How to add widgets on GUI developed with Glade?

Question

I am using Quickly and Glade for the first time. I want to add certain widgets such as label and buttons on viewport via python code. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. If you haven't already loaded the glade file the load it with:

builder = gtk.Builder()
builder.add_from_file("/path/to/file")

Replace "/path/to/file" with the path to the glade file. You can then get the container like the viewport:

viewport = builder.get_object("nameOfViewport")

Replace "nameOfViewport" with what you named it in glade. You can then add the widget using the view ports add() method:

viewport.add(nameOfWidget)

Replace "nameOfWidget" with the name of the widget you want to add.

Edit: Make sure you initialize the widget with something like

nameOfWidget = gtk.Label()

for a label widget.
