Hi

I do not exactly get your requirement. I use a GTK2 + GLADE based GUIs a lot. To get inputs from various text boxes, I get the text box objects from Glade and put them as a global / member variable. So I can access all the text box's when some button is clicked.

Have a look at the 'BUILD' function and 'get_object' in http://code.google.com/p/saaral-soft-search-spider/source/browse/trunk/src/Libs/GtkSpiderGui.pm
