c - GTK+ 2 change label color of GtkCheckButton -

i change default label color of gtkcheckbutton. surely need access gtkcontainer or gtkbin , iterate through children. however, have not found code this.

i have:

gtkwidget* mycheckbox = gtk_check_button_new_with_label("hello");  gdkcolor color; gdk_color_parse ("#ff0000", &color); gtk_widget_modify_fg (mycheckbox, gtk_state_normal, &color); 

but modifies border's color.

any ideas?

ok, code works:

if(gtk_is_bin(mycheckbox)) {         gtkwidget *child = gtk_bin_get_child(gtk_bin(mycheckbox));         gdkcolor color;         gdk_color_parse ("#ff0000", &color);         gtk_widget_modify_fg (child, gtk_state_normal, &color);     } 

the idea came finding children of gtkwidget.
