G_PARAM_SPEC_VALUE_TYPE() question

[Marc Balmer <marc msys ch>]

Hi

I want to set properties of an object using the g_value_set_<type>()
functions and to cast my value (which I get from a Lua script, which
e.g. does not differentiate between integers and floats) I need to know
the type of the property.

Ideally something like the following:

switch (G_PARAM_SPEC_VALUE_TYPE(prop)) {
case G_TYPE_INT:
        g_value_set_int(...);
        break;
case G_TYPE_STRING:
        g_value_set_string(...);
        break;
}

You get the idea...  This works for basic types, but not for e.g.
GParamEnum, i.e. when G_PARAM_SPEC_TYPE_NAME() returns "GParamEnum",
above scheme seems not to work.  There is a type G_TYPE_ENUM, but it is
not returned in case of "GParamEnum".

(In my example I want to set the 'tab-pos' property of a Notebook widget).

Any hints how I can discriminate on the type of an enum?
