which is base class for GUI and event control in Inkscape?.If you have any test example for Inkscape please suggest me.

Well, first you're looking at things at perhaps the wrong level. You're asking very low-level implementation questions, but we don't have the higher-level context of why you need to do such things. Knowing that can really help.

Our first question would probably be if you are working on a bit of Windows-only functionality, or if it could be more general.

The next questions would be to narrow down your use to see if an extension would be more appropriate. If so, one describes the UI in abstract data needs in an .inx file and then Inkscape will magically do the rest.

Finally, the approach sounds a bit off. That is, the questions you are asking convey a hint of certain assumptions that make things look more like VB's approach to code. For more Inkscape coding, one does not worry about buttons and edit boxes as directly. Instead one can set up to use GtkActions that will be magically transformed at runtime into buttons, menuitems, etc. as needed dynamically. More generally, with overall GTK coding one would not focus on handling events out of buttons or edit boxes (in the cases where GtkAction is not appropriate), but instead create abstract data items that are tied to one or more UI controls and let them run with built-in behaviors.

You ask for a "test example", however we need specifics. What type of functionality are you looking for examples of? Once we know what type of end result you need, we can have a more concrete idea of which steps and code you will need to get there.

To summarize, you are asking us the "how do I implement step so-and-so" (the "how" of your solution) when we really first need to know the "why" of the final purpose you are needing to complete.
