GCC C GTK ENTRY SET TEXT with GLADE-CodePudding

I have a small problem, I have used GTK with other languages but with C being new I cannot find tutorials that allow me to use interfaces created with Glade and the ones I have found explain everything else.

I tried to write a code in C where I have to insert a text in a GTK_ENTRY but nothing appears even following the instructions and using alternatives errors are shown during compilation.

I need to use GLADE because the software will have to work in many languages and the Glade file is customizable.

gtk_entry.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gmodule.h>

GtkWidget   *MyEntry;

int main (int argc, char *argv[]){
    
    
    GtkBuilder      *XML; 
    GtkWidget       *window;
    
    
    
    
    
    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    XML = gtk_builder_new();
    
    gtk_builder_add_from_file (XML, "gtk_entry.glade", NULL);

    window = GTK_WIDGET(gtk_builder_get_object(XML, "MyWindow"));
    MyEntry = GTK_WIDGET(gtk_builder_get_object(XML, "MyEntry"));
    
    
    gtk_builder_connect_signals(XML, NULL);

    g_object_unref(XML);

    gtk_widget_show(window);                
    gtk_main();

  
    
    return 0;
    
}
extern "C" G_MODULE_EXPORT void on_Write_clicked(GtkButton *Write, gpointer user_data)
{   
    
    
    const gchar *TextVar;
    
    
    printf("\n Verify Button Write");//Its work correctly 
    TextVar = "Verify Button Write"; // Work too
    
    
    //doesnt appar nothing 
    void gtk_entry_set_text (GtkEntry* MyEntry, const gchar *TextVar); 
    
}
extern "C" G_MODULE_EXPORT void on_Exit_clicked(GtkButton *Exit, gpointer user_data)
{
        gtk_main_quit();
}
extern "C" G_MODULE_EXPORT void on_MyWindow_destroy(GtkWidget *MyWindow, gpointer user_data)
{
    
        gtk_main_quit();
}

Change the following line

//doesnt appar nothing 
void gtk_entry_set_text (GtkEntry* MyEntry, const gchar *TextVar);

with

gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(MyEntry), TextVar);

And make sure you are compiling with -rdynamic flag.
