Re: Setting a GtkLabel's INSENSITIVE color to black

[Yu Feng <rainwoodman gmail com>]

Did you mean that you want to keep the size of the Label while hiding
it?

I have an idea, if you would like to give it a try:

void hide_label(GtkLabel * label) {
GtkRequisition req;
gtk_widget_size_request(label, &req);
g_object_set_data_full("label-backup", g_strdup(gtk_label_get_label()),
g_free);
gtk_label_set_label(" ");
gtk_widget_set_size_request(label, req.width, req.height);
gtk_widget_queue_resize(label);
}

void show_label(GtkLabel * label) {
gtk_widget_set_size_request(label, -1, -1);
gtk_label_set_label(g_object_get_data("label-backup"));
gtk_widget_queue_resize(label);
}
