Re: [gtk-list] Widget inheritance question

["Jason A. Pfeil" <pfeil nu cs fsu edu>]

During the implementation of your widget's new function, you create an
instance of your parent widget and pass it any parameters it would need.
That is where you essentially call the constructor for the parent class.
You can follow the implementation of the GtkToggleButton class in
gtktogglebutton.c for examples on inheritance.  That's what I did, and it
was massively helpful.  :)
