GTKmm Problem

I just did this:

Started Anjuta --> Created an GTKmm Project

and i got this main.cc:

/* -*- Mode: C; indent-tabs-mode: t; c-basic-offset: 4; tab-width: 4 -*- */
/*

#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <iostream>



/* For testing propose use the local (not installed) ui file */
/* #define UI_FILE PACKAGE_DATA_DIR"/test/ui/test.ui" */
#define UI_FILE "src/test.ui"
   
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
    
    //Load the Glade file and instiate its widgets:
    Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Builder> builder;
    try
    {
        builder = Gtk::Builder::create_from_file(UI_FILE);
    }
    catch (const Glib::FileError & ex)
    {
        std::cerr << ex.what() << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }
    Gtk::Window* main_win = 0;
    builder->get_widget("main_window", main_win);
    if (main_win)
    {
        kit.run(*main_win);
    }
    return 0;
}

Did i understand anything wrong or what? There is a main (no Class or something else, just a function) and in this the Window gets created. How should i interact with the Window? i cant acces the window outside the main() isnt it?

Re: GTKmm Problem

ok nevermind, i throw Anjuta away from my computer

Sometimes he translates C++ stuff like public on

class Window : public Gtk::Window

into the german word "öffentlich"

class Window : öffentlich Gtk::Window

Re: GTKmm Problem

you don't have to use that template file

anyway for GTK development I'd recommend vala over C++, since even though i think C++ is the better language, vala better integrates with GLib/GObject etc.

Re: GTKmm Problem

For Gtk development I'd recommend PyGtk, at least for most inexperienced users.  It's a lot easier to see and understand the class hierarchy and relationships between objects in Python.

Re: GTKmm Problem

im using Eclipse for C++ from now on and it just works fine. It works awesome^^

i had to set up some include paths but then it works awesome

But now i have a problem

I have a file called UI.glade and in this File i have an window1 (created with Glade for sure).

When im doing this

Window *w;
Builder b;
b.create_from_file( "UI.glade" );
b.get_widget( "window1", w );

im getting this error

(Main:24635): gtkmm-CRITICAL **: gtkmm: object `window1' not found in GtkBuilder file.

(Main:24635): gtkmm-CRITICAL **: gtkmm: Gtk::Buidler: widget `window1' was not found in the GtkBuilder file, or the specified part of it.

that gives no sense
