Re: getting text from an entry box



you need to g_strdup() what you get before inserting it in the glist - dont
forget to g_free() it later when you dont need it anymore ... so

    config_data = g_list_append (config_data,
  g_strdup(gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry1))));

is what you should be doing.

I have a gtk text entry box that I would like to use to get information
 from a user in a gnome druid app. I am using the following:
 
   config_data = g_list_append (config_data,
 gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry1)));
 
 to get the data from the entry box 'entry1' and put it into the GList
 config_data. config_data also contains data from several combo boxes, but
 when I print the contents of the list, no matter what order I inserted the
 data from entry1, there is always a blank line in the place of data that
 was entered. I'm pretty new to gtk/gnome programming so the problem may be
 obvious but I'm at a loss here. Any ideas or suggestions??
