lookup_widget() menuitem

I'm using lookup_widget() in a callback for a menuitem.

Code:

   void
on_preferences_activate                (GtkWidget     *menuitem,
                                        gpointer         user_data)
{
  txt_server = lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(menuitem), "txt_server");
  GtkWidget* combo = lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(menuitem), "cmb_prefix");
  gtk_entry_set_text(txt_server, server);
  gtk_entry_set_text (GTK_ENTRY (GTK_COMBO (combo)->entry), server_type);
     
  gtk_widget_show (prefsDialog);
}

I've seen lookup_widget used in other programs and they work fine, but when I run my program lookup_widget() prints

Code:

** (patcher:6391): WARNING **: Widget not found: txt_server

** (patcher:6391): WARNING **: Widget not found: cmb_prefix

I've checked the names of the widgets, they are valid in callbacks for buttons, but it doesn't work with menuitems.

I'm not sure how lookup_widget() works, as I don't use glade to generate the code but use libglade or pure GTK+ myself.

Are you saying that exact same callback works fine with GtkButton's but not with the menu items?

lookup_widget() works fine with any widget. I am suse in that.
This is not possible to work with some widgets and do not work with others.....
I think you just wrong the parent widget.

Yes.

If you use wrong parent widget and think there is child widget called "xyz" you will get this error message...
Just post here your code ... especially the code where you call the lookup_widget.
Give me the content of the parent widget too.
I will show you right widget searching..
