Going by your previous post are you are still using GTK+ 2.24?

You will need to create your tool bar as normal see documentation at http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkToolbar.html

You will then need to create your individual buttons by creating a GtkToolButton, see documentation at http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkToolButton.html that way you can set the label and icon.

Code:

...
    GtkWidget *toolbar = gtk_toolbar_new();
    GtkWidget *tb1 = gtk_tool_button_new(GTK_WIDGET(icon), "Text");

    gtk_toolbar_insert(GTK_TOOLBAR(toolbar), tb1, 0);
...

thanks,yes im still on 2.24,do you suggest upgrading to 3?

It depends on your circumstances. If you need to stay portable to Microsoft Windows, then it would be best to stay with 2.24 for now as version 3.xx has not been ported yet.

If you can upgrade, you may need to upgrade your distribution of Linux if you are using that. Version 3 has a number of new features which are nice and many of the deprecated features in version 2.24 have now been removed. There have been some reported problems, largely to do with speed and the use of cairo has slowed down some of the redraws.
