GTK newbie help on G_CALLBACK

[bnrj.rudra]

Dear Friends,
This is a question on GTK, but failed to find a forum on that. Since GTK is based on C, posting here with fingers crossed.
I have taken a project (my own, not homework) to develop a table. I
generally work with fortran, dont know C that much.
What I want is a gtk clist to pop up when I press a button, via
callback. The button widget in my code is


/* Create first button */
button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("B1");

/* When the button is clicked, we call the "callback" function
* with a pointer to "button 1" as its argument */
g_signal_connect (button, "clicked",
G_CALLBACK (callback), (gpointer) "B1");


/* Insert button 1 into the upper left quadrant of the table */
gtk_table_attach_defaults (GTK_TABLE (table), button, 0, 1, 0, 1);

gtk_widget_show (button);
The definations are mostly based on
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/2.24/x344.html

What I want to do is callback to execute another gtk file(a clist),
rather than what shown in the example

Code:
static void callback( GtkWidget *widget,
gpointer data ) {
g_print ("Hello again - %s was pressed\n", (gchar *) data);
}
Can you please show me how I can get this?

Dear Friends,

What about all the mailing lists about GTK+ you find at

http://www.gtk.org/mailing-lists.php

There also seem to be some fora but I have no idea how
good they are (and e.g. www.gtkforums.com seems to suffer
from a massive attack by spammers at the moment).

Since GTK is based on C, posting here with fingers crossed.

No luck;-) This is all about how to use a certain library out
of probably millions written in C. You will need people with
knowledge about this specific library (beside C) to solve your
problem so I guess you will really be better off if you ask
in a place where discussions about GTK+ is the main topic.
