Hi. I was wondering how people manage possible conflicts with Ids in complex projects? Specially with GDK and Object Oriented Programming.
All the CreateSomething functions ask for an Id for the Image, Object, etc... and I'm used to the opposite, that the CreateSomething functions return some unique Id that you hold in a variable.
I'm starting now with GDK, and have a couple of workarounds in mind, but I would like to know if I'm missing something obvious.

Well, something as simple as this does the job well enough. Elaborations are of course possible.


For actually keeping track of things... arrays / lists are your friends

Yes, a global variable for each one of the Id types is what I had in mind. I just wanted to be sure I was not missing some already built-in function or something. Thanks!
