FVWM::Module::Gtk2

NAME

SYNOPSIS

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    use lib `fvwm-perllib dir`;
    use FVWM::Module::Gtk2;
    use Gtk2 -init;  # preferably in this order

    my $module = new FVWM::Module::Gtk2(
        Debug => 2,
    );

    my $dialog = new Gtk2::Dialog;
    $dialog->signal_connect("destroy", sub { Gtk2->main_quit; });
    $dialog->set_title("Simple Test");
    my $button = new Gtk2::Button "Close";
    $button->signal_connect("clicked", sub { $dialog->destroy; });
    $dialog->action_area->pack_start($button, 1, 1, 0);
    $dialog->show_all;
    my $id = $dialog->window->XWINDOW();

    $module->addDefaultErrorHandler;
    $module->addHandler(M_ICONIFY, sub {
        my $id0 = $_[1]->_win_id;
        $module->send("Iconify off", $id) if $id0 == $id;
    });
    $module->track('Scheduler')->schedule(60, sub {
        $module->showMessage("You run this module for 1 minute")
    });

    $module->send('Style "Simple Test" Sticky');
    $module->eventLoop;

DESCRIPTION

This manual page details only those differences. For details on the API itself, see FVWM::Module.  

METHODS

eventLoop

From outward appearances, this methods operates just as the parent eventLoop does. It is worth mentioning, however, that this version enters into the Gtk2->main subroutine, ostensibly not to return.

showError msg [title]

This method creates a dialog box using the GTK+ widgets. The dialog has three buttons labeled ``Close'', ``Close All Errors'' and ``Exit Module''. Selecting the ``Close'' button closes the dialog. ``Close All Errors'' closes all error dialogs that may be open on the screen at that time. ``Exit Module'' terminates your entire module.

Useful for diagnostics of a GTK+ based module.

showMessage msg [title]

Creates a message window with one ``Close'' button.

Useful for notices by a GTK+ based module.

showDebug msg [title]

Creates a persistent debug window with 3 buttons ``Close'', ``Clear'' and ``Save''. All new debug messages are added to this window (i.e. the existing debug window is reused if found).

``Close'' withdraws the window until the next debug message arrives.

``Clear'' erases the current contents of the debug window.

``Save'' dumps the current contents of the debug window to the selected file.

Useful for debugging a GTK+ based module.
