PyGTK Radio Button
Ok, I will predetermine this by being GTK and Python newb, but I couldn't find the information I needed. Basically, I have a list of radio buttons, and based on which it is being checked, I need to connect the button to another function. I tried to create all my radio buttons and then create a disgusting if / else block to check sget_active()
on each button. The problem is that the same button returns true every time. Any ideas?
Here's the code used:
#Radio Buttons Center
self.updatePostRadioVBox = gtk.VBox(False, 0)
self.updatePageRadio = gtk.RadioButton(None, "Updating Page")
self.updatePostRadio = gtk.RadioButton(self.updatePageRadio, "Updating Blog Post")
self.pageRadio = gtk.RadioButton(self.updatePageRadio, "New Page")
self.blogRadio = gtk.RadioButton(self.updatePageRadio, "New Blog Post")
self.addSpaceRadio = gtk.RadioButton(self.updatePageRadio, "Add New Space")
self.removePageRadio = gtk.RadioButton(self.updatePageRadio, "Remove Page")
self.removePostRadio = gtk.RadioButton(self.updatePageRadio, "Remove Blog Post")
self.removeSpaceRadio = gtk.RadioButton(self.updatePageRadio, "Remove Space")
#Now the buttons to direct us from here
self.returnMainMenuButton = gtk.Button(" Main Menu ")
self.returnMainMenuButton.connect("clicked", self.transToMain)
self.contentManageHBoxBottom.pack_start(self.returnMainMenuButton, False, False, 30)
self.contentProceedButton = gtk.Button(" Proceed ")
self.contentManageHBoxBottom.pack_end(self.contentProceedButton, False, False, 30)
if self.updatePageRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.updatePage)
elif self.updatePostRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.updatePost)
elif self.pageRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.newPage)
elif self.blogRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.newBlogPost)
elif self.addSpaceRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.newSpace)
elif self.removePageRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.removePage)
elif self.removePostRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.removeBlogPost)
elif self.removeSpaceRadio.get_active():
self.contentProceedButton.connect("clicked", self.removeSpace)

Edit: (since you posted some code) just use:
active = [r for r in self.updatePageRadio.get_group() if r.get_active()][0]
and use this to search in the function dict and call it:
my_actions[active]()
Edit: I completely forgot to mention that this is not very useful for RadioButtons, a regular gtk.Button would be much better in my opinion.
Your answer is to use the "RadioButton" group system. This is explained in this document , but here's a small practical example.
First, the group is actually just the RadioButton itself, which is used to collect a number of other RadioButtons. You supply the group as the first argument to the constructor.
r1 = gtk.RadioButton(None, label='Cat') # this has no group, it is the first
r2 = gtk.RadioButton(r1, label='Mouse') # use the first radio
# button as the group argument
r3 = gtk.RadioButton(r1, label='Dog') # again use r1
All switches will now be in sync. And the matter of reading them is as simple as:
active_radios = [r for r in r1.get_group() if r.get_active()]

First, I'm assuming there is a typo and you are actually calling get_active () in your code and not set_active ()? Apart from that, without seeing the code, I can point you to the pygtk manual about radio buttons
