Need help in running a simple 3 button UI using Glade

file still not applied.

Thank you so much cmorley.

As you said i should first develop as side panel till I get a complete hold.

I checked again, i can see the file as part of my 1st question. Attached is screenshot of how i m able to see.. it's attached 2 times 

Yes I see it now. Looks like the library for python3 sourceview is missing.
I couldn't find the package name to look for. i hope it's available for the PI.

Maybe someone else can advise you or search the forum for advice with getting gladevcp running on the pi.

could you run loadusr qtvcp sim_panel and see if that works?
If it does then we could use qtvcp instead.

Thanks Chris, i will check and get back.

I could get the gladevcp working by installing following
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0

Now exploring since sometime to achieve what I need by adding panel in axis and running command.. Looks like quite much study needed.. Will get back if need more help..

I believe I can use GScreen for what I need. I am able to invoke the screen with 3 buttons only. Able to invoke Action related functions. But buttons are not getting enabled.In Axis, touchy, it was taking postgui file with top level container set as 1. However in Gscreen its not accepting any portgui file. I am wondering what am I missing. How should I enable the button.Attached are the files that I am using.

Whole day I was trying to solve this issue... Just after making this post.. I thought to use GtkButton instead of HAL Button and it worked.

Now I am wondering whats the difference here.. When should I use HAL Button and when GTK button

hal_button creates a HAL pin that reflects the state of the button, otherwise it's the same as GTK button.

The enable problem is because you used a HAL_table to place the buttons in. HAL_tab has a pin to control 'sensitivity' - set the pin true and the buttons are enabled.

You don't have to use special linuxcnc/HAL widgets, if you don't need their special abilities.

Thank you very much Chris for explanation. Its clear to me now.
