They're *STILL* 600 pixels wide! I even asked their container to be 100 pixels wide with set_usize and it seems like I was ignored. So tried setting every individual button (but not the container VBox) to be 100 pixels wide. Again, that's ignored. For fun, I ignored the manual, and set *BOTH* the container and all the buttons with ->set_usize(100, -1) and it ignores me. What gives? Do I have to sacrifice a rubber chicken too? I'm only allowed ONE child in a window, but I can't express how to pack it, because windows aren't containers, they are bins, so I'm stuck with the one child being full-size of the window?... Do you always just put a Box in a Box in a Window, just so the inner box can be packed the way you want?... Would that work? I'm about to run off and try Glade, if I can get it to run, but I'm looking forward to using a GUI about as much as I look forward to getting a hangnail... :-^ Got a nice splash screen class I could clean up and post somewhere though. What's the best place? PS I'm not actually getting emails from the list. Must be on 'vacation' from years and years ago... CC me for now, if you would. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
