yes I can see that ..

the root widget I think so will be dialog/form what
ever u say..... and this routine can find any widget
on the form......but when we have an application with
lets say 3 dialogs/forms then this routine is capeable
to find any widget on any dialog/form or it just finds
the widgets on one dialog ??  Please give me a brief
over using 2/3 dialog/forms

in OOP we use method and properties so is there a way
to access the properties or since we are working in c
language so we just have plain functions.


where should I define global varaibles to store the
pointers to point the widget so that I dont have to
call the above routine again and again ??? is it a
good idea to store the pointers like this ???

Thanks for the link....

Finally I would like if you or someone else just make
a small program in glade for me and email me

1) put an input box
2) put a button

when button is clicked
the inputbox should show
hello world

Thanks once again.
