Hi Widgets have some properties of type gchar*. For example GtkLabel has the "label" property. What happens when I use g_object_set(lable_widget, "label", some_gchar_ptr, NULL);? Does the class just assign 'some_gchar_ptr' to the 'label' member or does it allocate memory and copy the content pointed to by 'some_gchar_ptr'?
GtkWidget has the 'name' property (of type gchar*) which default value is NULL. May I use this property to give a name to widgets arbitrarily? Is this property used internally by GTK, is it safe to use it? And what happens with g_object_set(widget, "name", ... ? Is this just a copy of the pointer? Is there anywhere a policy for this kind of assignments? regards Pablo _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
