Actually, it is almost what I want. But I need to set manually the date ! :-( Also, I know a system command 'date' which return the date in a format I can specify. Can I get the output of this command in a variable of my program ? I want to have something like this : variable = system ("date '+%d/%m/%Y'"); in order to print variable as a label in my widget. -- AlaiN. -- PGP Public Key ID: 0x74279229 -- _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
