Re: Setting Label and Icon widget of Widget returned by toolbar_add_item

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 Jonathan,

 You will have to keep a pointer to the toolbar child widget (or search for it
in a for loop). In my case, I kept a pointer to the child widget as I added the
widget to the toolbar. 

  See the code below.

 <snip>
 w->cdrom_icon = gtk_image_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_CDROM,
                    gtk_toolbar_get_icon_size (GTK_TOOLBAR (w->toolbar)));
 w->start_tbr_tgle = gtk_toolbar_append_element (GTK_TOOLBAR (w->toolbar),
                    GTK_TOOLBAR_CHILD_TOGGLEBUTTON, NULL, "_Start",
                    "Start/Stop Server", NULL, w->cdrom_icon, NULL, NULL);
     w->toolbarchild_start_tgle = ((GtkToolbarChild*) (g_list_last (GTK_TOOLBAR
(w->toolbar)->children)->data));
    gtk_label_set_use_underline (GTK_LABEL(w->toolbarchild_start_tgle->label),
TRUE);

  </snip>

 Notice how I apply changes to the label using 
 "w->toolbarchild_start_tgle->label"

 The same holds true for icons as well,

Hope this helps
