Re: refreshing a drawing area when a spinbutton is used.

["Chris Garrett" <garrett91 hotmail com>]

Thanks Vincent,

But how do I get the pointer to the drawing area?  The signal is being 
emitted by the spin button, and as such the widget I have a pointer to is 
that of the spin button.  Can I use the same pointer I used when creating 
the drawing area?

eg. darea = gtk_drawing_area_new();

If darea is a global variable, will it still point to the drawing area after 
the gtk_main() loop starts?  I cant check this right at the moment since I 
am at work and there is a significant lack of Linux boxes here.  Is there a 
nice function that will return a pointer to an arbitrary widget, or a way to 
travel up to the parent and then down to the drawing area to get its 
pointer?  Am I making this too complicated?

Best regards,

Chris.
