Scroll bar for hbox and vbox

Thank you for creating this project.

Some applications like Puppy Linux pnethood 
(http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60672&start=22) have 
limitated functionality beacuase of windows size and monitor resolution 
restrictions.   I`ll like to request:

Add scroll bar for gtkdialog vbox and hbox

GtkScrolledWindow

http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/GtkScrolledWindow.html

"For widgets that lack native scrolling support, the GtkViewport widget acts as 
an adaptor class, implementing scrollability for child widgets that lack their 
own scrolling capabilities. Use GtkViewport to scroll child widgets such as 
GtkTable, GtkBox, and so on. "

Various improvements

Various improvements

Zigbert

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38608&start=510

1) Support connecting user action signals after the default signal handler: 
maybe <action signalafter="button-press-event">echo 
button-press_event</action>. They're all connected in widget_connect_signals.

2) A right-click menu.

3) <table> column sorting: a sorting function needs to be written and activated 
when a header is clicked.

4) <tree> rendering similar to <table> i.e. after shown: no idea about this.

5) Supporting <item stock=gtk-open>coloumn1|coloumn2</item> from an input file: 
see fill_tree_view_by_command.

6) (Moved to the scales/sliders feature request).

7) <menu> submenus.

Launch and Closewindow

Launch and closewindow are bugged but they've been patched to work. This 
example illustrates the behaviour:

{{{
#!/bin/sh

GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

export LAUNCHED_DIALOG='
    <window title="winClosewindow" resizable="false" margin="50">
        <button label="Closewindow">
            <variable>btnClosewindow</variable>
            <action>closewindow:btnClosewindow</action>
        </button>
        <variable>winClosewindow</variable>
        <action signal="hide">""</action>
    </window>'

export MAIN_DIALOG='
    <window title="winLaunch" resizable="false" margin="50">
        <vbox>
            <button label="Launch">
                <action>launch:LAUNCHED_DIALOG</action>
            </button>
            <button label="Closewindow">
                <action>closewindow:winClosewindow</action>
            </button>
        </vbox>
        <variable>winLaunch</variable>
        <action signal="hide">exit:Exit</action>
    </window>'

$GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG
}}}

You should be able to execute closewindow:LAUNCHED_DIALOG but instead any 
variable from the launched dialog has to be passed. Also, if you launch more 
than once then only the most recent will close. Any tidying-up of these 
functions will have to support the current behaviour for backwards 
compatibility.

I'm currently thinking about recording the program names on launch and maybe 
preventing duplicates from being launched. The application developer really 
should be creating unique program names if he wants to open duplicate dialogs.

clear or removeselected (delete).

Gtkdialog fixes spacing to 5, but the tags accept attributes and it's trivial 
to support spacing="value".

Feature: Scrollable windows

Previously posted at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=342785&#342785
As you can see, I wasn't sure exactly what needed to be implemented to enable 
this ;)
==================
I've been looking into the problem: "there are too many shares on my network so 
the pnethood window doesn't fit on my screen" (the same problem applies with 
too many partitions in pmount etc). 

It seems to me that it is currently impossible to make a scrollable part of a 
gtkdialog window to contain buttons and things (except maybe by using the glade 
interface?). Am I right about this? 

I think the solution is to implement the GtkScrolledWindow or GtkViewport 
container (or whatever you call it) in gtkdialog. It looks to me like it should 
be fairly easy for someone who knows what they're doing. I wonder if we have 
anyone confident enough with their C/Gtk... 

Are there other programs that would significantly benefit from this? If not I 
guess you could always say it would be better to rewrite pmount and pnethood in 
genie or something.

comboboxtext and comboboxentry searching

comboboxtext and comboboxentry searching.

Implemented in code and activated via a custom tag atttribute.

comboboxtext:
User presses a key, the next item that begins with that case insensitive char 
is selected and it'll wrap back to the first.

comboboxentry:
It can't be search-as-you-type because then the user would be trying to type 
something into the entry and the code would be attempting to set it to an item 
in the list, so the search code must be activated on Enter and it'll have to be 
done on the "activate" signal before the signal reaches the application. This 
could of course interfere with an <action signal="activate"> so the application 
developer is not going to want to use the both together.

