a GtkHScale "is a" GtkRange. maybe you need to learn more about object
orientation? check out the object hierarchy:
GObject
+----GtkObject
+----GtkWidget
+----GtkRange
+----GtkScale
+----GtkHScale
GtkHScale is subclassed from GtkScale, which is subclassed from
GtkRange, which is subclassed from... blah blah blah. That means you
can treat a valid GtkHScale* as a valid GtkRange*.
GtkWidget* p = gtk_hscale_new_with_range (0, 100, 1);
gtk_widget_show( p );
printf("%f\n", gtk_range_get_value(GTK_RANGE(p)) );
as for getting the pointer to GtkHScale, look for information about
lookup_widget(). you should see it used in Glade tutorials.
