[pygtk] PyGtk / Glade - how to get name of textEntry

[Olaf Devik]

Thanks for tip Dieter, but I have tried gtk.Widget.get_name(widget) 
function, returns eg GtKEntry for a TextEntry field and GtkLabel for a 
label, ie the same as I get when using widget.get_name(). Code:

             print j.get_name()
             print gtk.Widget.get_name(j)

Both returns GtkEntry when run on a TextEntry.

I am after the name of the TextEntry as given in Glade, such as enTime 
or enDate.

Any ideas?

Regards
