[comp.windows.x] get closure back from callbacks

hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble with callbacks. 

I'm working on some image processing software, where there are many command
widgets (with their pixmap resources set) as children to a composite widget. 
I am using the closure field in the callback resource for each of the widgets 
to point to extra information about to the images.

This works fine for normal callbacks. I can get to the image information 
through the client_data paramater. Sometimes i have to do some global
processing over all the images. I can do a walkthrough of the children of the
composite widget. This gets me all the images that are displayed, but i can't 
get the correct closure information out of their callback structures.

Is there a supported way to do this? Should the information be there? 


Thanks for all help,

	...alan
