getting bitmap from widget

[Carlos Pantelides <carlos_pantelides yahoo com>]

Hello:

Is any way to obtain a bitmap from a widget not yet
displayed, out of the loop?

Another way to ask:

Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
AnyWidget w = new AnyWidget();
//Gtk::Main::run(w);
buffer = w.getBitmap(); ??


Thanks
