Thus my question is how can I get a pango context from a > GtkCellRendererText? AFAIK, the pango context used by the GtkCellRenderer is the same used by the treeview, so try to make something like: context = gtk_widget_get_pango_context (my_treeview) About how to get what you want, I think that the next pseudocode could be your base: gint compute_break_position_on_my_text (my_tree_view, text) { width = gtk_tree_view_column_get_width(the_column_of_my_treeview) context = gtk_widget_get_pango_context(my_tree_view); layout = pango_layout_new(context); pango_layout_set_markup(layout, text, -1); pango_layout_xy_to_index(layout, width * PANGO_SCALE, 0, &offs, &trailing); g_object_unref(layout); brk = g_utf8_offset_to_pointer(text + offs, trailing); return brk - text; } But I'm not sure, as I'm not a pango expert. Hope this helps. === API (apinheiro@xxxxxxxxxx) _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
