hello all im trying to use the monodevelop interface designer to make an application.

on this form i have a few buttons and a few labels as you would expect however i can only modify the labels in the interface designer.

i.e. i want to change the text inside one of these labels, the name of the label is lblAns and its text field is blank.

so you would have thought you would type something like:

lblAns.Text( "my new text" );

however i get this error:

Code:

[Task:File=/home/cookie/doc/uni/bsc/cnpa/assignment_2/practical_8/src/part_2/learning_bridge/learning_bridge/MainWindow.cs, Line=44, Column=3, Type=Error, Description=The name `lblAns' does not exist in the context of `MainWindow'(CS0103)

????

????

ive even tried the old glade method( i didnt expect this to work ) at the top of the form:

[Widget] Gtk.Label lblAns;

however this also didnt work. please help, its driving me right up the wall!!!!

the only way i can find to do it is to include glade then assign label to a widget:

Code:

using System;
using Gtk;
using Glade;

public class MainWindow: Gtk.Window
{	

	[Widget] Gtk.Label label1;

	public MainWindow (): base ("")
	{
		Stetic.Gui.Build (this, typeof(MainWindow));
	}
	
	protected void OnDeleteEvent (object sender, DeleteEventArgs a)
	{
		Application.Quit ();
		a.RetVal = true;
	}

	protected virtual void button1_clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
		label1.Text = "hello";
	}
}
