The problem with your first suggestion is that I have to hook every situation in which the tree view can be destroyed. The obvious one is when I change data sets. Exiting the program is another. There will be others when I implement more of the program. It certainly is possible to record the column widths at each of these points, but it sure is clumsy. The problem with the second suggestion is that writing a file is exactly what I need to do. The point of this exercise is to record in a file the width of each column as established by the user with the mouse so that the columns will have the same width the next time the program runs. A signal seems the ideal solution and it's the one I used previously (in wxWidgets), but any other suggestions are welcome. In the meantime, I'll work on capturing the column widths at every point where the tree view can be destroyed. -- Jeffrey Barish _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
