Is there a better way? [code sample incl.]

[Eric Harlow <linuxgeek yahoo com>]

I wanted to write a piece of code that would display all the items in
a listbox that were "selected" by calling this DisplaySelectedItems
function.  Turns out to require a few steps - The DisplaySelectedItems
has to call the "foreach" function for the children to get each of
them to print.  At this point, although I have the GtkListItem widget,
I cannot use this directly to figure out what the text is, but instead
have to make another "foreach" call looking for a label in there and
returning it.  Listbox->children->children->text

Is there a "better" way of doing this?

void DisplaySelectedItems (GtkWidget *widget)
{
    // --- Check all children
    gtk_container_foreach (GTK_CONTAINER (widget),
                           (GtkCallback) ShowSelected,
                           NULL);
}

void ShowSelected (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    printf ("state = %d, label = %s\n", (int) GTK_WIDGET_STATE (widget),
            GetItemLabel (widget));
}

char *GetItemLabel (GtkWidget *widget)
{
    GtkWidget *label = NULL;
    char *str;

    gtk_container_foreach (GTK_CONTAINER (widget),
                           (GtkCallback) FindLabel,
                           &label);
    gtk_label_get (GTK_LABEL (label), &str);
    return (str);
}

void FindLabel (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    GtkWidget **label;

    if (GTK_IS_LABEL (widget)) {
        label = (GtkWidget **) data;
        *label = widget;
    }
}
