Hi everyone,
this is my first post here, you'll understand it early. I am a damned newbie :(
My help request is really simple.

I have to get the entry value in a dialog(MODAL) linked to a menu item.
A button, used to send the value, is also added into the dialog.

Ok let's go. I'd like to use this value to set (or upgrade) a label text present in the main window.

My solutions is not a solution.

Code: (Plaintext)

static gchar set_name (GtkWidget *, GtkEntry *);

/* We are in the dialog creation function */
....
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT(button), "clicked",
G_CALLBACK(set_name), (gpointer) name_entry);

....

static gchar set_name (GtkWidget * widget,
GtkEntry *entry)
{
const gchar * name = NULL;
name = gtk_entry_get_text (GTK_ENTRY(entry));

if(!name)
g_print("Error!\n");
else {
.... ?? ... how i can manage the label in main window?
}

return name;
}

/* Main window
label = gtk_label_new();
...

My idea of this seems strange, please give me some advice.
Any advice is great thing.

thanks in advance to everyone for the replies.
Bye
