GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 97503
Common properties not set for custom widgets
Last modified: 2011-07-19 23:25:51 UTC
I just played around with custom widgets in glade and it would seem that the common properties don't get set for those after the widget is created. This results in widgets not getting shown unless done manually, for example.
The worst effect of this is probably sensitivity, so you can't have a checkbutton controlling sensitivity of a custom widget without hardcoding the sensitivity in the widget creation function.
Still there in 2.5.1. Is someone working on this? Took me ages to figure out why I could access signals of my custom widget, but it didn't show up in the UI...
The GNOME Release team has officially deprecated libglade in favor of GtkBuilder[1]. So it's unlikely to get further development. I am closing bugs as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development. [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.devel.announce/28
