wide characters in GTK+

[chuchi]

Hi everyone!! I am developing GTK application that has to treat with wide characters. But when I pass a wide character to a label, it does not work properly.


This is a sample code that does not work:








int main(int argc, char *argv[] ){

gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "UTF-8");
GtkWidget *window=gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
GtkWidget *hbox=gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 1);
wchar_t wide[]=L"this is wide";
GtkWidget *label=gtk_label_new(wide);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), hbox);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), label, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

gtk_widget_show(label);
gtk_widget_show_all (window);


gtk_main ();


return 0;
}





The label is not shown properly, why??


Thank you very much!
