I'm trying to get the text property from an entry in a dialog with the following code:

GtkWidget   *dialog, *entry;
gchar       *text;

entry = gtk_entry_new();

dialog = create_dialog();

...

gtk_container_child_get(GTK_CONTAINER(dialog), entry, "text", text, NULL);

and i'm getting the following:

(textview:3079): Gtk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+3.0-3.4.2/./gtk/gtkcontainer.c:919: container class `GtkDialog' has no child property named `text'

The dialog contains a label and an entry with two buttons.
