Desired ocaml example code using a glade file,

Checked on the internet examples using lablgtk2, but there was no example

for using a glade file to generate a user interface.

(Libglade is included in the liblgtk2 library, so the glade module is

available.)

Did anyone ever used it. Is there a code example or tutorial for using it

available somewhere?



Thank you

Hi,

(in my debian) lablgtk comes with 'lablgladecc2'
which parses a glade file and generates ocaml classes (on stdout)
it still uses libglade and the glade file, but it offers a cleaner
interface
(without type-casting)

that's the way I indirectly use libglade in lablgtk.

Just found lablgladecc2.

It will create an ml program but it have a line in it:



method reparent parent =

dialog_vbox1#misc#reparent parent;

toplevel#destroy ()



And top level is not defined, so it will not run.

As I just wrote:

lablgladecc2 should be used to generate an ml file from the glade file.

The missing toplevel (Window) might have to do with the warning messages

when converting some glade files.

For example converting a filechooserdialog I get warning messages:

Warning: Widget filechooserdialog1::GtkFileChooserDialog is not supported

Warning: Widget filechooserdialog1::GtkFileChooserDialog is not supported

Warning: Widget gnomeapp1::GnomeApp is not supported

Warning: Widget gnomeapp1::GnomeApp is not supported

Warning: Widget gnomeapp1-dock1::BonoboDock is not supported

Warning: Widget bonobodockitem1::BonoboDockItem is not supported



and the toplevel window is missing from the code.



However a GtkDialog glade file does not have warning messages and converts

correctly.

I believe there is even an mlglade but you're probably best off asking on
the caml-list or the lablgtk mailing list.
