[Glade-users] referencing notebook object

[wdewey@comcast.net]

Running:  Glade 2.0.1  glademm 2.2.8-2  gtk 2.2.4-1

I am having a problem referencing a notebook (or any widget for that matter) from the window.cc file.  I want to be able to change what notebook page I am on using menu items.  I see them created in the constructor of the window_glade.cc file, but when I try to use reference them using window::notebook or window_glade::notebook I get "item does not exist" or "item is not a child of" errors.  I have modified the window_glade.hh file and added these items to the public portion of the class and this seems to work, but I don't know if this is the proper way to do it since the _glade files will be overwritten any time the   code is generated.
