Solution

  • See example here: https://xrob.wordpress.com/2007/04/20/creating-a-gui-application-using-glade-and-ruby/

    We want to change something in the application so we will need to assign a variable to the widget that we want to alter. We want to alter “label1” and so we insert this code in the button1_clicked function.

    @myEntryBox = @glade.get_widget(“myEntryBox”)
# You can now access properties like '@myEntryBox.text'
# Refer to documentation for exact name of the attribute
