I have a class that derives from Gtk::VBox, called jme::Contacts; jme::Contacts is in turn used by the jme::MainWin class as one of its attributes, named 'contact'. However, when the object 'contact' is passed to a Gtk::Notebook as one of its tabs:

notebook->append_page(*contacts, "Contacts");

none of the characteristics of the object 'contacts'(Frame and title of the frame) are displayed.

Below is a quick snip of the class in question.
=============
#include <gtkmm/box.h>
#include <gtkmm/frame.h>

namespace jme{

class Contacts : virtual public Gtk::VBox{
private:
void HBox1();
void NameFrame();
protected:

Gtk::HBox* hbox1;
Gtk::Frame* frmName;

public:
Contacts();
virtual ~Contacts();
}; //class
} // namespace
#endif

jme::Contacts::Contacts(){
try{
hbox1 = new Gtk::HBox();
frmName = new Gtk::Frame("Name");
}
catch ( std::bad_alloc & x ) {std::cout << x.what() << std::endl; }

this->NameFrame(); //Add more attributes to the frame

this->HBox1(); // Add objects to this->hbox1
}
void jme::Contacts::NameFrame(){

frmName->add(dynamic_cast<Gtk::Widget&>(*lblFirstName));
}
void jme::Contacts::HBox1(){
hbox1->set_border_width(50);

hbox1->pack_start(*frmName, Gtk::PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET);

hbox1->show_all_children(true);
}
============
Having stated that, after compiling and linking the application using the MinGW-GCC-c++, I get the following message which reads:

Info: resolving Gtk::Stock::APPLY by linking to __imp___ZN3Gtk5Stock5APPLYE (auto-import)
Info: resolving Gtk::Stock::CLOSE by linking to __imp___ZN3Gtk5Stock5CLOSEE (auto-import)
Info: resolving Gtk::Stock::HELP by linking to __imp___ZN3Gtk5Stock4HELPE (auto-import)
===========

Now, I know that ther only part of the program that can cause any of these messages is:
---- snip ---
this->btnApply = new Gtk::Button(Gtk::Stock::APPLY);
this->btnQuit = new Gtk::Button(Gtk::Stock::CLOSE);
this->btnHelp = new Gtk::Button(Gtk::Stock::HELP);
this->notebook = new Gtk::Notebook();
==========

but why would this be causing this err-message?

Please note that I am using WinXP as the developing platform
Thanks for your help folks! you have been very helpful in my GTKmm learning process.
