Detailed Description

Configuration Client Allows you to associate widget "values" with configuration keys, and then load() and save() them all at once.

The "value" depends on the widget: Gtk::Entry - text (gconf string). Gtk::CheckButton, Gtk::RadioButton - active (gconf bool). Gtk::Range (e.g. scales and scrollbars) - position (gconf float). Gtk::SpinButton - value (gconf float). Gtk::Combo - text (gconf string). Gtk::OptionMenu - item number (gconf int); ideally we would prefer to use a string representation, but that's not realistic.

Advantages compared to Gnome::Conf::Client:

• Avoids repetition of key names.
• Avoids repetition of the directory name.
• Avoids manual code to get and set widget values.
• Avoids 2 sets of very similar code, for load and save.
• No need for Glib::RefPtr<>
• Can do instant apply and instant update with add_instant()..

Member Function Documentation

virtual void Bakery::Conf::Client::add (  const Glib::ustring &  key, Gtk::Widget &  widget )  [virtual]

e.g. conf_client.add("user_name", m_EntryUserName);

template<class T_Widget> void Bakery::Conf::Client::add_association (  const Glib::ustring &  key, T_Widget &  widget, bool  instant )  [inline, protected]

virtual void Bakery::Conf::Client::add_implementation (  const Glib::ustring &  key, Gtk::Widget &  widget, bool  instant )  [protected, virtual]

Override this method to add recognition of additional widget types to a derived class of Client. You must also provide an implementation for the specialization of Association<T> for the widget type(s) you are adding support for.

virtual void Bakery::Conf::Client::add_instant (  const Glib::ustring &  key, Gtk::Widget &  widget )  [virtual]

virtual void Bakery::Conf::Client::load (   )  [virtual]

virtual void Bakery::Conf::Client::save (   )  [virtual]
