Hi everyone,

I have a combo box in which there are a few words. I am trying to build a menu option that will generate a LaTeX file with those words, that can then be compiled to produce PDF output. For that, I need to first obtain the list of words that already in the combo box.

I checked the DevHelp documentation thoroughly; in particular, I looked at the sample programmes in the section on GtkTreeModel. The sample given there is almost exactly what I am doing here. (The only difference is that in the sample programme a new tree model is built explicitly, whereas in my code below, I am obtaining the tree model from the combo box known as WordListComboBox.) Note: The code below shows only the relevant portion.

I am at a total loss as to why the following code will not work:

Code:
void on_generate_tex_activate (GtkMenuItem     *menuitem, gpointer user_data)
{

  GtkTreeModel *TreeModel;
  GtkTreeIter Iter;
  gboolean Valid;

  TreeModel = gtk_combo_box_get_model(GTK_COMBO_BOX(lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(menuitem), "WordListComboBox")));

  Valid = gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first(GTK_TREE_MODEL(TreeModel), &Iter);

  while(Valid) {

    gchar Word[65];
    gint i;
    for(i = 0; i < 65; i++) {
      Word[i] = '\0';
    } /* End for(i) */

    gtk_tree_model_get(GTK_TREE_MODEL(TreeModel), &Iter, 0, &Word[0], -1);
    g_print("%s\n", &Word[0]);

    Valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_next(GTK_TREE_MODEL(TreeModel), &Iter);

  } /* End while() */

}
When I run the programme and activate the menu option, instead of seeing the words in the combo box echoed in the terminal, I get strange characters. However, the number of lines of strange characters always matches the number of words in currently in the combo box.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing incorrectly? Instead of output like:

word_1
word_2
word_3

why do I see:

..P
*Q>
>V,

Thanks in advance for your help.
