I am a reasonably experienced C programmer, but a total newbie to GTK+, and glade. I want to make a 5 line text "window" or panel, and write a message, then clear it, and write a new message each time one of 3 buttons is pressed. I call popen() to get some data and put in onto a window which already has an hbox with a button bar and a logo. The data changes when the user presses each button. The data might be a 1 line response to button A, but 3 or 5 lines to button B. I DON'T want the text area to resize the window when the new data arrives each time. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
