I have created an image from a file using image1 = gtk_image_new_from_file("pictures/Empty.gif"); gtk_widget_set_name (image1, "image1");
and displalyed it using: gtk_widget_show(image1); gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX (hbox1), image1, TRUE, TRUE, 0); and that works fine. The image is correctly displayed where I want it. Later, when a particular event happens (right now I have assigned it to a button press), I want to change the image to the image in the file "pictures/Full.gif" (which is exactly the same size as Empty.gif). To do that, I did the following: void on_button1_pressed (GtkButton *button, gpointer user_data) { GtkWidget *imageptr; imageptr = lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(button), "image1"); if(imageptr != NULL) { gtk_image_set_from_file(GTK_IMAGE(imageptr), "pictures/Full.gif"); } else fprintf(stderr, "image1 not found\n"); } When I press the button, the image is replaced by a broken image icon, not the new image. What am I doing wrong? I am obviously getting the correct widget with the lookup_widget call, since the image changed. The file "Empty.gif" and the file "Full.gif" are in the same directory, and when I change the gtk_image_new_from_file() call to load the "Full.gif" file, that works fine as well, so I know the file is there and readable. I just don't understand why it didn't change to the new image.
