I am trying to create 10 Gtk::Buttons without going
Gtk::Button *button1 = new Gtk::Button;
Gtk::Button *button2 = new Gtk::Button;
Gtk::Button *button3 = new Gtk::Button;
...
Gtk::Button *button10 = new Gtk::Button;
grid.add(*button1); grid.add(*button2); grid.add(*button3); //...
A Qt but similar question is here
I have tried the Qt example, but it has filename and I don't know it is for.
For string array (a list with "button1","button2","button3") loop will generate pointer errors here
grid.add(*button1)
^_______
What I need to happen is to generate dynamic naming for the Buttons' variables and then perform
grid.add(*button1);
grid.add(*button2);
grid.add(*button3);
...
grid.add(*button4);
Trying to make my question clear I ended up picking information from various people and combined it to the following
main.cpp
#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <map>
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
auto app =
Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv,
"org.gtkmm.dynamic.buttons");
Gtk::Window window;Gtk::Grid grid;
window.set_default_size(600, 600);
std::string name = "button";
std::map<std::string, Gtk::Button*> all_buttons;
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
Gtk::Button *button = new Gtk::Button("Button " + std::to_string(i));
all_buttons[name] = button;
grid.add(*button);
}
window.add(grid);
window.show_all_children();
return app->run(window);
}
