Re: newbie question

Hi Frederico,

(Copied from my own post from Mar 23, 2006 12:31:00 pm)

Here are four additional possibilities:

1. Use global variables for your widgets.

2. Create a struct containing pointers to all your widgets and use the
userdata field to pass this struct around in all callbacks.

3. Use the g_object_set_data() method to attach miscellaneous pointers to
your widgets. I.e. in the widget construction do:

GtkWidget *w_tree_view, *w_button; w_tree_view = gtk_tree_view_new(...); :
w_button = gtk_button_new(); g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(w_button),
"tree_view", w_tree_view); g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(w_button), "clicked",
G_CALLBACK(cb_button_clicked), NULL);

and in the callback cb_button_clicked() do:

GtkWidget *w_tree_view = GTK_WIDGET(g_object_get_data(G_OBJECT(widget),
"tree_view"));

This method is similar to what glade is doing.

4. Create your own container widget, e.g. by gob2 or vala and put all your
widgets in it. This is a fancy way of doing the struct callback I mentioned
above.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dov
