Re: Storing a pointer in Gtk::SelectionData

["Milosz Derezynski" <internalerror gmail com>]

Actually this is wrong, it should be sizeof(gpointer*).

(sorry for the resend Johannes)

This:

   gpointer your_pointer;
   Gtk::SelectionData::set ("your-type-name", 8, static_cast<guint8*>(&your_pointer),
   sizeof(your_pointer))

should do it. When getting it you just use:

   gpointer * your_pointer = static_cast<gpointer*>(Gtk::SelectionData::get_data());

Hi!

Probably a silly question, but how can I savely store a pointer to an
object in a Gtk::SelectionData. I guess I have to use

Gtk::SelectionData::set (int format, guint8* data, int length)

somehow but I cannot figure out how to store a pointer there in a
portable and save way. I only want to use the SelectionData within one
application (no cross application drag & drop).

Thanks,
Johannes
