Using checkbox with python and Glade -

i'm new on using glade, yet i've made small examples , have never tried using checkbuttons, , make gui in following image:

the idea on , off buttons, print different message depending on checkbuttons selected. i've read what's on site " " , few more, dont have minimal idea how start. have @ least 1 such example: if checkbutton selected print: checkbutton selected , check whether selected or not.

to run interface know, did this:

from gi.repository import gtk  builder = gtk.builder() builder.add_from_file("port_manager.glade") handlers = {  }  builder.connect_signals(handlers) window = builder.get_object("windowport") window.show_all()  gtk.main() 

can please give me simple example of using checkbox please ? did gui in glade manually not programming.

first of all, you're using gtk.builder connect_signals method assumes you've declared signal handler method names (callback methods) via glade.

anyway, can programmatically. example, have common callback knows checkbutton triggered , useful (more messy unless code reusable) or setup individual handlers/callbacks each checkbutton.

let's take example , setup handlers. approach be, first 3 checkboxes, attach concrete callback checkbox 1 , 2 , attach generic handler checkboxes 1, 2 , 3:

import gi gi.require_version('gtk', '3.0') gi.repository import gtk  def on_checkb1_toggled(button):     if button.get_active():         state = "active"     else:         state = "inactive"     print "checkbutton 1 toggled, state " + state  def on_checkb2_toggled(button):     if button.get_active():         state = "active"     else:         state = "inactive"     print "checkbutton 2 toggled, state " + state  def on_checkbutton_toggled(button, name):     if button.get_active():         state = "active"     else:         state = "inactive"     print "common handler: checkbutton " + name + " toggled, state " + state  builder = gtk.builder() builder.add_from_file("port_manager.glade") handlers = {  }  builder.connect_signals(handlers) window = builder.get_object("windowport")  ## added code  checkb1 = builder.get_object("checkbutton1") checkb2 = builder.get_object("checkbutton2") checkb3 = builder.get_object("checkbutton3") # ...  checkb1.connect ("toggled", on_checkb1_toggled) checkb2.connect ("toggled", on_checkb2_toggled)  checkb1.connect ("toggled", on_checkbutton_toggled, "1") checkb2.connect ("toggled", on_checkbutton_toggled, "2") checkb3.connect ("toggled", on_checkbutton_toggled, "3")  window.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit)  ## end added code  window.show_all()  gtk.main() 

running code, console output (example):

$ python checkbuttons.py  checkbutton 1 toggled, state active common handler: checkbutton 1 toggled, state active checkbutton 2 toggled, state active common handler: checkbutton 2 toggled, state active common handler: checkbutton 3 toggled, state active common handler: checkbutton 3 toggled, state inactive common handler: checkbutton 3 toggled, state active 

as can see, common method (on_checkbox_toggled) triggered checkboxes 1, 2 , 3 , can identify them name. checkboxes 1 , 2 have concrete , distinct handler (on_checkb1_toggled , on_checkb2_toggled respectively).

you can choose approach suits best. advise check python gtk 3 tutorial has examples can try.

good luck.
