I am currently attempting to write my first GTK program, which is a graphical mp3 jukebox frontend to the mpg123 linux command. I wish to have each button on a grid correspond to a different mp3 track. To do this I pass a pointer to a string (the name of the mp3 file) to the respective button callback functions. This all works well - the problem is that I have also built a 'reload button' which refreshes all the strings so that the same button then plays a different track to before the reload.
The problem is that even though the strings the pointers point to do seem to change (I write them out on leaving gtk_main) the buttons still seem to point to the orignal strings, even though they have been overwirtten. Thus the button seems locked on to the original mp3 filename even if I overwrite this string. I guess this problem is perhaps easily overcome? (I can supply whatever details you may require including the code itself). Many thanks, Dan. p.s. I am new to GUI programming so please keep the advice at 'idiot level'! _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
