i just started learning Glade with python , I create a simple glade file and i have added several buttons , i have also added a add button, and i want the add button to add a new button to "mainBox" object which is the child of the "window1", i am using the below given python code but it is not working as it only prints done but does not add any button to the GUI , What am i doing wrong? Thanks

So , the thing i want to do with add button is to create another button in boxMain object so , i tried this code
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk','3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
builder = Gtk.Builder()
builder.add_from_file("test.glade")
box = builder.get_object("boxMain")
class Handler:
def on_back_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_destroy_clicked(self, button):
Gtk.main_quit()
def on_forward_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_refresh_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_home_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_information_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_delete_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_add_clicked(self, button):
button1 = Gtk.Button()
button1.set_label("Button")
box.pack_start(button1,True,True,0)
print("done")
builder.connect_signals(Handler())
window = builder.get_object("window1")
window.show_all()
Gtk.main()
but this code is only printing done and not adding any button to the GUI , can anybody help? Thanks
You are not showing your button with button1.show().
As an aside, a better way of writing your code would be:
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk','3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
class GUI:
def __init__ (self):
self.builder = Gtk.Builder()
self.builder.add_from_file("test.glade")
self.builder.connect_signals(self)
window = self.builder.get_object("window1")
window.show_all()
def on_back_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_destroy_clicked(self, button):
Gtk.main_quit()
def on_forward_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_refresh_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_home_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_information_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_delete_clicked(self, button):
pass
def on_add_clicked(self, button):
box = self.builder.get_object("boxMain")
button1 = Gtk.Button()
button1.set_label("Button")
box.pack_start(button1,True,True,0)
button1.show()
print("done")
GUI()
Gtk.main()
