Button How to intercept signal from a istance of class into another class

[AngeloP ()]

Problem:
I have a main window class
( Attntion: are two distinc classes )

class mywin extends GtkWindow
{
 ...constructor...
...

// Now I Instantiate buttons class  
$three_buttons = new mybuttons()
$vbox -> pack_start($three_buttons,0);  
...... ..etc...
end constructor

function OneFunction()
{
    make something
}

}

class mybuttons extends GtkHbox
{
.... constructor

    $button_a=new GtkButton("Open");
     $this -> pack_start($button_a,0);  

    $button_b=new GtkButton("Run");
     $this -> pack_start($button_b,0);  

    $button_c=new GtkButton("Close");
     $this -> pack_start($button_c,0);  
 
     $close_c->connect("clicked", array($this,"OnClose")); // note 6
     
...... end cosntructor

function OnClose ($widget )
{
Here I would call the function OneFunction() in class where it is Instantiate
How can I make it ???
}

}




Thanks

This is a basic PHP and object oriented programming question - please
read the manual.

To access any method in a child class (a class that extends another
class) you use parent

so onClose should call parent::OneFunction();

I think you have not understood
It is not possible use this sintax parent::OneFunction();
because the  mybuttons  doesn't  extends mywin class
at this moment I use one method that find parent window for button


In class mybuttons ...

// find window parent
      public function get_window(){
          $parent = $this;
          do{
            $w = $parent;
            $parent = $w->get_parent();
          } while($parent != null);

          return $w;
        } // Fine cerca window parent

And then callback

        function OnClose($button)
        {
       
         $win =$this->get_window();
         $win->myfunction();

        return true;
        }

Ok, I got it.

As the first class (mywin) is not the parent class of the second class
(mybuttons), it does not make sense to call parent::... as you have
mentioned.

The right way to do that is to pass the callback signature of the first
method (OneFunction) as an attribute of the mybuttons object OR create a
method in mybuttons class to receive this signature (the same way the
connect() method works).

The simplest way is:

$three_buttons = new mybuttons();
$three_buttons->my_callback = array($this, 'OneFunction');

This way, you have stored this callback inside the $three_buttons
object. But remember the ENCAPSULATION principles... It's better to
create a method to receive this... ;-)

Now, you can use the property my_callback inside the OnClose() method,
this way:

call_user_function($this->my_callback);
www.php.net/call_user_func

But take care with this. If you need $this->my_callback available in the
constructor method of the mybuttons class, you'll need to pass the
callback signature in its constructor method. Because the way I told
you, this signature will be available just before the instantiation...

I hope it's usefull for you.
