RE: window re-size of application?

[martyn 2 russell bt com]

You have to get the GdkWindow * of the GtkWindow u want to resize and call
the function gdk_window_moveresize (I think) or gdk_window_resize.  There
are two ways of doing it, these functions are defined in the GTK home under
gdk/gdk.h

To get the GdkWindow, it must be visible and you can get it by either
calling a gtk function or referring to the GtkWindow's properties, eg:

GtkWindow *win = (get from glade file)
GtkWidget *widget = GTK_WIDGET(win);
GdkWindow *wingdk = widget->window;

There is also a function defined in gtkwindow.h that allows you to get the
GdkWindow from a GtkWindow pointer.

Subject: window re-size of application?


Hi all,
 I wrote an GTK app (initially created using Glade) and am having trouble
doing
one thing with it:

How the heck do i dynamically re-size the main window?
Here's what i mean:  Initially, i create the window with a specified width &
height.  But i have a drop down toggled menu item that i wish to re-draw the
window with a slightly larger width & height when the user selects this
option.

Is there any sort of "gtk_window_resize()" function?
I searched the archives for this list and did find a "gdk_window_resize()",
but
i dont' think that is what i want, is it?

Also, do i have to pass in the 'main_window' pointer into the toggled
menu-item
function?

Any ideas/suggestions/ or places i could look for code examples would be
greatly
appreciated.

Here's a couple code snippets from my app:
