Hi, Each type has an associated GType value which can be retrieved using the appropriate *_get_type() function. For a GtkButton, the function is: GType gtk_button_get_type(void); and GTK_TYPE_BUTTON is an equivalent macro: #define GTK_TYPE_BUTTON gtk_button_get_type() These are not described in the documentation since they all strictly follow the same conventions. Hope this helps, Jean Le lundi 25 juillet 2011 à 12:12 +0800, 丁少衡 a écrit : > Hello, all. > I wish I choose the right list to post my question and this would not > bothering you. > > I am learning gtk+ programming these days, on a debian squeeze > platform.
