But I don't want to have a Gtk.Application instance. Do I really need it? And what is about Toolbars? Gtk.Application doesn't have a add_toolbar(). I would prefer to handle the widgets for Menubar and Toolbar by myself. > The gtk3 python tutorial deals with Gtk.Application and Gio.Action > but if you want more in depth docs see > https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GAction This is a very interesting page. It started with a lot of C-code. I overread in the past that there is Python code also. See section "Adding actions to your GtkApplicationWindow" on that page. >From there I understand some better how to create actions and connect them to signals. But there is no menubar or a toolbar in that example. There is only a button. I need a menubar and a toolbar. Isn't there a way to create a menubar and toolbar without using XML and actions? I still see no advantage in that way (part of this question https://stackoverflow.com/q/49948612/4865723). > And this is much better asked on the general Gtk and Gtk app dev > mailing list as what you are confused about is the Gtk and Gio api > and how to use them, not so much with the python bindings. Please see https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contact.html I used the mailinglist mentioned there. My current code #!/usr/bin/env python3 import gi gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') from gi.repository import Gtk from gi.repository import Gio class Window(Gtk.ApplicationWindow): def __init__(self): Gtk.Window.__init__(self) self.set_default_size(200, 100) # self.interface_info = """ <interface> <menu id='TheMenu'> <section> <attribute name='foo'>Foo</attribute> <item> <attribute name='bar'>Bar</attribute> </item> </section> </menu> </interface> """ builder = Gtk.Builder.new_from_string(self.interface_info, -1) action_bar = Gio.SimpleAction.new('bar', None) action_bar.connect('activate', self.on_menu) self.add_action(action_bar) menubar = builder.get_object('TheMenu') # layout self.layout = Gtk.Box(orientation=Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL) self.layout.pack_start(menubar, True, True, 0) self.add(self.layout) self.connect('destroy', Gtk.main_quit) self.show_all() def on_menu(self, widget): print(widget) if __name__ == '__main__': win = Window() Gtk.main() _______________________________________________ python-hackers-list mailing list python-hackers-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list
