Gtk::AboutDialog

[Andreas Volz]

Hello,

I added a Gtk::AboutDialog with glade to my project. Then I show it
with the code below:

void AppMenubar::onHelpInfoActivate ()
{
  Gtk::AboutDialog *aboutDialog = NULL;

  // Load the Glade file and reference its widgets:
  Glib::RefPtr<Gnome::Glade::Xml> xml_glade;
  try
  {
    xml_glade = createGlade ("AboutDialog");
  }
  catch (const Gnome::Glade::XmlError& ex)
  {
    std::cerr << ex.what() << std::endl;
    return;
  }
  // get the application window
  xml_glade->get_widget ("AboutDialog", aboutDialog);
   
  aboutDialog->show_all ();
}

The problem is that the AboutDialog doesn't close by pressing the close
button. What is the problem. I found no example code for the
AboutDialog.

Another problem is that my url is displayed blue, underlined and
clickable in glade, but as plain label while executing it.

Any ideas?

regards
Andreas

Did you try the modal / not modal setting?

What happens if you "run()" the dialog?

Does the 'delete window' (the right upper X) work?

Could you strip down your glade file to just the AboutDialog and attach it? We
then could try it.

I recently did several about dialogs, never encountered a problem
with 'close'.

Which GTK version are you using?

With regard to the URL: you need to add your own "lauch method" with
set_url_hook (const SlotActivateLink& slot), and yes, that is a bit  
painful... :-)

There is a (C) example in glade3-3.x.x/src/glade-window.c:        
gtk_about_dialog_set_url_hook...

Don't you have to add a signal handler to make a button press do
anything? I don't use glade so I don't know what all it add, but I
didn't think it added any code. This is what I've often done in the
past:

button->signal_clicked().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &Gtk::window::hide));

Put that in the constructor of your dialog, make sure you have
"button" defined, and you should be good to go. No gui code will do
anything without signal handlers.

Same result.

Same result.

Maybe later if nothing else works.

It's a Gtk::Dialog so you can either use ::run() and then check the response _after which you are yourself responsible for disposing or at least hiding_ the dialog, or connect to signal_response() and do there basically the same.

In other words, nothing will happen on CLOSE as it will only make it return a Gtk::RESPONSE_CLOSE (IIRC) from the run() function.
