RE: basic GTKCList data manipulation

["Olivier Nenert" <onenert condumex com mx>]

Hi Najati..
for a)
you can get the row number with:
row=GPOINTER_TO_INT(GTK_CLIST(list)->selection->data);
(I had the same troubles and had to look at the sources to get this answer,
so it is not very
*comfortable* because it theoreticaly could change as not in the API doc.
(although I think it's in fact just because it was forgotten)
for b) maybe you could *mark* your row with a row_data and then look for it
*yuk* (you even have a function for that) (find_row_from_data .. something
like that)
I think you'll prefer a) :)

Cheers..
Olivier
