Make your own. You can have empty containers in glade that you fill in at
runtime, or you could create the interface in glade, perhaps a couple of
ComboBoxes. I would leave an empty container and create a reusable widget
descended from gtk.HBox that implements validation or anything else that it
would need to do. Maybe it could default to the current time, for instance.
I know its possible to configure glade to use custom widgets, but I've never
bothered to learn about since it's so easy (and free of caveats that I might
become subject to) to leave empty space for runtime use.
Here's a quick and dirty (and untested!) example:
class TimeEntry(gtk.HBox):
def __init__(self):
gtk.HBox.__init__(self)
self.hr = \
w = gtk.ComboBox()
for i in range(24):
w.append_text('%02d'%(i,))
self.pack_start(w, False, False, 0)
w.show()
w = gtk.Label(':')
self.pack_start(w, False, False, 0)
w.show()
self.min = \
w = gtk.ComboBox()
for i in range(60):
w.append_text('%02d'%(i,))
self.pack_start(w, False, False, 0)
w.show()
def get(self):
return '%02d:%02d' % (self.hr.get_active(),self.min.get_active())
Cheers
