Re: widget reuse question

[Henri Torgemane <henrit yahoo-inc com>]

Hi,

Sure you could keep adding and removing widgets to your container, but
your code would be messy and it probably wouldn't look good to the user.

Instead, you can use a GtkNotebook to do that very kind of stuff.
Put each of your step in a different page, hide the tabs and borders and
plug your Next and Back buttons to gtk_notebook_next_page and
gtk_notebook_prev_page.


Hope it helps,
Henri
