I am making an interface where you have to be logged to enter. So at sign in window I put a button to open a modal window (about dialog). It works fine, but just once, I mean: this window can be opened and closed, but if you try again, it fails. I can not realize why and I am quite begginer. The Glade code is:

And my python code is:
#!/usr/bin/python
from gi.repository import Gtk
class Handler(Gtk.Window):
def onDeleteWindow(self, *args):
self.destroy()
Gtk.main_quit(*args)
def onAboutPressed(self, button):
about = builder.get_object("aboutwin")
about.run()
about.destroy()
builder = Gtk.Builder()
builder.add_from_file("v0.glade")
builder.connect_signals(Handler())
main = builder.get_object("signinwin")
main.show_all()
Gtk.main()
I can't tell you what exactly what the error is, but it might be that you assigned the wrong signals in Glade. I switched the close event from GtkDialog --> close to GtkDialog --> response. It probably is also better to only get the AboutDialog when you need it, so I put it into its own class. I am also a beginner, but the code should work now:
#!/usr/bin/python
from gi.repository import Gtk
class AboutDialog:
def __init__(self):
self.builder = Gtk.Builder()
self.builder.add_objects_from_file("v0.glade", ("aboutwin", ""))
self.ab = self.builder.get_object("aboutwin")
self.builder.connect_signals(self)
def on_aboutdialog_response(self, widget, signal):
print("About close with button or (x)")
self.ab.hide()
def run(self):
self.ab.run()
class MainHandler(Gtk.Window):
def on_delete_window(self, widget, signal):
print("Main window closed")
Gtk.main_quit()
def on_about_pressed(self, button):
print("Run About Dialog")
about = AboutDialog()
about.run()
def main():
builder = Gtk.Builder()
builder.add_objects_from_file("v0.glade", ("signinwin", "") )
builder.connect_signals(MainHandler())
main = builder.get_object("signinwin")
main.show_all()
Gtk.main()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
