Re: does being inside a grid make an entry more editable?

[Tilo Villwock <codemusings gmail com>]

Hello Dan,

I don't think this issue is related to entries being placed inside a
grid. I created this minimal example and it's working fine for me:

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>
    
    static void activate(GApplication* app, gpointer user_data)
    {
        GtkWidget* window = gtk_application_window_new(
            GTK_APPLICATION(app));
        gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "GridTest");
        gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window), 10);
    
        GtkWidget* entry1 = gtk_entry_new();
        GtkWidget* entry2 = gtk_entry_new();
        GtkWidget* entry3 = gtk_entry_new();
        GtkWidget* entry4 = gtk_entry_new();
    
        gtk_editable_set_editable(GTK_EDITABLE(entry1), FALSE);
        gtk_editable_set_editable(GTK_EDITABLE(entry3), FALSE);
    
        GtkWidget* grid = gtk_grid_new();
        gtk_grid_set_row_spacing(GTK_GRID(grid), 10);
        gtk_grid_set_column_spacing(GTK_GRID(grid), 10);
        gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry1, 0, 0, 1, 1);
        gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry2, 0, 1, 1, 1);
        gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry3, 1, 0, 1, 1);
        gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), entry4, 1, 1, 1, 1);
    
        gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), grid);
        gtk_widget_show_all(window);
    }
    
    int main(int argc, char** argv)
    {
        GtkApplication* app = gtk_application_new(
            "de.codemusings.GridTest", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE);
        g_signal_connect(app, "activate", G_CALLBACK(activate), NULL);
        int retval = g_application_run(G_APPLICATION(app), argc, argv);
        g_object_unref(app);
    
        return retval;
    }

Compiled with:

    gcc -Wall -Werror -pedantic -std=c99 \
        `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` grid-test.c -o grid-test

The entries in the first row are not editable this way. What GTK
version are you using?
