Re: GtkFileChooser for an Entry

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 There are 2 ways to do what you want:

  1) pass the entry as the data on the callback function.

  2) if the entry cannot be set as the data member (because the entry is not on
the same scope), you can associate an object (in this case the entry widget )
with another widget (the dialog entry); then on the callback, you can access
the entry from the dialog.

 For this, use the function g_object_set_data(..) anb get a pointer to it using
g_object_get_data()

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-get-data

 Hope this helps.

Harring.
