Title: MFC's UpdateData() equivalent ?

Hi,
I'm translating GUI written using Windows MFCs to use GTKMM instead.
Is there a method equivalent to UpdataData() of MFC's Container class?
Basically this method can be used to copy displayed data into the associate widget-variable and vise-versa. When a method in the container class, it should be able to update variables of all its children.

In the same context, are there variables associated with widgets ? i.e. if its a Gtk::Entry , is there an associated variable, that holds associated data ?
