Problem with GtkBuilder

[Aidin Gharibnavaz-2]

Hi!

I have a problem with glade, and GtkBuilder. I create a UI with glade, and load
it in my python application, using following codes:

   builder = gtk.Builder();
   builder.add_from_file("sample.glade")
  
It works nicely. But I can't add something to my containers using 'pack_start()',
'add_child()', or anything else. I do as following:

   builder.get_object('vbox1').add_child(mywidget)

 It don't throw any error, but also don't add 'mywidget' into the box.
 Is it possible to do something like this?
 The reason is that I have a custom widget, and I want to add it to my UI
 using code. (I couldn't add it to Glade's catalog. Glade's Doc didn't help)
 
 Thanks in advanced.

i wrote a simple howto to make a catalogs and pythonplugins

http://forum.promotux.it/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=79

It is in italian for now, i ll try to translate with my bad english.

I just migrate an ERP to gtkBuilder and i had some problems with custom widgets and adding elements to "box".
My experience tells that the problem is because gtkbuilder doesntt use "root" part in the builder so if you have a table inside a widget you can't take the table and add it to another part.  I "deparent" the table splitting parts in the same glade file and it works well.

I' ll waiting for PyObject in liststore build column to migrate also generic treeviews.

Are you sure "add_child" is the right method? I don't know much of
python, but guessing from my C experience for boxes it should be
something like "pack_start".

Hmm, is it possible that the toplevel 'vbox1' in your project that you are
trying to parent is set to be visible=false ? ... just a guess... it would be
a classic case of seems to not work...

Yes, it is possible. With boxes the methods pack_start and pack_end
are preferred. Remember you should show the widget after add it to the
box:

builder.get_object('vbox1').pack_start(mywidget)
mywidget.show()

If your widget is composed of multiple sub widgets, you should use:

mywidget.show_all()
