Remember that containers are widgets that can contain other widgets. The simplest type of container is *GtkBin* - it can only hold one child widget. An example of this container is a regular button. To add to or remove a widget from such a container: add($widget); $container->remove($widget); ?>]]> To obtain all the widgets in a container, use one of the following approaches. children(); $child_widgets = $container->children; ?>]]> In either case %$child_widgets% will be an array of immediate children, but the second approach lets you access a specific child directly, e.g. %$container->children[0]%.
