[Glade-users] ? on lookup widget(...)

[jbrite]

I don't know how to use this 100%, but this is what I do to get it to 
work.  Maybe someone else could chime in to get a complete understanding.

Lets say your in a button clicked fuction. and you wanted to lookup a 
widget that was on the same window as the button.  Let let a label named 
"label99".

void
button_clicked            (GtkButton    *button,
                                    gpointer        user_data)
{
GtkWidget * example = lookup_widget (GTK_WIDGET(button), "label99");
...

know you can use 'example' to refere to the label99.  I useally use the 
same name so I don't confuse myself.

I don't know how to refere to other widdgets outside the window though. 
 I sure it can be done, but...


good luck,

-Jeff
