RE: CList event problems - bug???

2001-05-22 Thread rhfreeman
[snip] The problem with that method is that when I click and drag the CLIST column title to alter the width of the widget it also registers it as a click on row 0. I've not found a way to find a difference between a click on the resize bar and normal click on the clist itself.

Well, this will give you a bit more of an idea what's going on (or not, as the case may be). I don't know why the raise/lower don't work correctly in this case. Looks like either a bug in Fixed or the Canvas to me. --p #include gtk/gtk.h #include gtk-canvas.h /* compiled with : gcc

2001-05-22 Thread Ian King
Is there a way of 'always' returning the correct height/width of a widget whether or not it has been expanded in its parent or is mapped/unmapped. At the moment I am putting a split area in to a window (min size 400*400) and I would expect the width and height of the split area to be 400*400
