Mr pvosta! I am also working on GTK+. I have seen your problem, that your widget is not emitting the signal "value_changed", if I understood it correctly. I am also working on it. But I am not using glade. I am doing it by manual coding. I DO GET the signal and I have defined a call back, which is being invoked. But I do not know how to get the value? Can you tell me how to get the value of the scale? thanks shiraz __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
