Chapter 14. Dynamic User Interface Control with XML

This chapter presents a few quick and simple lessons on how to do dynamic user interface generation with glade.h ; that is, the widgets and windows will be built at runtime, not compiled as part of the application. This allows the application developer to distribute an XML file that describes the user interface and to compile only the signals needed to perform the desired actions.

As a developer, it is inviting to only have to distribute a new XML file to add a button (or other) widget to a form. However, you should note that the code to perform when the button is pushed is still compiled C code. Therefore, you have to plan to modify your *.c files, and distribute the executable.
