Re: GTK Progress bar: assistance pls.

IN REPLY TO DANS COMMENTS:

1. I am using the g++ compiler and g++ doesnt let a gpointer[return type
of g_malloc0()] or a void pointer point a gchar or a ProgressData pointer.
That is why the typecast.

2. I need more explanation here:

 txt_start_count = (gchar

Why do you think memory is leaked ? I have already done a lookup_widget on
wdgt_start_count. gtk_entry_get_text() returns a const gchar * value while
mine is a gchar *, and that is why the typecast.
