Hallo, my problem is the following class that use a method of its own named "Fenster::change()" A simple operation for testing When I create a "Fenster" instance by clicking the button in the main window into the gtk::main loop the instance of Fenster occures but the Fenster::change method doesnt work When I create the instance of Fenster like $MyFenster = &new Fenster(); into the main loop (see end of script) the Fenster::change() method works fine ! I would so happy if someone can give me a hint what's going wrong in this example below: <?php .... class Fenster { var $window; var $field; var $button; function Fenster() { $this->window = new GtkWindow(); $this->field = new GtkEntry(); $this->button = new GtkButton("OK"); $this->window->set_usize(300,200); $this->field->set_text("Hallo World"); //only formating $vbox = &new GtkVBox(); $vbox_button = &new GtkHBox(); $vbox_button->set_border_width(60); $vbox->set_border_width(15); $hbox = &new GtkHBox(); $hbox->pack_start($this->field); $vbox_button->pack_end($this->button); $vbox->pack_start($hbox); $vbox->pack_start($vbox_button); $this->window->add($vbox); //call back for the clicked signal, just a method of Fenster class $this->button->connect_object("clicked", array(&$this,"change")); $this->window->show_all(); } function change() { $this->field->set_text("hallo again..."); } } //main window //main window with a button to create an instance of Fenster //this way is makes problems $window_main = &new GtkWindow(); $window_main->connect_object("destroy", array("gtk", "main_quit") ); $window_main->set_usize(300, 300); $window_main->set_position(GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER); $table = &new GtkTable(2, 2, false); $window_main->add($table); $button1 = &new GtkButton(' New Window '); //call constructor of Fenster $button1->connect_object('clicked', array('Fenster', 'Fenster')); $table->attach($button1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 10, 10); $window_main->show_all(); //alternatve .. //$MyFenster = &new Fenster(); //this way is ok gtk::main(); ?> Why does this script works only in one way ???
