i am using ruby-gtk. There is a notebook in my application. I added  
textView to scrolledWindow. I want to get textView buffer. My some code

editor = Textview.new  
swin = Gtk::ScrolledWindow.new  
tab = Gtk::Notebook.new  
swin.add(editor)  
tab.append\_page(swin, Gtk::Label.new(“Tab”)  
tab.get\_nth\_page(current\_page).buffer # wrong because its contain is a  
scrolledWindow

How can i get editor buffer?

Change tab.get\_nth\_page(current\_page).buffer to  
tab.get\_nth\_page(current\_tab).child.buffer And that should work.
