Hello Dan, I don't think this issue is related to entries being placed inside a grid. I created this minimal example and it's working fine for me:
#include <gtk/gtk.h> static void activate(GApplication* app, gpointer user_data) { GtkWidget* window = gtk_application_window_new( GTK_APPLICATION(app)); gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "GridTest"); gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window), 10); GtkWidget* entry1 = gtk_entry_new(); GtkWidget* entry2 = gtk_entry_new(); GtkWidget* entry3 = gtk_entry_new(); GtkWidget* entry4 = gtk_entry_new(); gtk_editable_set_editable(GTK_EDITABLE(entry1), FALSE); gtk_editable_set_editable(GTK_EDITABLE(entry3), FALSE); GtkWidget* grid = gtk_grid_new(); gtk_grid_set_row_spacing(GTK_GRID(grid), 10); gtk_grid_set_column_spacing(GTK_GRID(grid), 10); gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry1, 0, 0, 1, 1); gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry2, 0, 1, 1, 1); gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry3, 1, 0, 1, 1); gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry4, 1, 1, 1, 1); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), grid); gtk_widget_show_all(window); } int main(int argc, char** argv) { GtkApplication* app = gtk_application_new( "de.codemusings.GridTest", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE); g_signal_connect(app, "activate", G_CALLBACK(activate), NULL); int retval = g_application_run(G_APPLICATION(app), argc, argv); g_object_unref(app); return retval; } Compiled with: gcc -Wall -Werror -pedantic -std=c99 \ `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` grid-test.c -o grid-test The entries in the first row are not editable this way. What GTK version are you using? --Tilo Am Donnerstag, den 09.03.2017, 19:43 -0800 schrieb Dan Hitt: > I have some entries that are inside a grid (all gtk3 stuff). > > I cannot seem to make them uneditable with a call to > gtk_editable_set_editable(). > > I also have an entry outside the grid, which > gtk_editable_set_editable() certainly can make uneditable. > > So i think the difference between the two cases is the grid, and i'm > wondering if putting an entry inside a grid somehow makes it more > editable.
