Question

So, heres the deal, I’m using GTK on this one.

I’m asking for Name on a set_entry_text. So the user enters his name and I save that variable as a char.

char *jugador1, *jugador2 ///they're in a structure

void obten_nombre (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer info)
{
  WIDGETS *elementos = (WIDGETS *)info;
  gchar *j1, *j2;

   j1=malloc(50 *sizeof(gchar));
  j2=malloc(50 *sizeof(gchar));
  strcpy(j1,gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY( elementos->entry_j1)));
  strcpy(j2,gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY( elementos->entry_j2)));
  strcpy(elementos->jugador1, j1);
  elementos->jj1=j1;
  // strcpy(elementos->jugador2, j2);
  g_print("Jugador1: %s\n", elementos->jugador1);
   gtk_widget_hide_all(elementos->ventana_popup2);
   gtk_widget_show_all(elementos->ventana_principe);
}

There I’m making elementos->jugador1 a char variable.

I’m making a cast:

gchar auxjugador1;

How can I make

auxjugador1 = elementos->jugador1

so I can do a

gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(elementos->nombre_jugador1),auxjugador1);

Thank you guys!

Answer 1

jugador1 is NOT a char variable. It’s a char * (a pointer).

You can’t put a pointer into a gchar.

You can either make another pointer, and point it to the existing data, or declare an array large enough to hold a copy, then use strcpy.
