Hi everyone I am working on a TreeView which uses a fairly complicated edit widget. The edit widget contains a variable number of TextViews and I am required to display the TextViews such that all of the text contained with them will be displayed. Therefore, given the width of the editor widget, I need the heights of the sub-widgets in the editor widget (such that the above mentioned requirement is satisfied). At the moment I am computing the heights "by hand"; for example, I do my own text layouts with Pango and then get the required heights. I have had no success in getting widgets to report their "ideal" heights when given a width. I can't use gtk_window_set_geometry_hints, because I need to compute heights before the widgets receive windows on which to draw themselves (if I am mistaken here, please help me out; it seems I really have much to learn about GTK). I have tried gtk_widget_set_size_request, but to no avail. I have seen similar questions in the mailing list archive, although the difference here is that I want to compute heights without having to draw any widgets (if that is possible). Thanks in advance Wynand _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
