GTK Interface (with C++)

| Hi all,
I'd like some oppinions based on your experience. I'm using C++ to
build a gtk based interface. I though about using glade. The question
is: is glade a good choice? Is it easy to extend the interface later
on? Or is it better to learn gtk-- and build the interface manually?
Cheers,
Paulo Matos

Do both. Use Glade to design the interface, then load the interface
at runtime using libglademm. You can do this quite simply with
Gtkmm.
Glade will never be a substitute for writing code: you still need to
know the GTK+ C or C++ API in order to make it do something useful.
The Glade code generation also gives no structure to your code, since
it's just a bunch of callbacks. If you use C/GObject or C++, you can
derive from all the GTK+ objects and do a proper job.
There's a simple example here:

| Great, seems a very good solution. I'll do that. Didn't know about
libglademm  . Now, I can work the interface in glade and I don't need
to fiddle with automated code created by glade.
Thanks a lot,
Paulo Matos
