[pygtk] Replacing a widget using libglade?

[Bil Simser]

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to figure out how to leverage libglade with my pygtk app. I have
a window that contains a vbox with menu at the top and status bar at the
bottom. I have a custom widget in code (inherited from gtk.DrawingArea) that
I want to slip in between the menu and status bar. I'm not sure how I can do
this without just ignoring the glade file and loading the widgets manually
into a new vbox. I tried just adding in a stock DrawingArea widget onto my
glade form and replacing it with something like this:

 

self.stockDrawingArea = self.widgets.get_widget("drawingAreaPlaceHolder")

self.stockDrawingArea = CustomDrawingArea()

 

but of course that just assigns the object twice.

 

I can do something like this in my code:

 

Vbox = gtk.Vbox()

Vbox.pack_start(widgets.get_widget("menuBar"))

Vbox.pack_start(CustomDrawingArea())

Vbox.pack_start(widgets.get_widget("statusBar"))

 

But that seems like I'm misusing glade.

 

Any suggestions?
