When using the komodo ide for php I could interact with my program, putting in data and using checkboxes and other HTML controls while debugging the code in the IDE. I would like to do the same thing for a C project. Geany uses GTK+ which has controls. Can I interact in some terminal while debugging in the geany ide? Can I use other libraries like allegro to get controls that I can interact with? Thanks, rm_
Have you looked at the debugger plugin?
Cheers Lex

Using Scope or one of the other GDB plugins you can do typical debugging stuff (set breakpoints, step into/over/next, etc) but I'm not sure you'll be able to (or want to) inject machine code for your favourite GUI library and jump to it and make it update GUI state, and so on from the GDB shell.
You can also just use plain old GDB command (or ncurses) interface, I think all the GDB plugins for Geany probably provide a terminal all hooked up to the debugger. GDB supports Python scripting IIRC, which might make the kind of thing it sounds like you want to do a little more bearable/possible.
If instead you want to muck around with Geany's GTK GUI from the command line, you probably want GeanyPy, which provides hooks into Geany's guts from Python, and provides a Python command line and would allow you to make windows with forms that could insert text into your source code, etc. It's a little unclear exactly what you want to do.
