String gadget

I'm trying to set a string gadget for user to type into. But when i try to compile it gives me an error. I have the same code in another project and works there. Has it something to do with the fact that i'm using gmake and the other i use make? Setting up the gadget is no porblem.
Here's the checking code and error message.

case GID_MAXNED:
snprintf(test,1024, "%s", ((struct StringInfo *)(gadgets[GID_MAXNED]->SpecialInfo))->Buffer);
printf("test=%s\n",test);
break;

error: request for member 'SpecialInfo' in '* gadgets[9]', which is of non-class type 'long unsigned int'


Any help here would be VERY helpfull for me.

Use GetAttrs(gadgets[GID_MAXNED], STRINGA_TextVal,text,TAG_DONE); instead.

@Antique

Either you didn't #include <proto/intuition.h> or "gadgets" is not declared as struct Gadget ** or struct Gadget *[].

Also depending on what kind of gadget it is you should either use GadAttrs or GT_GetGadgetAttrs. Your method is only allowed if you use Kick 1.3 coding style, i.e. set up the struct Gadget yourself. In all other cases you should use the corresponding functions.
