Read from .glade

[ralfbrand50@gmail.com]

Hello,

I've got the following problem: I've got a Userinterface that is made
in Glade, so i've got a
..glade file. What I want is to get the id's of every widget from the
class GtkEntry from a given window.

The glade file is like

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?<!--*- mode: xml -*-->
<!DOCTYPE glade-interface SYSTEM
"http://glade.gnome.org/glade-2.0.dtd">

<glade-interface>

<widget class="GtkWindo w" id="TEVOinvoere n">
<property name="visible"> True</property>
<property name="title" translatable="y es">Tevo - Invoeren</property>
<property name="type">GTK _WINDOW_TOPLEVE L</property>
<property name="window_po sition">GTK_WIN _POS_NONE</property>
<property name="modal">Fa lse</property>
<property name="resizable ">True</property>
<property name="destroy_w ith_parent">Fal se</property>
<property name="decorated ">True</property>
<property name="skip_task bar_hint">False </property>
<property name="skip_page r_hint">False</property>
<property name="type_hint ">GDK_WINDOW_TY PE_HINT_NORMAL</property>
<property name="gravity"> GDK_GRAVITY_NOR TH_WEST</property>
<property name="focus_on_ map">True</property>
<property name="urgency_h int">False</property>

<child>

<widget class="GtkWindo w" id="TEVOklantto evoegen">

</widget>
<packing>

</child>

You want to use one of the XML processing libraries. The simplest (and should be fine for this use) is dom.

Here is some code I wrote as part of GladeGen - see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7421
that you should be able to easily extract the piece you need:

doc = xml.dom.minidom .parse(self.gla de_file)

# look for widgets and get their widget type and name
for node in doc.getElements ByTagName('widg et'):
widget = str(node.getAtt ribute('class') )
name = str(node.getAtt ribute('id'))
if self.top_window is None and widget == 'GtkWindow':
self.top_window = name

# if the widget type is in list of widgets user specified
# in config file, include it in the list

if widget in GladeGenConfig. include_widget_ types:
# (widget type, name)
# ('GtkWindow', 'window1')
self.widgets.ap pend((widget, name))
