Re: [PHP-GTK] reading value from an Gtkentry() ?

tnx a lot :)

i just signed up for this list so i mist your answer the first time.
but i wasnt to far off ;)

this question probably gets asked a lot i guess.
(probably right after: how do i create a text entry)

maybe its a good idea to put this one in a faq somewhere.

oh,
one more question,

if you open a child window, and close it again with Gtk::main_quit();
it destroys all windows (which is sort of obvious)
is it possible to destroy only the newest window?

tnx
