Re: Question Re: WorkbookControlGUI object.

[Donald Permezel <djper1 student monash edu>]

Thanks for the help, fellows.

Jon:
Where is gtk.MessageDialog defined?  I am writing in 'analysis-tools.c', I tried '#include 
<gtk/gtkmessagedialog.h>', aswell as <gui-util.h>, but still make claims gtk, messagedialog and such are 
undeclared.


Nakai:
I tried - 
        Workbook *wb = val->v_range.cell.a.sheet->workbook;
        WorkbookView *wbv = g_ptr_array_index (wb->wb_views, 0);
        WorkbookControlGUI *wbcg = (WorkbookControlGUI) g_ptr_array_index (wbv->wb_controls, 0);

to get the WorkbookGUI object, but I get make claiming I am 'dereferencing pointer to incomplete type', and 
'conversion to non-scalar type requested' for the two lines respectivly.


Am I doing something stupid?


Thanks again,
