RE: Re: Share widgets between windows

Hello Manu,

access to the statusbar of my main window from my
modal >window.
> Is it possible ? Without global variable ?
 
You can attach pointers to other widgets to any gtk
object by using the function

        void gtk_object_set_data(GtkObject object, gchar
*name,  gpointer data)

and get the pointer back by using the function

        gpointer gtk_object_get_data( GtkObject obj, gchar
*name);

So you can attach the reference to the status bar with
the modal window using this API and can retrieve it
when required in the code.

When we create templates with Glade it uses the same
technique to identify the widgets in the lookup_widget
function that it writes in the support.c file.

Hope this helps
