Since GTK is object oriented, you could just create a new class that inherits from GtkCalender. However this is C we're using, so it's not quite as simple as in C++, Java, or Python. If I recall correctly, you'll end up with 3 files. 2 .C files and 1 .H One C file will contain the klass and vtable initialization stuff, one .C file of your implementation, and one .H file with your public interfaces, cast macros, and so forth. At one time GTK people were using a tool called "gob" to compile a single file of some object-oriented C-like syntax into these files. Seems to me, though, that you'd be well-served in doing this in Vala. Vala itself defines a C-like (more C#-like) language that compiles into C and GObject code. You can take the output of Vala and use it in your normal C development. In fact the job you describe is just what Vala was originally designed for, though Vala has gone far beyond just being a GObject compiler.
