Basics of writing a new widget ...

[Sachin Garg <sachin cdacb ernet in>]

Can someone please help me with this:

I want to write a new widget based on the GtkEntry widget. Which are
the minimum functions to be overridden? Actually, I just wnat to
override the functions which insert text into the widget and those
which draw the widget.

Will I also have to override the functions which initiate the widget
and widget class (I guess i will have to). But what about the realize.
unrealize stuff??

Also, I guess I will ahve to set the parent widget to be the GtkEntry
and not GtkEditable?

Thanks,

sachin
