UI looking for a radio button

lsc · March 12, 2025, 1:20am

Hi,
I am looking for a radio button for options, one where only one choice can be selected at any time, (have not found one). Since I am in the middle of development it is not a burning issue at this time (I am choosing after getting the options). Is there one an I am missing it or do I need to subclass the BooleanListOption? Thanks.

You can use Glade to lay out your interface (including Radio Buttons)

The SuperTool used Glade to layout its interface. It has a dialog with set of 3 radio buttons followed by 4 checkboxes. So it is a reasonable sample to look at.

github.com/Taapeli/isotammi-addons

source/SuperTool/supertool.glade

              <property name="can_focus">True</property>
              <property name="tooltip_text" translatable="yes">Comma separated Python expressions to be displayed in the table below</property>
            </object>
            <packing>
              <property name="expand">False</property>
              <property name="fill">True</property>
              <property name="position">9</property>
            </packing>
          </child>
          <child>
            <object class="GtkBox">
              <property name="visible">True</property>
              <property name="can_focus">False</property>
              <child>
                <object class="GtkRadioButton" id="all_objects">
                  <property name="label">All objects</property>
                  <property name="visible">True</property>
                  <property name="can_focus">True</property>
                  <property name="receives_default">False</property>
                  <property name="tooltip_text" translatable="yes">Perform the operations for all objects</property>
                  <property name="draw_indicator">True</property>

The HTree add has an example of adding Radio Buttons to a context submenu without having used Glade:

github.com/gramps-project/addons-source

HtreePedigreeView/HtreePedigreeView.py

          entry = Gtk.RadioMenuItem(label=_("Top <-> Bottom"))
          entry.connect("activate", self.cb_change_scroll_direction, False)
          if self.scroll_direction == False:
              entry.set_active(True)
          entry.show()
          scroll_direction_menu.append(entry)
          
          entry = Gtk.RadioMenuItem(label=_("Left <-> Right"))
          entry.connect("activate", self.cb_change_scroll_direction, True)
          if self.scroll_direction == True:
              entry.set_active(True)
          entry.show()
          scroll_direction_menu.append(entry)
