Re: Creating widgets with auto-repeat

["David J. Singer" <doc deadvirgins org uk>]

Thanks to Pauk for the pointers on how to make my autorepeat
code a bit more elegant, but having looked at the suggestions
I'm a bit puzzled...

    info->value++;
    info->count = 0;
    info->state = 0;
    info->timer_id = gtk_timeout_add(REPEAT_STAGE0_DELAY, 
                                      (GtkFunction)timer_func, info);

The "gtk_timeout_add" line doesn't work, becasue you're *passing*
the value of info->timer *before* it gets assigned.  Hence the timeout
function doesn't know the ID of the timer....

This was why I resorted to globals! :-)
