Re: [gtkmm] User Data

[Leandro Fanzone <leandro hasar com>]

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear about what I intended to do. I have a set of
widgets, and I used the user data to associate extra info to those
widgets, not only to the list. I was previously using get/set_user_data
from Gtk::Object, but now I see it's commented out. Though I could use
the gtk+ method instead, I just wanted to know why gtkmm did not
implement it, just in case there's something I must be aware of (like a
new way of handling user data).
And regarding the name (gtkmm), I guess I'm still old fashioned. I'm
writing again in gtkmm since a year or more of not touching code, as
you can see I am a bit outdated...
