GtkBuilder in GtkAda?

Hi,
Does GtkAda provide Ada API:s towards the GtkBuilder functions found in GTK+ >=2.12? I'd like to use Glade-3 (3.6) when building my next API, that's why I'm asking.

GtkBuilder has not been bound yet. If people would like to contribute such bindings, that'd be very welcome! Arno _______________________________________________ gtkada mailing list gtkada@... http://lists.adacore.com/mailman/listinfo/gtkada |

Do You think it would require lots of work creating such a binding? Do You have any advice documentation describing how to create GTK bindings?

I haven't looked at the GtkBuilder API, so can't really comment. I'd guess it's not a trivial binding, but creating bindings in general is not rocket science. > Do You have any advice documentation describing how to create GTK bindings? I'd suggest looking at how other APIs have been bound by looking at existing gtk-*.ad{s,b} files.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I've started experiencing some but have a question on what the "preferred GtkAda way" is. I'm binding the C function which is declared as: guint gtk_builder_add_from_file (GtkBuilder *builder, const gchar *filename, GError **error); The function returns a 'guint' which is 0 on error, otherwise a positive 'guint', although having two "error flags" seems unnecessary (return value and error pointer). How would the corresponding GtkAda procedure/function declaration look? A straightforward translation could be (package Gtk.Builder): function Add_From_File (Builder : Gtk_Builder; Filename : String; Error : Glib.GError.GError_Access) return Glib.Guint; Should I use exceptions in case of an error? Another option is to return null on a successful call, i.e.: function Add_From_File (Builder : Gtk_Builder; Filename : String) return Glib.Error.GError; What way corresponds best with the ideas behind GtkAda? For clarification, the Gtk_Builder type is: type Gtk_Builder_Record is new Glib.Object.GObject_Record with private; type Gtk_Builder is access all Gtk_Builder_Record'Class; private: type Gtk_Builder_Record is new Glib.GObject.GObject_Record with null record; Kind Regards Robert ter Vehn -----Original Message----- From: Arnaud Charlet [mailto:charlet@...] Sent: den 24 juni 2009 09:50 To: ter Vehn Robert Cc: gtkada@...
