MultiWindow error Glade, Gtk and Python

Question

I am making an interface where you have to be logged to enter. So at sign in window I put a button to open a modal window (about dialog). It works fine, but just once, I mean: this window can be opened and closed, but if you try again, it fails. I can not realize why and I am quite begginer. The Glade code is:

And my python code is:

#!/usr/bin/python

from gi.repository import Gtk

class Handler(Gtk.Window):
    def onDeleteWindow(self, *args):
        self.destroy()
        Gtk.main_quit(*args)


    def onAboutPressed(self, button):
        about = builder.get_object("aboutwin")
        about.run()
        about.destroy()

builder = Gtk.Builder()
builder.add_from_file("v0.glade")
builder.connect_signals(Handler())

main = builder.get_object("signinwin")
main.show_all()

Gtk.main()

If this solved your problem you could accept the answer or comment on the answer if it didn't work. — tobias47n9e

I can't tell you what exactly what the error is, but it might be that you assigned the wrong signals in Glade. I switched the close event from GtkDialog --> close to GtkDialog --> response. It probably is also better to only get the AboutDialog when you need it, so I put it into its own class. I am also a beginner, but the code should work now:

#!/usr/bin/python

from gi.repository import Gtk

class AboutDialog:
    def __init__(self):
        self.builder = Gtk.Builder()
        self.builder.add_objects_from_file("v0.glade", ("aboutwin", ""))
        self.ab = self.builder.get_object("aboutwin")
        self.builder.connect_signals(self)

    def on_aboutdialog_response(self, widget, signal):
        print("About close with button or (x)")
        self.ab.hide()

    def run(self):
        self.ab.run()

class MainHandler(Gtk.Window):
    def on_delete_window(self, widget, signal):
        print("Main window closed")
        Gtk.main_quit()

    def on_about_pressed(self, button):
        print("Run About Dialog")
        about = AboutDialog()
        about.run()

def main():
    builder = Gtk.Builder()
    builder.add_objects_from_file("v0.glade", ("signinwin", "") )
    builder.connect_signals(MainHandler())

    main = builder.get_object("signinwin")
    main.show_all()

    Gtk.main()

if __name__ == "__main__":
      main()
