[Glade-users] Text entries & re-using msg boxes

[harringf yahoo com (Harring Figueiredo)]

 yo might want to use a GtkDialog ( or a Modal window.) Using GtkDialog, you
can call gtk_dialog_run() (?) a and present the user with th interface you want
inside the dialog.

  Then you wait for the callback on the button of the dialog and on the
callback you capture the entries.

  Take a look at GtkDialog docs.

  Hope this helps.
