[Glade-users] question about loading xml file

[alef xs4all nl (Alef T Veld)]

Hi

I'm loading a xml file with glade_xml_new as

xml=glade_xml_new("file.glade","app1");

and then set up widget pointers

app1ptr=glade_xml_get_widget(xml,"app1");

works fine.

However, i have more widgets i need. Do i really have to call glade_xml_new() with a different widget
and load them into different GladeXML objects? I was hoping to just do 
glade_xml_get_widget(xml,"different_widget");

alas, that doesn't work. This just feels stupid. There must be another way. 
The other question is, how can i check to see if a widget is loaded (i don't want to load the same widget 
twice if a 
user presses load twice).

thank you so much
