Re: Child Packing

That's exactly how I control positioning (only I do it in Glade). I divide the area up with a vbox (one row for each row on the screen), then I divide each row up with an hbox (even if I only use one widget on that row). This give me the best ability I have found to position widgets exactly where I want them. -Jeremy On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 10:38:02 +0100, Malk0 <malk0.phpgtk@gmail.com> wrote: > hi, > there is a logical explanation to this problem in the manual : > "Note that all children in a GtkVBox are allocated the same width, > regardless of settings and child requisition size.
