i used a hbox for the label of notebook, and the hbox widget contains a label and a button.

now i need to modify the label text in the hbox

i can get the hbox by gtk_notebook_get_tab_label
but how can i get the label widget from the hbox?

Since you know that the label is the 2nd child of the HBox (assuming that's how you packed them) then you can use gtk_container_get_children () on the GtkHBox and then g_list_nth_data () to get the 1st element (0-indexed I think) to get a pointer to that widget. Something like this maybe:

Code: (C)
1 2 3 4 5	GList children = gtk_container_get_children (hbox); GtkWidget label = g_list_nth_data (children, 1); g_list_free (children); g_assert (label);
