Re: [pygtk] ComboBox icon alignment (for selecting file type from icons/text)

It seems that you want the pixbufs and text both left aligned. For that case don't set the xalign property and set expand=False in the first pack_start() call.

Change xalign for CellRendererText to 0.5, and you'll get it nicely centered when menu is shown, yet still looking valid when hidden Cheers, Maciej -- Tautologizm to co tautologicznego Maciej Katafiasz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mathrick.org ___ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/

For that case don't set the xalign property and set expand=False in the first pack_start() call. That does it. Thanks! I was spending my time in the wrong part of the reference/tutorial -- I needed to be reading about packing aligning widgets! I solved the other problem I mentioned -- wanting to connect to the FileChooser Entry widget -- by adding a timeout to check what the filename is and update the ComboBox widget accordingly if the user types in extension. The provides the same/similar functionality to what's described here http://www.gnome.org/~seth/designs/filechooser-spec/ Thanks for all your help!

Everything works well, except that the icons are not properly aligned -- they stagger along in a wavy line rather than all lining up. I just had to look a little bit closer to notice that the staggering was in proportion to the size of the text beside each icon. If I set the width property on CellRendererText to be a constant, everything lines up nicely. Which leads to one other question -- is there a nice way to calculate width for these items. Is there a way to ask pango how large each string will be and then take the largest value to use as my width? (I can get a PangoFontDescription from the 'font-desc' property of the cell renderer, but that's as far as I've gotten).
