Paul, GTK+ widget is not a c++ class, it is a C structure. If you want to create custom widget, you should define it structure for it and some mandatory functions. Read manuals about this, for example: http://zetcode.com/tutorials/cairographicstutorial/customgtkwidget/ If you need just to add several data field into the widget you can use functions g_object_set_data, g_object_get_data.
