some of us have compared it to the docs on other equivalent libraries and don't find it that poor. it would be enough to leave out the comments on quality unless you intend to fix it yourself. what is missing more than anything is coverage of "how do i do XXXX?" issues. its amazing how everybody who asks this question of their own particular XXXX believes that it should be very, very much easier to accomplish XXXX than they find it to be, not realizing that actually GTK and Gtkmm tend to support the "default" needs of most developers quite well. > if I remove or hide a widget in the main container of my Gtk::Window, > how can i force the Window size to be recomputed accordingly (e.g. > shrinking) however, in your case it really does appear that there is some missing functionality, or rather, since Gtkmm is just a wrapper around GTK, some missing wrappers. it is always wise to check the docs for GTK when you can't find what you need in the Gtkmm docs, and in this case, you'd be checking GtkWindow, since its the window and not the vbox whose behaviour you want to control. the relevant function is: gtk_window_set_policy() and i believe that if you set auto-shrink to true, you will get the behaviour you want. Murray - is there a reason this function isn't wrapped? --p _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
