Read from .glade

[ralfbrand50]

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="GtkWindow" id="TEVOinvoeren">
<property name="visible">True</property>
<property name="title" translatable="yes">Tevo - Invoeren</property>
<property name="type">GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL</property>
<property name="window_position">GTK_WIN_POS_NONE</property>
<property name="modal">False</property>
<property name="resizable">True</property>

<property name="gravity">GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST</property>
<property name="focus_on_map">True</property>

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.glade_file)

# look for widgets and get their widget type and name
for node in doc.getElementsByTagName('widget'):
widget = str(node.getAttribute('class'))
name = str(node.getAttribute('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.append((widget, name))
