Gtk2::FileChooserDialog

[Paul Miller-13]

I have a hopefully simple question about Gtk2::FileChooserDialog
windows.

It seems most of my gnome applications have a desired behavior
that I can't figure out in my Gtk2.pm application.

On the file choosers, when you hit ctrl-L to enter a location
manually and type in a file, most applications allow me to hit
enter to emit a "file-activated" signal.

The dialog doesn't activate when I hit enter from the location
popup for me in my perl5.8 Gtk2-1.162 and I don't see a way to
add it.

If I could get to the widget, I could probably add an accelerator
or something as a workaround, but I don't even see a way to get
that far.

Did you set a default response on the dialog?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Gtk2 -init;


my $d = Gtk2::FileChooserDialog->new ("whee", undef, "open",
                                      'gtk-cancel' => 'cancel',
                                      'gtk-open' => 'ok');
$d->set_default_response ('ok');

if ('ok' eq $d->run ()) {
        print "chose ".$d->get_filename()."\n";
}

$d->destroy;

__END__

I certainly thought I did, but upon checking I did not.

This is all I needed.  Sorry about that.

I have a simple dialog with a text entry, some little things and an OK button.

When I'm in the Gtk2::Entry box, typing, and hit Enter, it seems to me it aught to click OK for me since I set the set_default_response for the Gtk2::Dialog.  If I'm sitting on the Gtk2::CheckButton next to it, hitting enter submits the form...

And I noticed that in the Entry box for FileChooserDialog s, enter submits the default response for the dialog.  So there must be some way to connect the Entry widget to the dialog.  How is that done?

I imagine it has something to do with the accel path, but it appears over my head.




A couple months ago, I asked this and the demo provided by muppet is relevant.

   $entry->set_activates_default (TRUE);
