I still don't understand how this is supposed to help we when the widget doesn't exist. Perhaps I'm a bit slow today... Maybe I could create one "fake" widget and calculate the offsets or borders based on that, but is this really necessary? Isn't there a property somewhere that gives me the information? I mean, surely the (button/container) widget implementation takes it from *somewhere*, but where exactly is that? (Creating the "real" widgets is not an option, I think; the whole point is to delay the widget creation when scrolling a window that will literally contain tens of thousands of items.) - Toralf _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
