Using GDL

[Nicolas Joseph]

Hello,

I post originally on the gtk mailing list, but I think it better here, sorry if I'm wrong

I try to create a dockable application with GDL, but it doesn't works.

The code for populate the main application window:

  private void populate_window ()
  {
    Gdl.Dock dock;
    Gtk.HBox hbox;
    Gdl.DockItem item;
    Gtk.VBox main_box;
    Gdl.DockBar dockbar;
    Gdl.DockLayout layout;

    main_box = new Gtk.VBox (false, 0);
    this.add (main_box);

    main_box.pack_start (this.menu, false, true, 0);
    main_box.pack_start (this.toolbar, false, true, 0);
    this.fullscreen_toolbar = new FullscreenToolbar (this);

    hbox = new Gtk.HBox (false, 0);
    main_box.pack_start (hbox, true, true, 0);

    dockbar = new Gdl.DockBar ();
    dockbar.set_style (Gdl.DockBarStyle.TEXT);
    hbox.pack_start (dockbar, false, false, 0);

    dock = new Gdl.Dock ();
    hbox.pack_start (dock, true, true, 0);
    layout = new Gdl.DockLayout (dock);

    item = new Gdl.DockItem ("executables", _("Messages"), Gdl.DockItemBehavior.NORMAL);
    item.add (this.executables);
    dock.add_item (item, Gdl.DockPlacement.BOTTOM);

    item = new Gdl.DockItem ("projects", _("Projects"), Gdl.DockItemBehavior.NORMAL);
    item.add (this.projects);
    dock.add_item (item, Gdl.DockPlacement.LEFT);

    item = new Gdl.DockItem ("documents", _("Documents"), Gdl.DockItemBehavior.NORMAL);
    item.add (this.documents);
    dock.add_item (item, Gdl.DockPlacement.CENTER);

    main_box.pack_start (this.statusbar, false, true, 0);

    if (!layout.load_from_file ("layout.xml"))
    {
      critical ("error!");
      Gtk.main_quit ();
    }
  }

First, the items doesn't dock correctly (projects and document on the left and messages on the right).

Seconds, when I move an item, the others doesn't respond.

Last, the dockbar doesn't show.

 

The attached file, layout.xml is derived from the ajunta file.

 

Thank's in advance.

Hi Nicolas!

Well, I am not very familiar with the vala bindings of gdl so I cannot
say it this works. Have you tried to port one of the examples in gdl
(like gdl/test-dock.c) to vala and see if this works for you.

Actually, there hasn't been much development around gdl recently in
anjuta because most of the code hasn't been touched for long except for
some small enhancements.

I you want me to help you I would be better if you send a complete
compilable source (can be in vala if you like) so I can test it.

BTW, we really want some better vala support in anjuta and I am going to
integrate your ctags vala file (that was initially created as Anjuta
GSoC Project :) soon. Maybe we could try to create some independent
library for code completion where both projects could benefit.

Regards,
Johannes

I have create the binding, and effectively I have a bug this the
GdlDockBar and couldn't reproduce the widgets freezing.

Ok, I will write a minimalist source in C for more understing the GDL
(probably tomorrow).

Yes, I have added some cosmetics changes but there are still some bugs.

Currently, I use Valencia[1] for completion, it's a plugin for gedit with
(most) independant parser.

Hi!

You miss the call to

gdl_dock_layout_load_layout (layout, "__default__");

after doing load_from_file(). Probably the documentation is incomplete
at some point.

Johannes

Hi,

Thank's it works fine!

I still have one problem when I move an item I have the following error:

(valide.exe:7920): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_grab_remove: assertion `widget !=
NULL'
failed

And the other widgets are frozen. I don't have this error with the demo.
Have you an idea?

Hmm, I also don't get this with the demo and I didn't see this message
ever before. Regarding the .exe suffix - are you using a windows build?
Anyway, I could of course be a bug in gdl but without a test-case it is
difficult to say.

Regards,
Johannes

I know, it may be a known bug...

I have the problem under Windows and Linux.

But under Windows, the gdb backtrace is available. The debuger stop at
this line:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gdl/tree/gdl/gdl-dock-item.c?id=GDL_2_26_2#n1477

In view of the gtk_grab_get_current function code, I can be a problem with
my window group.
