Problem in using Glade to make GUI !

apanimesh061 · 12-05-2011, 09:54 AM

I made an FTP server-client in C.
I connected them using GUI made in glade !

I want to know how to use text entered in a text box as a command line argument.

This the code for Client.glade

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""client.pyw"""
import os
import sys
try:
 	import pygtk
  	pygtk.require("2.0")
except:
  	pass
try:
	import gtk
  	import gtk.glade
except:
	sys.exit(1)

class HellowWorldGTK:

	def __init__(self):
		
		#Set the Glade file
		self.gladefile = "Client.glade"  
	        self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(self.gladefile) 
		
		#Create our dictionay and connect it 
		dic = { 
                    "on_btnHelloWorld_clicked" :  self.btnHelloWorld_clicked,
	            "on_MainWindow_destroy" : gtk.main_quit 
                }
		self.wTree.signal_autoconnect(dic)

		dic = { 
                    "on_btnHelloWorld1_clicked" :  self.btnHelloWorld1_clicked,
		    "on_MainWindow_destroy" :  gtk.main_quit 
                }
		self.wTree.signal_autoconnect(dic)


        def btnHelloWorld1_clicked(self, widget):
		os.system('clear && gcc -o c ftpcli.c && ./c <Server IP Address>')
        def btnHelloWorld_clicked(self, widget):
		sys.exit(1)


if __name__ == "__main__":
	hwg = HellowWorldGTK()
	gtk.main()

I have attached a snap shot for your convenience.
The buttons work correctly.
I just want the IP address to be entered in the box and it be used as in the bold portion in the code above !

Please help !
Thanx !

Hi.

You've forgot to post "Client.glade" file? Look at this tutorial, especially at the `run' function (search for "def run"). You probably should do something like this:

Code:

widget = self.wTree.get_widget("widget-name")
IP = widget.get_text()
os.system('clear && gcc -o c ftpcli.c && ./c ' + IP)

You should also check that IP contains a valid IP address.

Hope this helps.
