clist woes

[Ed Schreder <eds kendeco com>]

Oops:)

Ok this is my problem, I am writing a program which allows a user to 
browse a database, the user can either type in an item number or a 
description, if the user only types in a partial item # or description 
they get a list of items which are close the the item typed.  I am using 
a clist widget to display the list, my problem is that I can't seem to 
get the info from the selected row. What I am trying to do is copy the 
data to a structure which then sends the records data to a generic 
display widget I created.  I am using the clists gtk_clist_get_text() 
procedure but I keep getting seg faults when I try to either do a strcpy 
or an sprintf to the structures field, like this

gtk_clist_get_text(GTK_CLIST(listwidget), row, column, &text);
sprintf(myStruct->field, "%s", text);  <-- Crashes here

I put this code in a signal for the clist "select row" event and return 
the structure which then gets used by an ok button.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I get the segfaults when I try to 
copy the text into my string?  Am I blind and just not seeing the reference 
here? 

Thanks
