I am using python3 with Gtk3 and i need to basically remove some widgets from my Gtk.Window and replace them with other widgets when a Gtk.Button is clicked.I have tried using Gtk.ListBoxes with Gtk.ListBoxRows and so far i can remove all the Rows from the ListBox but when i try to add them back,essentially nothing happens.This is part of my code:
def left_view(self, box):
listbox = box
row0 = Gtk.ListBoxRow()
row0.set_halign(Gtk.Align.START)
listbox.add(row0)
#Adding HorizontalBox to place widgets
hbox = Gtk.Box(spacing=10,orientation=Gtk.Orientation.HORIZONTAL)
row0.add(hbox)
prod_name = Gtk.Label()
stock_count = Gtk.Label()
prod_name.set_text('Product Name')
stock_count.set_text('Stock ')
self.prod_name_input = Gtk.Entry()
self.stock_count_input = Gtk.Entry()
#Packaging 101
hbox.pack_start(prod_name, True, True, 0)
hbox.pack_start(self.prod_name_input, True, True, 0)
hbox.pack_start(stock_count, True, True, 0)
hbox.pack_start(self.stock_count_input, True, True, 0)
the function will be given a Gtk.ListBox as the argument.And what i have so far when trying to remove() and add() things to the listbox is:
def remover(self,widget):
vbox = widget.get_parent()
base = vbox.get_parent()
children = base.get_children()
listbox = children[1]
for row in listbox.get_children():
listbox.remove(row)
with open('product_info.json', 'r') as d:
data = d.read()
j = json.loads(data)
d.close()
self.keys = list(j.keys())
row0 = Gtk.ListBoxRow()
listbox.add_child(row0)
scrollwindow = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
scrollwindow.set_hexpand(True)
scrollwindow.set_vexpand(True)
row0.add_child(scrollwindow)
tview = Gtk.TextView()
scrollwindow.add(tview)
textbuffer = tview.get_buffer()
for item in range(0, len(self.keys)):
textbuffer.insert_at_cursor(' %s\t\t %s \n' %(item, self.keys[item]))
By the way,If there is a simpler way of just replacing widgets on the go in PyGObject,please do let me know coz most of the answers that i saw on the related questions where totally useless
