RE: [gtkmm] tables and rows

["Garriss, Michael" <Michael Garriss abacus-direct com>]

If I understand the description of your problem correctly I personally would
use a Gtk::Table.

It's not possible to hide an entire column with the Gtk::Table API but it
would be trivial to create the concept of a column by writing a class that
maintains a collection of either references or pointers to all the
Gtk::Widget objects in a column.  You could then write your own "hide()" and
"show()" methods that just iterated through the collection and called hide()
or show() on each referenced Gtk::Widget in the column.  Although I've never
done it I believe you can call freeze_child_notify() on your table before
calling all the hide() or show() methods and then call thaw_child_notify()
on the table to make all the drawing happen at once.

Subject: [gtkmm] tables and rows


Hi all,

I need to display a table where each row has the same elements.
Actually a vbox containing n hboxes would be easy to build and
intuitive. But I want the 'cells' to be aligned like in a real table.

What do you think is more elegant / less effort ?

1) vbox with hboxes
drawback: manually taking care of the alignments
benefit:  could write a class for the rows making is

2) table
drawback: adding rows more complicated
benefit:  everything is aligned automatically

BTW: Is it possible to hide some columns of a table ?

TIA
