1) project your windows with glade, add your components, forms, buttons, ...
2) to make program respond clicking define apropriate callbacks in section
'signals'
e.g. for button, signal "pressed"
3) build code by a button at the toolbar of glade main window (traditional
way)
4) edit your files - in callbacks.c you will find an empty fuction that will
be called
when picked button was pressed - you can create there another window and
show it
or just show if it is created already, in another callback you can hide it
or destroy
(don't show destroyed window). Use functions from the GTK API, or that
provided
by glade in interface.h (window creators) and support.h (lookup_widget).
Edit main.c to determine what to show at the start.
5) compile [run]
