[Glade-users] changing the title on the main window.

[urifrid at yahoo.com (Uri)]

thanks for the help, but why do i need to pass a reference to a button, i just
want to change the title when, for example, the user entered a number.
is there any way to call gtk_window_set_title() simply from a function?

the reason i am asking is because the function i am using is a simple callback
funtion for a timer, there are no paramters, not gtkwidgets, etc.

thanks for the help

Use gtk_window_set_title() but pass the reference of the main window... 
not a new window using gtk_window_new...


void on_button_clicked (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer user_data);

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    GtkWidget *window;
    GladeXML *gxml;
    
    /* libglade */
    gxml = glade_xml_new ("glade1.glade", NULL, NULL);

    /* get window reference */
    window = glade_xml_get_widget (gxml, "window1");

    /*
    connect function to button clicked signal and pass reference
    to window as user data
    */
    glade_xml_signal_connect_data (gxml, "on_button_clicked",
                G_CALLBACK(on_button_clicked), window);

    /* show the window */
    gtk_widget_show (window);

    /* gtk main loop */
    gtk_main ();

    return 0;
}

on_button_clicked (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer user_data)
{
    /* Window is passed in user data. Use it to change the title */
    gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(user_data),
                "This is the new title");

}
