Hi All: My first glade screen requires 2 name and address fields. This question has to do with a vertical box expanding horizontally when it gets a widget. The layout should be roughly...... xxxxxx xxx ______ xxxxxx xxx _____ xxxxxx _____________________________ xxxxxx _________________________ _____________________________ _________________________ etc I can get approximately what I want in the left name layout, but in the process it expands into the space for the right name, destroying the screen symmetry Here are my steps. 1. A vertical pane with 2 panes. 2. A horizontal box of 2 columns in the top pane. 3. A vertical box of 6 rows in the leftmost horizontal box. 4. Fixed positions in the top row to hold a couple of labels and an entry field that needs only 5 characters. 5. Placing an entry field appears to cause the expansion of the left name space. It must have a default size. Have not found a way of restoring the right name space. Also tried a horizontal box of 3 columns in the top left row. I suppose eventually I would find a way of doing this, but if somebody has a quick tip it might save me lots of time.
