Solved: How to make a gtktreeview column flexible?
Hi, in have solved this problem. Here's the answer for reference: Instead of using gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_attributes to insert a column, one might use seperate calls to gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes and gtk_tree_view_insert_column as this give us an explicit reference to the column. Thus one can use gtk_tree_view_column_set_expand(TRUE) on that column and voila ... the column scales nicely with the window width.

Re: Learning Glade
Well, I can figure out how to use Glade, but after I have a .glade file, how do I use it in my program?

You have to enable ellipsize seperately of course, but then yes, once the window is not wide enough the text in the "flexible" column is being ellipsized nicely.

The GtkBuilder manual, first hit on google for "gtkbuilder": http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.12/GtkBuilder.html doesnt include a code example but its used in the same basic way as libglade was used.

Thanks - the code included in those docs seem helpful. I'll try them out.

And the trick was setting expand(True). Interesting. In my code I use a listener on the size-request signal, to change the fixed width of the column. > Till > > > > > On Sat, 2008-04-26 at 11:16 +0100, Till Harbaum / Lists wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > in have solved this problem.

Re: setting the font of a dialog widget
Hey there, I just now got back to this problem. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but it seems that the solution you recommend is solely a solution for Gtk::Labels -- not for general widgets. I can change the font size for labels -- but not for other widgets (e.g. CheckButton, RadioButton.). That's my issue. To recap: How do I change the font size of a general widget? Thanks in advance. 2008/4/18 Garth's KidStuff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > that's not relevant). If the widget I'm trying to set happens to be a > Gtk::Label, then it works. But other widgets (e.g. Gtk::Frame or > Gtk::Checkbutton) don't and just seem to use their default font no matter > what. For example: I do this with gtk_label_set_markup(). For example: gtk_label_set_markup (GTK_LABEL (label), "hello"); > // Add the fixed widget to the dialog and size it properly > get_vbox()->add(m_Fixed); > m_Fixed.set_size_request( 566, 500 ); Fixed size widgets should be avoided if you possibly can, I'm sure you know this. gtk has a lot of layout widgets you can use to make resizeable dialogs.
