Hi,

Give us your code next time, it would be easier for all of us.
I assume that you have defined a callback for your button,
for signal pressed/released or similair. What do you do in that
function? To get an entry contents there is a function like
gtk_entry_get_text. Check details at www.gtk.org/api .
It takes as the first parameter widget handle. You can obtain it
by lookup_widget function, giving it another handle of a widget
in the same window. Do you get that handle as non-null value?
Another way to get the handle is to define it as 'user_data'.
If you put the widgets name in apropriate field at callbacks
section, you get it in a callback (as a gpointer).
