Re: [Vala] Genie, subclassing and some help!
Hey, Got this compiled after a little hassle, for people that want the command: valac --vapidir=./ --pkg gtk+-2.0 --pkg appindicator-0.1 --pkg webkit-1.0 indicator.gs webkit_view.gs main_window.gs main.gs with the appindicator.vapi in the same dir as the files. It should compile, assuming you have all the dependencies n things in place. It just pops up in the same place as all my other icons, so LXDE supports appindicator stuff. :-) Cheers, -Harry PS: Pretty impressed with WebKit, never had sources that used it before.. it will be used for projects in the future! ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

Why is this/is this on purpose? Maybe you understand this already, just in case though: Gtk needs to be initialized before you can use it (display any widgets or even create them). The function that does this is *Gtk.init() *Then you create some widgets, ie *Gtk.Button.with_label(Hello); *, add this to a window etc... And then to hand control over to Gtk, we call *Gtk.main()*. This function lets Gtk actually *DRAW* the window on the screen, and its is only now that the window is actually SHOWN to the user. (Despite that it was created long beforehand). Hence that these 3 steps are nessisary in your main() function. The reason that its a very good idea to put *Gtk.init() *and *Gtk.main() *in your *main()*, is this: If you want to show 2 toplevel windows, and you've got *Gtk.main()* in your class' init function, Gtk is going to create your class, and then show the window. (ie: pass control of the thread to Gtk.) This is going to halt the program exectution until this window is destroyed, and then your program gets control of the thread back, and the next class' init will be called, and that window shown. Don't think I explained that 100%, but hope you understand me anyway. Cheers, -Harry Thanks Harry for the explanation, it makes it a bit clearer, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem :-( Perhaps it is easier for Abderrahim and Harry if I just put my code online and tell you what is not happening. The file that are concerned are main.gs and indicator.gs The problem is that the wAppIndicator class defined in indicator.gs and created in main.gs does not show. However if I take the functions in the wAppIndicator class, put them into a function and just apply the functions to an instance of Indicator (the class from which wAppIndicator is subclassed from) and add Gtk.main() on the end (which means I have two overall), it then works. The problem is really why it doesn't work in the first place :-( BZR branch with code in (if you need it in other form, please don't hesitate to ask): https://code.launchpad.net/~and471/+junk/not-working -- Andrew ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

For me, that seems like it works : valac is now using
APP_INDICATOR_TYPE_INDICATOR_CATEGORY , so the problem is that it
isn't in the included header. You need to add the correct header
(app-indicator-enum-types.h in this case, AFAICS) to cheader_filename
(separate by a comma).

P.S. Don't forget to report all this once you get it to work : the
vapi is broken and this isn't the proper way to fix it.
Thankyou very much you are a star! I shall resubmit that vapi file as well
Just two more questions:
1) I have to use the code below to do what I want it to, can I put this
in the init of the class cuz it doesn't appear to work
def create_indicator()
var ind = new wAppIndicator(wasiliana-wapp, indicator-messages,
Category.APPLICATION_STATUS)
ind.set_status(Status.ACTIVE)
ind.set_attention_icon(indicator-messages-new)
var menu = new Menu()
for i:int = 1 to 3
var buf = Test-undermenu
var menu_items = new MenuItem.with_label(buf)
menu.append(menu_items)
menu_items.show()
ind.set_menu(menu)
Gtk.main()
2) Perhaps related, in the main.gs file, I have:
init
Gtk.init(ref args)
create_indicator()
Gtk.main()
However, if I don;t put the Gtk.main() in the function above (rather
than the init), it doesn't work. Why is this/is this on purpose?
Nearly there.. :-)

Ignore that, I managed to do the APP_INDICATOR_TYPE correctly in the

Attached is the vapi file, could you point me in the right direction?

add type_id=APP_INDICATOR_TYPE_INDICATOR_CATEGORY just like you did

Nope doesn't work, the error is:
/home/andrew/Software/Projects/wasiliana/src/indicator.vala.c: In
function ‘wapp_indicator_category_from_enum’:
/home/andrew/Software/Projects/wasiliana/src/indicator.vala.c:82: error:
‘APP_INDICATOR_TYPE_INDICATOR_CATEGORY’ undeclared
For me, that seems like it works : valac is now using
APP_INDICATOR_TYPE_INDICATOR_CATEGORY , so the problem is that it
isn't in the included header. You need to add the correct header
(app-indicator-enum-types.h in this case, AFAICS) to cheader_filename
(separate by a comma).
HTH,
Abderrahim
P.S. Don't forget to report all this once you get it to work : the
vapi is broken and this isn't the proper way to fix it.

Hi, 2010/6/25, Andrew rugby...@gmail.com: Thankyou very much :-) That seemed to work and hopefully I shall try less ambitious things next time :-) However now I get this error, is this a bug in the library (this is without invoking a new instance of the subclass, just compiling the definition of the subclass)? /home/andrew/Software/Projects/wasiliana/src/indicator.vala.c: In function ‘wapp_indicator_category_from_enum’: /home/andrew/Software/Projects/wasiliana/src/indicator.vala.c:82: error: ‘APP_INDICATOR_TYPE_CATEGORY’ undeclared (first use in this function) [...] /home/andrew/Software/Projects/wasiliana/src/indicator.vala.c: In function ‘wapp_indicator_get_type’: /home/andrew/Software/Projects/wasiliana/src/indicator.vala.c:160: error: ‘APP_INDICATOR_TYPE_INDICATOR’ undeclared (first use in this function) I've told you this library is weird. Looking at the sources, these are APP_INDICATOR_TYPE_INDICATOR_CATEGORY and APP_INDICATOR_TYPE respectively. So the bindings need to be fixed: you need to add type_id=... (replacing the ... with the above types) to the CCode attribute of the enum/class. HTH, Abderrahim ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

[Vala] Genie, subclassing and some help!
Hi guys, I am a programmer coming form python and I am trying to get to grips with Genie. One problem I am having is as follows: Say I have a class called Gerrard and to create a new version of this class, I use the following: var g = new Gerrard(arg1, arg2, arg3) Now I wish to subclass Gerrard, into the class Terry. However I wish to be able to create a new version of Terry as follows: var t = new Terry(arg1, arg2, arg3) How do I do this in Genie? In Python I would simply give the __init__ method the same arguments and then call Gerrard.__init__(self, arg1, arg2, arg3). I have gathered from some people that it has to do with the construct method and calling a 'base' function, however I am at a loss at what to do.
