Title in Main Window with GtkAda

Title in Main Window with GtkAda

[ldries46]

I just want to change the Title in the main window of a Gtk ADA application 
at the moment of some action, like adding a File name as is done in Fi Word. 
Is that possible. IF so how can do I do it?

Call Set_Title in Gtk.Window, should do the trick.

That works for me too (MS Windows XP and 7). But the GtkAda RM says:
"Change the title of the window, as it appears in the title bar. Note
that on some systems you might not be able to change it. "

So it isn't guaranteed to work.

The problem seems to be the following:

Glade-2 creates a windows variable of the type name_Access which is itself 
a create by
type name_Access is access all name_Record'Class;
In the initiate routine Glade uses Set_Title with this type but when use 
Set_Title somewhere else it seems that Set_Title cannot use this type.
It seems to me that I need a type name_Record. I just cannot find a way to 
get a variable of that type from the type name_Access.

For the record my OS is Windows 7 64 bit

The variable passed to Set_Title must be a Gtk.Window.Gtk_Window,
which is declared as
   type Gtk_Window is access all Gtk_Window_Record'Class;

I've never used Glade, so I can't help with that.  You will only be
able to call Set_Title for this window where the window variable is
visible.

Cheers,

Finally did it.
Only by creating a new procedure in the package that initiated the main 
window and calling that from the package where the change was to be 
initiated. I do think the less nice way, but it worked.
