Hi Daniel and Tristan, Thanks for your replies.
I did succeed installing the properties, more or less same as you have defined in the example. I have one concern here, After I had installed the properties , I had used g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_WIDGET, NULL) to create the object in gtk_widget_new() function. But (as per ur example) gnome_db_grid_set_property () wasnt invoked. But when I created the object by passing the first_argument name, i.e g_object_new(GTK_TYPE_WIDGET, raw_grid, value, NULL) only then gnome_db_grid_set_property() was invoked. All I want to know is, Well the above stated behaviour of GTK is default behavior or Am I going wrong some where.

Review the GObject documentation. You mus have a your_widget_class_init function with this: /* Properties */ object_class->set_property = gnome_db_grid_set_property; object_class->get_property = gnome_db_grid_get_property; g_object_class_install_property (object_class, PROP_RAW_GRID, g_param_spec_object ("raw_grid", NULL, NULL, GNOME_DB_TYPE_RAW_GRID, G_PARAM_READABLE)); g_object_class_install_property (object_class, PROP_INFO, g_param_spec_object ("widget_info", NULL, NULL, GNOME_DB_TYPE_DATA_WIDGET_INFO, G_PARAM_READABLE)); 2006/8/23, Tristan Van Berkom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Madhusudan E wrote: > Hi, > The property wasn't defined on the object, But it started working when I > defined the first_property in g_object_new(). > > I have a query here, > Doesn't the gobject_class->set_property function be invoked without sending > the first_property parameter in g_object_new(). > If not then somewhere it needs to documented. > I dont understand your question really, - g_object_new() creates an object with the specified properties (if any properties are specified - otherwise they are assumed to be the defaults that you specified in the GParamSpec) - You can later set these properties using g_object_set() - If you cant set a property using g_object_set() later on - then you probably didnt give it G_PARAM_WRITABLE permissions or you called it G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY.
