I have a tree view with 3 columns, which sits within a scrolled window. The middle column contains what can be quite a lengthy string. When the user opens the window in question, I'd like her to be visually aware that the third column is there: the problem is that with the columns autosized, the length of the middle string can push the third column out of the visible zone (you have to scroll horizontally to reach it).
The ideal solution, I think, would be (a) set the starting width of the middle column to some reasonable maximum (when the window is first opened), but then (b) allow the user to expand it to read the full string if need be. I can achieve (a) using gtk_tree_view_column_set_max_width() with a suitable second argument, but how to achieve (b)? I have tried calling gtk_tree_view_column_set_max_width() with a second argument of -1 once the tree view is realized, but this results in the column immediately being autosized, making (a) useless. I guess what I'm looking for is gtk_tree_view_column_set_width() without the "max". That function doesn't exist, but is there a way of doing it? Thanks for any suggestions. -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University, NC _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
