g_object_get_data Programmer error

[Steve Harrington-3]

I am trying to use g_object_get_data() to retrieve the GtkWidget * of an
object.  Seems simple enough but The attached code doesn't work.  I must
have missed something simple but darned if I can see it.  All help
appreciated.

Indeed - g_object_get_data retrieves data explicitly set on an object
with g_object_set_data. No call to the latter in your code ...

Use something like the following snippet to make it work:

> Main = GTK_WIDGET( gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "Main") );

g_object_set_data( G_OBJECT(Main),
                   "Button",
                   gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "Button") );

> gtk_builder_connect_signals( builder, NULL );
> g_object_unref( G_OBJECT(builder) );
> gtk_widget_show_all( Main );
> gtk_main( );


Another annotation just in case:

> GtkWidget      *W;

                      "Found \"Button\" widget%s",
                      W == widget ? ", which is passed as callback
parameter"
                                  : "");

>    gtk_dialog_run( GTK_DIALOG(dialog) );
>    gtk_widget_destroy( dialog );
>  }

So in case of the example, g_object_get_data is not necessary, as the
button widget is directly available to the callback handler.

Hope the above snippets are helpful.

Happy hacking,
Florian
