Re: Creating custom GTK+ widget using C++ -- Ctor/Dtor not called

[Igor Chetverovod <chetverovod gmail com>]

Paul,
GTK+ widget  is not a c++ class, it  is a C structure.   If  you want
to create custom widget, you should define it structure for it and
some mandatory functions. Read manuals about this, for example:
http://zetcode.com/tutorials/cairographicstutorial/customgtkwidget/

If you need just to add several data field into the widget you can use
functions  g_object_set_data, g_object_get_data.

Best regards,
Igor
