You may try the following untested code:


typedef struct _MyData MyData;

struct _MyData {
        char *text;
};

void my_callback(GtkWidget *wid, gpointer data)
{
        MyData *mydata = (MyData *)data;

        g_print("data: %s\n", mydata->text);
}

void some_function()
{
        MyData *mydata;
        GtkWidget *button;

        button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Foo");
        gtk_widget_show(button);

        mydata = g_new0(MyData);
        mydata->text = g_strdup("Bar");

        g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(button), "clicked",
                         (GCallback) my_callback, mydata);
}
