[Glade-users] GtkEntry

[Domenico Ferrari]

Hi Ian.
Some hints...

To get the entry object from GtkBuilder
GtkWidget *entry1=GTK_WIDGET(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "entry1"));

set the text
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry1), "some text");

and then get the text
text = gtk_entry_get_text( GTK_ENTRY(entry1));

see the manual at
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkBuilder.html#gtk-builder-get-object

have a nice day,
Dome
