?There are three options.
1. You can type your textview widget name in User data field for
"clicked" signal of your button in glade. Then your user_data pointer
will be pointer to the button, and the first argument will be pointer to
the textview. It is ugly and not very useful, cause most likely you will
need to access more than just textview widget in your callback.
2. You can use glade_xml_signal_connect_data() for each callback instead
of just using glade_xml_signal_autoconnect(), and set your user_data to
whatever you please (usually a structure containing relevant pointers).
It is somewhat tedious, but it is the proper way. I use it for big
projects.
3. Make everything you need to access global. It is perfectly fine for a
small app. Just do not forget to initialize your globals with
glade_xml_get_widget(). If you do not do this your globals are pointing
nowhere which was likely your problem in the initial case.
