[lazarus] gtk help

[Payne Thomas E CNIN]

I was looking at the 1.2 tutorial and their first example was hello_world.

I looked at gtk/examples/notebook.pp and tried to come up with hello_world
from the C example.
I actually saved it in the lazarus-hello_world directory under the same
name, so I could use the makefile.

I ran ito some trouble.  About line 52, button = , produced an illegal
character error.  

Can anyone help?

  // This is called in all GTK applications. Arguments are parsed
  // from the command line and are returned to the application.
  gtk_init (@argc, @argv);

  // create a new window
  window := gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

  // When the window is given the "delete_event" signal (this is given
  // by the window manager, usually by the 'close' option, or on the
  // titlebar), we ask it to call the delete_event () function
  // as defined above. The data passed to the callback
  // function is NULL and is ignored in the callback function.
  gtk_signal_connect (pGTKOBJECT (window), 'delete_event',
                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (@delete_event), NIL);


  // Here we connect the "destroy" event to a signal handler.
  // This event occurs when we call gtk_widget_destroy() on the window,
  // or if we return 'FALSE' in the "delete_event" callback.
  gtk_signal_connect (pGTKOBJECT (window), 'destroy',
                    GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (@destroy), NULL);

  // Sets the border width of the window.
  gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

  // Creates a new button with the label "Hello World".
  //button = gtk_button_new_with_label ('Hello_World');

  // When the button receives the "clicked" signal, it will call the
  // function hello() passing it NULL as its argument.  The hello()
  // function is defined above. */
 // gtk_signal_connect (pGTKOBJECT (button), 'clicked',
 //                             GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (@hello), NULL);

  // This will cause the window to be destroyed by calling
  // gtk_widget_destroy(window) when "clicked".  Again, the destroy
  // signal could come from here, or the window manager
  //gtk_signal_connect_object (pGTKOBJECT (button), 'clicked',
  //                    GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_widget_destroy),
  //                    GGGTK_OBJECT(window));

  // This packs the button into the window (a gtk container).
  //gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);

  // The final step is to display this newly created widget.
  gtk_widget_show (button);

  // and the window
  gtk_widget_show (window);

  // All GTK applications must have a gtk_main(). Control ends here
  // and waits for an event to occur (like a key press or
  // mouse event).
  gtk_main ();
