RE: Question about layout

["Thomas Cameron" <tom ceisystems com>]

Hello all,

        First off, I would like to thank Nabil and the others that
responded to me.  You help is much appreciuated.  I have decided to use
the method that Nabil pointed out, which is used in the scrolledwin
example included with the GTK source.  This is as close to what I am
looking for as I have come so far.  Instead of creating a new scrolled
window, though, the Viewport will be packed into an existing Hbox.

        Now, for the next question.  Is there a way to "hide" the scroll
bar(s) of a layout, and connect signals to two buttons to do the
vertical scrolling?  In other words, the up and down buttons aren't
large enough for my application, and I would like to use custom buttons.
How can I do this?  I will probably pack these before and after the
Viewport (if possible), so that they don't get scrolled themselves.

        Anyway, thanks again everyone for all your help!

Sincerely,
Tom Cameron

There is an example in the docs which does exactly what you want:

/usr/doc/libgtk1.2-dev/examples/scrolledwin
