That's quite ingenious Much better in fact than messing about with ## and sed.

Or in place of your COMMENT you could use:

technosaurus,
I must be missing something here.
Your example worked just fine for me. But I tried to modify it to use thunor's snip-its and failed.
I kept getting errors of gtkdialog environment not found among others.
An example of thunor's method would be very helpful in being able to use comments/rem in a gtkdialog script.

As a followup I tried to create a script using thunor's snip-its.

[technosaurus]

I prefer to use ash for my shell, because scripts run generally faster, but not being able to export functions requires using an --include file with the functions (so they get loaded twice and I have a rather large number of functions)

here is a partial solution, I am sure there could be some more case statements that would improve it:

Hi,
I'm using gtkdialog 0.8.0, in Wary with GTK 2.24.5, and I am having problems with the dimensions of windows created by gtkdialog. That is, either too high or too wide, or both.

For example, this is a simple window with vbox tags and a single text tag with markup, and one button. See the big gap at the bottom:

Here is another example. For this app I am being forced to use 'width-request' in the window tag -- without that, it looks like the attachment.

The window is simple structure:

Be aware that most widgets supports space-expand="true/false" and space-fill="true/false". They have become handy to get better control over the window scaling. In you example I would think it is the <text> widget which is the troublemaker. I Think it would be a good idea to place it inside a <hbox>

[BarryK]

zigbert,
Thanks for the feedback, but none of those suggestions fix it. They made no difference at all.

If anyone with more knowledge about gtkdialog would like to help me to fix this, here are some of the dialogs attached:

ok, rough I guess but it works .. the roughness is the flicker

[thunor]

Adding resizable="false" to both window tags is the solution.

In quicksetup within the text widget at the top with the markup, Gtkdialog enables wrapping by default so you might want to set wrap="false" since you can easily accommodate it within the bounds of the window.

Regards,
Thunor

I haven't been able to find any way to set checkboxes from other widgets. I can clear them okay (<action>if false clear:chkbx2</action>), but can't set them.

I have an interface with 19 checkboxes. They divide naturally into about 5 groups. I would like to be able to set a group of, say 3 or 6 checkboxes with one click, while still retaining the option of setting/resetting them individually, so I've made 5 other checkboxes of type <checkbox draw_indicator="false"> to work as toggling buttons. Unfortunately I can't find documentation on how to send a signal to the various normal checkboxes to set them. As I said, I can clear them easily with <action>if false clear:chkbx8</action>, but not set them.

The only actions I can find are:
closewindow:NAME
launch:NAME
disable:NAME
enable:NAME
refresh:NAME
save:NAME
fileselect:WIDGET
clear:WIDGET
removeSelected:WIDGET

Anybody got any ideas? I've tried every term that I could think of (set, active, select, etc), hoping that it just hasn't made its way into the docs yet, but without any luck...
