Why? Am I doing something wrong? Hi, The reason is that glade is using gtk_widget_set_sensitive to set the widget insensitive. I reproduced your problem and the solution it to use this code instead to set it sensitive: GtkWidget *entry = lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(button),"entry"); gtk_widget_set_sensitive(GTK_WIDGET(entry),TRUE); -- Daniel Nilsson _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
