Python Hildon Buttons Driving Me Crazy!

Seems that I have a little problem with python-hildon button layout:

PHP Code:


		
			
import gtk

import hildon



def show_new_window(widget):

  win = hildon.StackableWindow()

  # ... configure new window

  win.show_all()



def main():

  program = hildon.Program.get_instance()



  win = hildon.StackableWindow()

  win.set_title("Main window")



  # ... add some widgets to the window

  button = hildon.Button(gtk.HILDON_SIZE_AUTO_WIDTH | gtk.HILDON_SIZE_FINGER_HEIGHT,

                           hildon.BUTTON_ARRANGEMENT_VERTICAL)

  button.set_text("Some title", "some value")



  image = gtk.image_new_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_INFO, gtk.ICON_SIZE_BUTTON)

  button.set_image(image)

  button.set_image_position(gtk.POS_RIGHT)

  button.connect("clicked", show_new_window)

  win.add(button)

  win.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit, None)



  # This call show the window and also add the window to the stack

  win.show_all()

  gtk.main()



if __name__ == "__main__":

  main()

I researched for a week but just couldn't get it. Why is the button appearing as many buttons? When you click any where on the buttons, all of them flash at once as if they're all one button. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Python Hildon Buttons Driving Me Crazy!

It is just one button. The theme is tiling the background image instead of stretching it across the whole button (could be because of the flag gtk.HILDON_SIZE_FINGER_HEIGHT which tells it the button is only that finger height high).

Re: Python Hildon Buttons Driving Me Crazy!

Put your button into a container, which does not stretch the
child widgets, gtk.VBox for example:

Code:

import gtk

import hildon





def main():

        program = hildon.Program.get_instance()

        win = hildon.StackableWindow()

        win.set_title("test")

        button = hildon.Button(gtk.HILDON_SIZE_AUTO_WIDTH | gtk.HILDON_SIZE_FINGER_HEIGHT, hildon.BUTTON_ARRANGEMENT_VERTICAL)

        button.set_text("some text", "some value")

        box = gtk.VBox(False, 0)

        box.pack_start(button, False, False, 0)

        win.add(box)

        win.show_all()

        gtk.main()



if __name__ == "__main__":

        main()

Uhhh, thanks a lot!
It really made me go nuts! Will try that right now and report.

Works like a treat, thanks!
