Re: How to get a text of gtk_text or gtk_entry widget

[Martijn Bos <bos kamp wxs nl>]

Hee all,

Found an answer myself (So if you are interested read on, otherwise read
the next message): 
Sending the Vertical Box (as data for the handler of the clicked event)
in wich the the widgets reside gives the opportunity to get a list of
childs (GList) with the function gtk_container_children. thanx to the
glib.h header it was not so difficult to find out how to navigate this
double linked list. Retrieving the information out of the gtk_entry and
gtk_text then is also easy.

Thanks for reading/listening

Best Regards

Martijn
