RE: Question about layout

["Thomas Cameron" <tom ceisystems com>]

Olexiy,

        I had thought about that, but I need to be able to scroll up and
down through the buttons, and there's no easy way to do that.  I am also
looking into the GtkLayout widget, but you have to supply the X and Y
coords for every widget that you pack into it.  Additionally, I'm not
sure that you can turn off its horizontal scroll.

        If anybody knows more about this widget (before I go ripping up
header files), I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks again!
Tom Cameron

Hello, Tom
Cant you use GtkHBoxes packed into one GtkVBox ?
