Re: Newbie: How to access a window's widgets?

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 Glade generates a function int the file support.c with the signature
 GtkWidget* lookup_widget(GtkWidget* parent, const char* name);

 You pass the "parent" widget -- this is most likely your main window, and the
name of the widget you want a pointer to (The name can be set on glade -
otherwise glades automatically names them with names such as button1, gtkcombo2
and so on.) The return value is the widget you want.

 It helps to keep a static variable to the parent widget on the file you want
to access the other widgets.

Hope this helps.
