I am currently porting an existing tool to be platform independent, so in order to keep the same look and feel, I would like to use a Text Entry box. If it ends up that I can't do what needs to be done with the text box, than I will switch over to the FileChooserButton. Also, after searching for a while to find a way to align the text (when it is longer than the text entry can display) and not being able to find anything in gtkmm, I am kind of curious to hear if there is solution I am missing:)

Would you be able to use FileChooserButton? Or do you need it to be a text entry? FileChooserButton just shows the filename portion by default, and I believe it was designed specifically for this sort of a situation. http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1FileChooserButton.html -- jonner
