GtkWidget -> GtkToolItem function? Adding a GtkWidget to a GtkToolItemGroup

Question

I was looking at GtkToolPalette, it looks great. But I was wondering at the possibility to add a GtkHScale to one of the groups of the palette. I've checked GtkToolItemGroup can add only items of type GtkToolItem; Is there a way to get a GtkToolItem for an existing GtkWidget?

Answer 1

Look at this:

GtkToolItems are widgets that can appear on a toolbar. To create a toolbar item that contain something else than a button, use gtk_tool_item_new(). Use gtk_container_add() to add a child widget to the tool item.
