FB_Calc, an example for a small GTK application

Post by TJF »

Image

This example is about a small GUI calculator. The UI is realized with GTK and has been designed with Glade3. That way the source code can be compiled and executed under windwos and LINUX.

The GUI design is created in Glade3 and saved as GUI-XML-file. This file gets loaded at runtime and the UI is generated regarding its content. For further improvement the file can be edited in Glade3 later on. For successful execution this code has to be saved as 'FB_Calc.ui' in the project folder

Code: Select all

The matching FB code gets created by GladeToBac. Start it and load 'FB_Calc.ui'. Then edit your parameters and choose menu 'Execute->Generate FB files'. This will create some new files in the project folder and -- accordingly to your parameters -- in a 'tobac' subfolder. A list of all created files will be shown. The main file is named after the *.ui file. Here it's called 'FB_Calc.bas'.

When compiling this main file unchanged, some error messages will be shown. This is due to #ERROR lines in the code. The #ERROR lines are to mark the places to extend the code by your individual features.

In the following source code the #ERROR lines are replaced by the necessary FB statements and for easy handling all source files are bundled in one. Save this code as 'FB_Calc.bas' in to your project folder. For successful compiling the header from GladeToBac and a GTK installation >=2.16 is needed (due to GtkBuilder).

Code: Select all

Have fun by checking this out!

And later on, have fun extending the calculator features. After changing the FB_Calc.ui file the FB source has to be updated with GladeToBac. (Therefor you need to separate the source in to the original files -- make a new code frame and copy the code from here.)

For updates see this link.

How do you type all those codes without missing a typo , THere must be a way for you to automatically emit those codes

There're lots of typos in my posts here.

You're right, most of this code is auto-generated:
  • First code block (GUI-XML-file) is written by the GUI designer Glade3.
  • Second code block (.bas-file) is created by GladeToBac. Then I added about 40 lines.
  • When I finish a peace of code I use the code beautifier FBeauty to set all keywords in upper case characters.

Hi TJF,

On the 301st and 350th lines of the FB_Calc.ui, there are some symbols that is problematic. The division symbol and the +/- symbol.

Code: Select all

Fehler/Error (GTK-Builder):
Error on line 301 char 61: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text in name - not valid '�'
Like above.
Anyway, I solved by changing the characters but, I wonder the reason.
Btw, I'm running Archlinux and KDE4.7
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the report.

One reason may be that your character set doesn't support these symbols. I tested under Ubuntu11.04 and windows XP. On both systems I get the desired characters.

To get these symbols you may need to install an additional mathematical character set? Do you see the right symbols here in your browser? (If not, what else do you see?)
  • ÷ (= DIVISION SIGN, UTF-8: 0xC3 0xB7 = &#247, since vers 1.1, symbol - mathematic)
    ± (= PLUS-MINUS SIGN, UTF-8: 0xC2 0xB1 = &#177, since vers 1.1, symbol - mathematic)
If you see the symbols then your character sets are OK. Check your Editor/IDE. By any reason the character encoding in your code tag here has been changed ('&#65533' is not the right encoding -- on windows often ISO8859 is forced). This difference may be caused by saving the file by an IDE with bad parameters (use no character encoding or force UTF-8) or your IDE may be uncapable to handle UTF-8 at all (I recommend to use Geany).

I can see the characters in Firefox. I use Scite for editing my FB code, and although I set it to encode UTF-8, there were problems when I copied and pasted to it from this very page. Nevertheless, I switched to Geany (I was using it for PHP already) and everything is normal now.
Thank you.

Great, that's what I like to read here.
