[gtkada] Newbie question: Glade-2 and child widget access

[Leonardo Cecchi]

Manuel, thanks for the reply and for the really good idea.
To access the child widgets I have to convert the Gtk.Widget type to my specific type.
I have some problems in the convertion.

For example if I put the line:

	Put_Line(Ada.Tags.Expanded_Name( Get_Toplevel(Object)'Tag   ));

in a callback from a Gtk.Image_Menu_Item I obtain this output:

	GTK.WINDOW.GTK_WINDOW_RECORD

and I can't convert to my window type.
If I put the code line on a Gtk.Button callback I obtain this output:

	FINESTRA_PRINCIPALE_PKG.FINESTRA_PRINCIPALE_RECORD

and I can convert because this is the type I want.
On the button all is perfect and I can work with child widget.
The problem is on the menu item.
Why this strange behavior? All the widget are in the same window......

Thanks,

Leonardo
