Tables don't work with GtkBuilder

[Thomas Leonard]

Probably a similar problem to #1022459, but events on GtkTreeView widgets created by GtkBuilder don't seem to work.

The attached test case opens a window showing two rows. Double-clicking on a row prints the values to stdout. StoryText reports:

ERROR: Could not find the relevant column IDs, so cannot describe tree view!

Thanks,

This looks tricky. Problem is that there is all sorts of magic in StoryText to handle gtk.TreeView, whose API has many set- functions and very few get- ones. In particular there seems to be no way to get at the attribute mapping from the cell renderers after the fact. So far it works by monkey-patching the set methods, but that's not an option here, as everything is set up in C code where I can't interfere with it.

The only way I can see to fix this is to actually parse the UI description myself and extract this information. Any better suggestions gratefully received...

Parsing the XML seems like a reasonable solution (the XML looks quite clean).

[Geoff Bache (geoff.bache)]

Fixed by parsing the XML. Your mileage may vary, but it works with the example you gave now.

There may also be more similar problems, particularly gtk.FileChooser I think may not work, feel free to send more along if and when you encounter them.