Allowing Enter key to end entry input

When making a password script as in 01mico's example, pressing enter has no 
effect when I added the "Enter_Ok" code button in place of the one he used.
It seems logical that the user would enter his password and press Enter so can 
that be made to work?
This does not.
[code]
#! /bin/bash
export DLG='<window>
   <vbox>
    <hbox>
         <text>
     <label>Password</label>
    </text>

       <default>""</default>
       <visible>password</visible>

checkbox widget input file directive

checkbox widget input file directive.

I've noticed that <input file> is faster than <input> and the checkbox can be 
useful for executing code conditionally so this is important. Currently the 
checkbox menuitem is good for this but then you need a menu and menubar and the 
menubar doesn't accept tag attributes and so you can't hide it ;) Swings and 
roundabouts.

MAXWIDGETS

MAXWIDGETS

Currently hardcoded to 529.

The widget pointer array really needs to be dynamically allocated rather than 
the simple fixed size that it currently is. A GList linked-list is the solution 
and a priority since I'm writing something that uses a lot of widgets and I 
have to think about the limit which is silly.

Tree widget multi-selection mode

Tree widget multi-selection mode.

GtkSelectionMode

ode

A few functions require updating to cope with it (remove_selected_variable and 
widget_get_text_value).

The default is GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE but this allows it to be deselected. The 
mode that stops this deselection is GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE and would probably 
already work if set.

Setting the pixmap's image from a command

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=540188#540188

It basically amounts to adding a fill_pixmap_by_command function but with 
binary data that bash (etc.) doesn't support in shell variables, although 
vovchik has suggested using hexdump to convert the binary data into ASCII.

There's a nice piece about storing binary data within shell variables here: 
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/058

Currently unscaled images are loaded using the original gtkdialog method of 
calling gtk_image_set_from_file. This function is very useful as animated gifs 
animate after loading. Scaled images call gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size and 
then gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf, but animated gifs need to be managed 
differently as I have already found out (I've yet to write support for scaled 
animated gifs). So my initial thoughts are that this is going to be a lot of 
work using gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data and maybe gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple and then 
adding support for animated gifs on top of that.

"hbox" is likely a copy and paste error:

'

$GTKDIALOG --center --program=MAIN_DIALOG

Because the label plus image are inside a h/vbox inside the button, there is 
currently no control over the h/vbox.

This isn't a particularly difficult thing to do, it just needs some thought.

Setting properties through on_any_widget_realized is flawed

Setting properties through on_any_widget_realized is flawed.

The menuitems I've discovered aren't realized until viewed, and this also 
appears to apply to the notebook widget and everything within it. That results 
in tag attributes that are GTK+ widget properties hanging around waiting to be 
set and an action function could have modified the widget in that time!

I found this message within the ChangeLog:

* Wed Nov 29 2006 Laszlo Pere <[email protected]> 0.7.11
- The widget properties are set only when the widget is realized. This
  modification has been made because some properties can be set only if there
  is a parent window. (See 16.02.widget_properties_default for example)

Hello,
I say, thank you again for all your work on gtkdialog,
it's wonderful:)

Do you have any idea why in Ubuntu "function xxx () {....}" do not work?
apparently "export -f now" does not work,
Perhaps because of the default shell is dash by default?
ls -l $(which sh)

Notebook buttons to activate pages instead of tabs

Is it possible that you can add the ability to display a tab with a button if 
you hide the tabs with ==> show-tabs = "false", example:

    <notebook tab-pos="2" show-border="false" show-tabs="false"
        page="0" enable-popup="true" homogeneous="false">
        ...
        ...
        ...

If you add this option then much more complex GUIs could be made :)

gtkdialog create global variable/destroy global variable

From what I have read, gtkdialog does not support making/destroying global 
variables.
In Puppy, as a workaround variables are passed out of a function to an external 
file to be read back in for use in MAIN_DIALOG.
Being able to define a global variable in a function for use by the script 
would be great.

Although, from what I can find on the web, gtk does not support global 
variables.

Comments?

This also seems to be the problem with passing a variable from a function back 
to MAIN_DIALOG.
