Gtk Question

["Achint Sandhu" <sandhu nortel ca>]

Hi,

        I am starting to use Gtk and seem to be running into a small
problem.
Other than the problem mentioned below, everything else I have tried
seems to work fine. 

        Included is the code for a small "Hello World" type program. I
am
trying to pass data to the "callback" for the "delete_event" handler for
a window and can't seem to get it to work. I have tried this with Gtk
1.0.3 on Solaris. I realise I am probably missing something obvious. Any
help you could provide would be greatly appreciated...

        Anyway here is the code...

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

gint windowSignalHandlerStub(GtkWidget *w, gpointer data) {

  char *junk = (char *) data;

  printf("Received the following data: %s\n", junk);
  return TRUE;
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  GtkWidget *window;

  char *aCommand;
  aCommand = strdup("Foo");

  gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
          
  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_widget_show(window);
          
  gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(window), "delete_event",
                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(windowSignalHandlerStub), 
                     (gpointer) aCommand);

  gtk_main ();
  
  return 0;
}

        Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
Achint

PS: Passing data to the callbacks for the widgets works just fine....
