GTK+ Forums

Hi,

I am trying to save the text from a button when it is clicked.

I attach the event like this..

g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(button),"clicked",G_CALLBACK (FlagClicked), window);

void FlagClicked(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
SaveToPreferences("Setup","Language",gtk_button_get_label(GTK_BUTTON(widget)));
}

To check the text I added the line..
g_printf("Button text %s\r\n",gtk_button_get_label(GTK_BUTTON(widget)));

This prints "Button text (null)"

I would appreciate some pointers on where Iam going wrong ? Why can't I access the button text.

Did you set button's label with gtk_button_set_label () ?

Thanks that prompted me.

I had a routine that put a label and image inside the button. Looking at the button label was a waste of time.
