I just imagined a function which send signal like that, I didn ' t know
it really exist :)
Thanks to all.

here s the reply from Harring Figueiredo:
Good imagination.. this is exactly the function you use.
 These function used to be on the gtk_sig* , but where moved down to glib.

void        g_signal_emit                   (gpointer instance,
                                             guint signal_id,
                                             GQuark detail,
                                             ...);
void        g_signal_emit_by_name           (gpointer instance,
                                             const gchar *detailed_signal,
                                             ...);
