well, thanks to zz, i think i have something that actually works.... most or all of you know how, but for those wsho are new to gtk, i will explain what i learned.
i have a "value changed" callback that prints the value every time the horizontal slider is moved one increment. void cb_get_value (GtkAdjustment *adj) { double value; /* * get the value for each hscale */ value = gtk_adjustment_get_value(adj); fprintf(stdout,"hscale value: %g\n",value); } [ because i have at least four of these scales and the gender the user wishes, i may not call this function until late in the 'Options' section. yet to be decided. ] thanks to the whole list for everybody's help. i should be able to finish the project from here on without any further questions. famous last words [?] :) -gk -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Voice By Computer (for Universal Access): http:/www.thought.org/vbc The 8.57a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org Twenty-five years of service to the Unix community. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
