[Glade-users] glade and/or gtkmm, insert a FileChooserDialog inside a Notebook tab

[jagernicolas at legtux.org (Nicolas Jäger)]

Hi,
thanx, but actualy, what you send to me, looks pretty close to what I
have. My problem is, I want to use only one window for the whole
application.

Then, when I work on tab and I want to save what I'm doing, after
clicking on save I don't want to open a window or a file chooser dialog.

But what I want to do instead, it's having the file chooser opened in
one tabs in my main window.

As I said, my problem by doing that is I don't have a run() function
who can returns the response.

regards,
/nicoo
