Hi Claudio,<br><br>Thanks for the response.<br><br>The reason I'm creating the dialog by hand is because I want complete control over it's look and feel. In addition, hildon.PickerButton.set-image() is not working here so i thought it's probably best to use plain old GTK.<br>
<br>Concerning the rest of the problems, I'm going to chalk it up to a bug in the bindings because I seem to be doing everything properly. All of the (working) examples I could found online are using Windows to hold the Selector and not Dialogs, so maybe this is the source of the issue.<br>
<br>I'm going to work more today creating a Selector with pixbufs and hope that the scrolling problem will get resolved at some point (I'll file a bug).<br><br>Of course, a resonse from one of the Python Devs is always welcome ;)<br>
<br><br>P.S. I'm not doing this in C because i don't know how to program in C, only Python.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Claudio Saavedra <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:csaavedra@igalia.com">csaavedra@igalia.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>For this use case, I'd recommend you using directly a HildonPickerButton<br>
instead of creating a button, a dialog, and all the logic by hand. Check<br>
the docs for HildonPickerbutton.<br>

</div></div>I am not familiar with the python bindings, so I have not much to say<br>
about these errors other than it seems that the registration of some of<br>
the types fail, which is strange..<br>

</div>HildonTouchSelector uses HildonTouchSelectorColumn for each of its<br>
columns. Since you want one single column, you need to create one and<br>
use the GtkCellLayout interface in the same way you would do for<br>
GtkTreeViewColumn.<br>

</div>Maybe the python bindings are not fully working? Did you try with C<br>
instead?<br>
