Here is a small standalone snippet illustrating of the problem.
The allocation for each of the 2 entries does *not* reflect the actual
on-screen size of the widgets, but rather the space allocated for them
by the container. Can somebody tell me what's happening? Why the entries
are not resized to their allocations? How to solve my problem? Thanks!!!
#start
import gobject
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
def on_focus_in(widget, event):
allocation = widget.get_allocation()
print allocation.x, allocation.y, allocation.width, allocation.height
if(__name__ == "__main__"):
window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
window.set_size_request(200, 100)
window.set_title("GTK Entry")
window.connect("delete_event", lambda w, e: gtk.main_quit())
entry1 = gtk.Entry()
entry2 = gtk.Entry()
entry1.connect("focus-in-event", on_focus_in)
entry2.connect("focus-in-event", on_focus_in)
box = gtk.VBox()
window.add(box)
box.add(entry1)
box.add(entry2)
window.show_all()
window.show()
gtk.main()
#end
Hello!
I'm implementing a custom popup window for a gtk.Entry. Actually it's
a custom completion popup. but does not really matter. The real
question is:
*for a given gtk.Entry (parented, realized) get location of the
left-bottom corner of the entry in screen coordinates* (in order to
position the popup window).
Part of the problem I solved myself:
window = entry.get_parent_window()
origin = window.get_origin()
origin returns left-top corner of window's client area in screen
coordinates. It's OK.
But I'm not able to get *actual* entry position and size in window
coordinates. entry.get_allocation() returns allocation which not
always corresponds to *actual* on-screen size and position, but rather
reflects he space devoted to the widget. For example putting gtk.Entry
into gtk.VBox gives the above results.
Help is much appreciated! Thanks!
