[Glade-users] Loading widgets from XML file using libglade

[gromot at gmail.com (Lukasz Gromotowicz)]

As far as I can see, the Gtk-Critical fault says that you can not put the
widget onto another parent because it already has a parent. The second
parameter in the glade_xml_new() is for the root widget node. Try this:

page1xml=glade_xml_new("./page1.glade","mainvbox",NULL);

and then

rightpanevbox= glade_xml_get_widget(page1xml,"mainvbox");

Hope it works,
good luck.
