 Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 2:55 pm Post subject: Detatchable Window objects? |
 |
|
Is PHP-GTK2 capable of producing these? Like in The GIMP, where you can grab one of the tool boxes and remove it from the main window and vise-versa?[pull a toolbox into the main window]
If this is possible, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to achieve a similar result?
Thanks. |

The thing with the Gimp menus is called "Tearoffmenuitem". To make complete windows detachable, you have to implement some own things. E.g. removing the box from the parent and re-parenting it to a newly created window. I had the same question on the php-gtk-general or php-gtk-dev mailing list some months ago; and andrei told me how to do it. |

Yes, there is something like that. It's called a GtkHandleBox. Here's an example of using it with a menu:
| Code: |
<?php
/*
*File name: gtk_handlebox.php
*/
/*-- This function allows the program to exit properly when the window is closed --*/
function destroyapp($widget, $gdata)
{
print("Quitting..\n");
Gtk::main_quit();
}
/*-- This function allows the program to exit properly when the window is closed --*/
function ClosingAppWindow()
{
print("Quitting...\n");
Gtk::main_quit();
}
$window = new GtkWindow(); /*-- Create the new window --*/
$vbox = new GtkVBox(false, 0); /*-- Create the vbox --*/
$text = new GtkTextView(); /*-- Create a text area --*/
$handlebox = new GtkHandleBox(); /*-- Create the handlebox --*/
$menubar = new GtkMenuBar(); /*-- Create the menu bar --*/
$menuFileHeader = new GtkMenuItem("File");
$menubar->append($menuFileHeader);
$menuEditHeader = new GtkMenuItem("Edit");
$menubar->append($menuEditHeader);
$menuHelpHeader = new GtkMenuItem("Help");
$menubar->append($menuHelpHeader);
$menuFile = new GtkMenu();
$newItem = new GtkMenuItem("New");
$menuFile->add($newItem);
$openItem = new GtkMenuItem("Open");
$menuFile->add($openItem);
$exitItem = new GtkMenuItem("Exit");
$exitItem->connect_simple("activate", "ClosingAppWindow");
$menuFile->add($exitItem);
$menuFileHeader->set_submenu($menuFile);
$menuEdit = new GtkMenu();
$undoItem = new GtkMenuItem("Undo");
$menuEdit->add($undoItem);
$copyItem = new GtkMenuItem("Copy");
$menuEdit->add($copyItem);
$cutItem = new GtkMenuItem("Cut");
$menuEdit->add($cutItem);
$menuEditHeader->set_submenu($menuEdit);
$menuHelp = new GtkMenu();
$aboutItem = new GtkMenuItem("About");
$menuHelp->add($aboutItem);
$menuHelpHeader->set_submenu($menuHelp);
$bufferStuffer = "Go to the file menu and select Exit to close the application.";
$text->set_editable(true);
$window->connect("destroy", "destroyapp");
$handlebox->add($menubar);
$vbox->pack_start($handlebox, false, true, 0);
$vbox->pack_end($text);
$window->add($vbox);
$text->set_editable(true);
$text->set_wrap_mode(Gtk::WRAP_WORD);
$buffer = $text->get_buffer();
$buffer->insert_at_cursor($bufferStuffer);
$window->set_title("GtkHandleBox Demo");
$window->set_default_size(640, 480);
$window->show_all();
/*-- Start the GTK event loop --*/
Gtk::Main();
?>

Keep in mind that a GtkHandleBox can be used with any widget so, presumably, you could use it for a sub-menu or even a single menu item. This works with PHP-Gtk2, but I don't know about php-gtk1.

Great!
Thank you very much! GTK/GTK2 is something I am very new to. These forums are a god-send! Hehe. |

| What about any way of being able to drag a detachable item from one handlebox and attach it to another? |
