That did the trick -- Thanks.
I didn't seem to need get_widget, which is fine with me since I'm new to gtk
and couldn't find docs on the get_widget method. I just named the label
(labelName) and did
labelName.set_text("label #2")
I used set_text rather than set after I got a warning that set was deprecated.
So my mistake was trying to place a new label in the table rather than
replacing the text in the original label.
Thanks again for your help.
