Just as some history, I have been using python for about 5 years now and have finally decided to make my first gui app in Glade. I started with something basic, I have a button, a Gtkentry and gtktextview This is what I am trying to accomplish: on button press, take from the text from gtk.entry and have it appended to the gtk.textview now the main problem I have is that I can not find descent documentation for how to use the widgets, and the examples I find on the Internet reference both a builder variation as well as another variation of glade project which I can only assume has been discontinued. I would like to learn how builder fits into the python / glade collaboration. my code so far: import gtk import pygtk def onDeleteWindow(self, *args): Gtk.main_quit(*args) def hello(button): text_buffer.set_text(txtinput.get_text()) builder = gtk.Builder() builder.add_from_file("dagui.glade") handlers = { "onDeleteWindow": gtk.main_quit, "buttondown": hello } builder.connect_signals(handlers) textarea = builder.get_object("textview1") window = builder.get_object("window1") txtinput = builder.get_object("entry1") window.show_all() gtk.main() window.show_all() gtk.main() now this all works and pressing the button will print what ever is in the gtk.entry but I can not find how to append it to the textview. I also am not sure what to search for to find documentation, I tried "gtk builder gtk.textview" and pygtk build gtk.textview append" and all other variations. Though knowing how to simply add the text to the text view would be great, having a link to somewhere where I can get in plain english how to use these widgets I would be forever great-full.
