Gtk2::GladeXML::Simple is a clean object-oriented interface to Gtk2::GladeXML.

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp;
use base qw( Gtk2::GladeXML::Simple );

sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new( $gladefile );
return $self;
}

...

# Signal handlers are methods of your class
sub on_button_clicked {
my $self = shift;
# You have access to your widgets directly
# or using $self->get_widget( widget_name )
my $button = $self->{button1};
}

Gtk2::GladeXML::Simple is a module that provides a clean and easy interface for Gnome/Gtk2 and Glade applications using an object-oriented syntax. You just make Gtk2::GladeXML::Simple your application's base class, have your new call SUPER::new, and the module will do the tedious and dirty work for you.

Gtk2::GladeXML::Simple offers:

Signal handler callbacks as methods of your class.
sub on_button1_clicked {
my $self = shift; # $self always received as first parameter
...
# do anything you want in a OO fashioned way
}

Autoconnection of signal handlers.

Autocalling of creation functions for custom widgets.

Access to the widgets as instance attributes.

my $btn = $self->{button1}; # fetch widgets as instance attributes by their names
my $window = $self->{main_window};
my $custom = $self->{custom_widget};

Requirements:
Perl
