Radio button indicators not showing up

Question

I am new to GUI development and have recently started developing a simple app on Ubuntu by designing the UI with glade and writing the code in python using PyGObject. I have done decently so far until I ran into a mysterious issue.

The indicators of radio buttons on a child window are not showing up. I have been able to toggle them and retrieve which button is active but the indicators themselves do not show up. I have compared the Properties of these buttons with two other radio buttons that I have put up on the main window (look and work as expected) but do not see any difference.

Could someone suggest a way to fix this? I am not sure what all information is required but here are a few images for starters.

Edit: Code which brings up the generate logs window

def on_generate_logs_activate(self, widget):

    #Setup generate logs window
    self.builder.add_from_file("myprogram6.glade")
    self.generate_logs_window = self.builder.get_object("generate_logs_window")
    self.generate_logs_window.show_all()
    self.all_records = self.builder.get_object("all_records") #Radio1
    self.specific_record = self.builder.get_object("specific_record") #Radio2
    self.dialog_record_combo = self.builder.get_object("dialog_record_combo")
    self.generate = self.builder.get_object("generate")
    self.dialog_close = self.builder.get_object("dialog_close")
    self.record_set1 = self.builder.get_object("liststore1")
    self.dialog_record_combo.set_sensitive(False)

    #Setup combotext
    self.dialog_record_combo.set_entry_text_column(1)
    records = self.get_unprocessed_records()
    for record in records:
        record=record.split('.')
        self.record_set1.append([record[0]])

    #Radios
    self.all_records.connect("toggled", self.on_all_records_toggled)
    self.specific_record.connect("toggled", self.on_specific_record_toggled)

    #Generate button
    self.generate.connect("clicked", self.on_generate_clicked)

    #Close button
    self.dialog_close.connect("clicked", self.on_dialog_close_clicked)

Please let me know if you would like me to add more information.

Answer 1

I'm guessing you didn't call window.show_all(). Again, I'm guessing because you didn't post your code, so it's impossible to know.

Answer 2

Look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxqZ_2fz-ZI My speculation: you did not structure correctly your application. Look at video 4 and 5 and you will understand how to structure. a) python file creation with import at the top. so call it application.py and include

import gi
#
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk, Gdk as gdk, GLib, GObject as gobject

gobject.threads_init()
import string  # not used for now
import os  # not used for now
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import time
import threading..

b) class GUI (called "foo" in the video) hereunder called GUIclass c) several def linked to the glade file within that class d) init with import of the glade file e) main

see few extracts below. look at few applications done with glade / pygtk on github.

class GUIclass:
