gnocl::calendar

Given this module some attention today. Added some of the more package wide options to the module and created customised handler for setting the month. (For some odd reason months are are counted 0-11 whereas days are 1-31.) There's still a little more to do to this one including the addition of code to store diary details. Here's the working test script to show the range of options at work. The percentage substitution string item %e explores something that I've been toying with, the name of the signal/event that initiated the call. Ok, a script can keep its own internal trace but who knows, it might prove useful.

% gnocl::calendar
configure

calendar_update_details -1
calendar_update_details -2
calendar_update_details -3
calendar_get_detail -1
calendar_get_detail -2
calendar_get_detail -3

Hi Crisskross

Basically, the instructions which you've applied are not valid.

The segmentatation fault is arising from the interpreter trying to handle these instructions.

First of all thx for the fast reply. :)

What do you mean with not valid?

when i am trying to set t with:

set t [gnocl::calendar]

i am getting the following errors:

configure
demonstrate_details
calendar_update_details -1
calendar_update_details -2
calendar_update_details -3
calendar_get_detail -1
calendar_get_detail -2
calendar_get_detail -3
calendar_update_details -4
Segmentation fault

So what do you mean with the interpreter?

In that case I'm not sure where the problems are coming from. The test script given above still works on my machine even with the current build.

If this information is being output to the console then it looks like some the debugging comments typically generated. If this is the case, then the segmentation fault may be arising from a bad printf/g_print command in the sources.

I'll take at the sources look this evening.

Hello, did you find some errors?

I've tidied up the debug comments and so these should not interefere with your scripting.

I get no runtime errors at all.

The calendar implementation still needs a whole pile of work doing on it. Its ok, for selecting dates, but the Gtk+ widget has much more to offer, i.e data display.

Gnocl Dashboard

Over the past few programming sessions I've been working on producing a central point, a dashboard, around which it's possible to see the various Gnocl widgets and commands in operation. In many ways like the demo script which shipped with the earlier releases of Gnocl but offers much more. The introspection functionality provides details of the various options and sub-commands of each Gnocl procedure which are displayed under the associated tab. Sample scripts are included for each item which offers newcomers a clearer insight into how make the most of what's on offer.

Creating a button box with right aligned widgets

The dialog widget has its own internal functionaluty to create and position buttons at the bottom right corner of the window container. When creating these for ourselves it must be born in mind that default settings for fill and expand are both 0.5. Failing to set these will always place the child objects in the centre, regardless of alignment. For most cases these defaults are acceptable but, to create that dialog-button arrangement, use the following snippet as a model!   # to right align completely, set expand and fill to 0 set hbox [gnocl::hBox] set b1 [gnocl::button -text Select \                -data $lst                 -onClicked { puts DO-SOMETHING-WITH-%d} ] set b2 [gnocl::button -text Cancel -onClicked { puts DONE! } ] $vbox add $hbox -expand 0 -fill 0 -align right $hbox add $b1 $hbox add $b2
