Deriving a new widget from GtkText

[Lyndon Drake <lyndon stat auckland ac nz>]

Hi,

I want to write a widget that is very similar to GtkText.  Presumably the best way to do this is to derive it from GtkText.  My main question is, is it possible to override some of GtkText's methods, while letting GtkText handle the functions that don't interest me?

Sorry if this is really obvious, but I'm more used to OO C++/Java than OO C.

Thanks,
Lyndon
