Re: Is it possible to set the size properties of button widgets?

Normally not - widgets in Gtk take as much space as they need, or, if told, fill all the space they get. > the problem i've got is that when i create a window (100pixels x 100pixels), > and add a button to the window, the button will be as large as the window. > Can i manually specify the buttons dimensions? If you don't set the window dimensions, the window will be as large as the button needs to be ideally. However, you could add a GtkVBox to the window and pack_start the button in it. Just make sure that the "expand" parameter is set to false. Another, but bad solution would be to use a GtkFixed instead of the vbox, on which you can exactly lay out the button. But be careful with fixed layouts; they don't scale and if the user has a larger font size, he will get problems because there won't be enough space for the button text. -- Regards/MfG, Christian Weiske
