Can't correctly set data to an object (button)

[philippe vivarelli mindspeed com]

Hi all,


Well I  have toggle button to wich I attached a default string ("DEFAULT")
using the gtk_object_set_user_data function.

In the callback toggle function I reassign this string regarding the state
of the button.

I pick up the new string from a gtk_entry.

The problem is when I get the attached data again, is not set to the rigth
value.


When I toggled the button:
- the printf("attached data 1 = %s\n",attached_data); shows the rigth
value.
- the printf("Active profile name = %s\n",profile_name); shows the rigth
value too.\
- the printf("attached data 2 = %s\n",attached_data); shows an unexpected
value "DEFAULT"

Just like below
attached data 1 = DEFAULT
Active profile name = CUSTOM
attached data 2 = DEFAULT

If on the line where I set the new string (
gtk_object_set_user_data(GTK_OBJECT (button),profile_name);)
I replace profile_name by a static string (i.e "CUSTOM") it works.

Does someone can explain what is wrong in my code ?

Thank you in advance
