Hello: I am having a problem printing out the data I pass to my callback function. I am using the g_signal_connect. The callback function is getting called, but the data is messed up/empty. This is what I am doing: 1. The struct holding the data: typedef struct my_data { char bin[1000]; char doc[1000]; } MY_DATA; 2. Setup the callback: MY_DATA mydata; strcpy(mydata.bin,"TESTING"); printf("Data is <%s> before callback activated\n",mydata.bin); printf("Data is at %p before callback activated\n",mydata); g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT (tableCells[r][6]), "button_press_event", G_CALLBACK (selectActionBin), (gpointer) &mydata); 3. The callback function void selectActionBin(MY_DATA *data) { printf("In CB, data = <%s>\n",data->bin); printf("In CB, data is at %p\n", data); printf("In CB, data is at %p\n", &data); gtk_widget_show (selectDialog_window); <--- This shows up as expected. } 4.Result. ./testIt ---- The following prints out from #2 above Data is <TESTING> before callback activated Data is at 0x504f4f50 before callback activated ---- The following prints out from #3 above In CB, data = <> <---- I want to see my data here :{ In CB, data is at 0x80b2a30 In CB, data is at 0xbfffeb40 Any help would be apprecited.
