Ok, Many thanks I think I'll use a GtkTreeView.

Well, unless you have a phenomenally wide screen, 200 boxes pointing to each other as you depict above will never fit. Besides, once you get above 5-10 boxes, comprehension begins to plummet. I'd just put them in a simple list, in whatever order makes sense to your audience (first to last or last to first.) You can do that with a tree view backed by a list store. -- Guy Rouillier _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
