Re: how to access a widget ?

[edward hage <edha@xxxxxxxxx>]

I cracked the problem, was an matter of allocating space. Also not assigning &buttonreeks 
but buttonreeks.
Also one pointer and changing the value for every button was not good, in hindside very 
obvious because every button needs a different pointer otherwise every button will do the 
same (pointing to the same data). So I made an array of pointers.

That leaves me only with two questions:
1) Can this be achieved more simple ?
2) I declared "struct _buttonreeks *buttonreeks[30]; " because this is in most cases large 
enough, but how can I make it lenght-independant (what if I need 32 ??).
struct _buttonreeks *buttonreeks[] does not compile !!

for those who are interested the solution given below:

struct _buttonreeks *buttonreeks[30];
GtkWidget *button;
struct table_description foo;
GArray *buts = NULL;

buts = g_array_sized_new (FALSE, FALSE, sizeof (struct table_description), 1);

...etc...

for (i=0; i < vertical - 1; i++)
{
   .... other things .

  for (j=1; j < vertical; j++)
  {
   if ((i < j) && Link_exists(i,j))
   {
     button = gtk_button_new ();
     gtk_button_set_label ((GtkButton *) button , " x");
     gtk_table_attach_defaults (GTK_TABLE (table), button , 1 + j, 2 + j, 1 + i, 2 + i);
	
    foo.buttons = button;  // get the information and store it in the GArray
    foo.i = i;
    foo.j = j;
    g_array_append_vals (buts, &foo, 1);
    }
   }
}

// g_signal_connect for all buttons
for (i=0; i < buts->len; i++)
{
  buttonreeks[i] = (struct _buttonreeks *) g_malloc(sizeof(struct _buttonreeks));
  buttonreeks[i]->buttonids = buts;
  buttonreeks[i]->i = g_array_index (buts, struct table_description, i).i;
  buttonreeks[i]->j = g_array_index (buts, struct table_description, i).j;
  button = g_array_index (buts, struct table_description, i).buttons;
  g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT(button), "clicked",
                      (GCallback) toggle_location_event, buttonreeks[i]);
}
