Re: Checking for the type of a CellRenderer

Hi Murray,

 

Thanks, that works. I thought that maybe you could get something like a G_TYPE, but this is also fine..

 

cheers,

You can use dynamic_cast<> for this, with if/else blocks. It's not

examples of this in Glom's source code (though that's not always the
cleanest example code).
