The example will not work straight up I'm afraid. You first have to
find what files to include in your program, and next you need to read
all the documentation associated with it.  I attempted to make a gadget
myself, it's not nearly as easy as they indicate it is.  In fact it
took me a week to find all the information in the documentation.  The
documentation althought mostly complete is terse at best.  So I suggest
asking nicely someone for an example widget here. :D
I can't give you mine because it was eaten by a now defunct hard disk.

How typical of the life of a programer :)
