GtkTreeColumn & CellRenderer Question!

[Van H Tran <tvhoang1980 yahoo com>]

Hi all,

I want to have a FIXED_SIZED colum that displays some
text, followed immediately by some number. Here is the
code:

    // cell renderers
    textRenderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new();
    numberRenderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new();
    g_object_set(G_OBJECT(textRenderer), "ellipsize",
PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_END, NULL);
    gtk_cell_renderer_set_fixed_size(textRenderer,
500, -1);
   
    // the column
    column = gtk_tree_view_column_new();
    g_object_set(G_OBJECT(column), "sizing",
GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED, NULL);
    gtk_tree_view_column_set_spacing (column,0);
    gtk_tree_view_column_set_fixed_width(column, 550);
    
    //pack them in
    gtk_tree_view_column_pack_start(column,
textRenderer, FALSE);
    gtk_tree_view_column_pack_start(column,
numberRenderer, FALSE);


  I want the textRenderer to ellipsize_end
automatically when the text is more than 500 pixels.
And the number should always follow right after the
text
 
 * Now, if i keep line number 5, then if the text is
short enough, the number will stay very far from the
text.
 * However, If i comment out line number 5, then if
the text is long enough, the number won't be
displayed....

 My question is : what other attributes, properties
must i set to achieve this? 
 I'd really appreciate any reply. Thanks in advance
 Cheers,
