Hi all, I've got a few simple questions I haven't been able to suss out myself using the docs/examples/Nabble. First, can I bound a Pango operation in the Y direction? Having text bleeding downwards an unknown distance is not handy. :-) The docs talk about being able to do much more with Pango (ie finer control) but I can't get my head around how. I did try to draw the lines[] of a Layout separately but with no success.
Also, is there an equivalent to or way of doing Graphics.MeasureString() in Pango? One of my major components kinda hinges on knowing the size of a character when is being drawn. It's basically a grid of characters - more on that in a future post... The second question is about HPaned and VPaned. Is there a simple accepted way to set the proportion (or at the very least the width/height of the left/top panel) and to have the application remember the setting? Basically I can see what I might have to do here, but I was guessing there would be a common (well tested) way to do it. Thirdly, I'm presently having to do context menus myself and they look dumb. Can I display a floating MenuBar widget somehow? Better yet is there a context menu widget I don't know about? I can see events for context menus and have read several posts requesting info about it but I can't find any actual info. Sorry, a lot of the questions I have probably seem extra dumb because I'm doing all this without Glade and my GUI has two fairly complex custom controls that are taking up most of my time - always fun when you're new to the API to begin with. :-) I'm managing to overcome most problems but these have had me stumped from the start. Thanks in advance for any info, Aaron. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron Oxford - aaron+hardwarehookups .com .au Director, Innovative Computer Solutions (Aust) Pty.
