RE: Paned questions

[rhfreeman <rhfreeman micron com>]

Yes thanks Olaf (and Thomas) for your input. The solution I used in the end
was to have vpaneds in vpaneds to give all the levels I need. So in Olaf's
example, hpaned2's pack1 widget was infact hpaned1! I can have as many
hboxes as I need now and have some sort of paned control over them.

Just one question now. My hboxes have a drawing_area in them which I need to
resize. However, I can't tell the difference between the main window being
re-sized and the paned widget re-sizing the hbox. I need to handle these
differently! Does the paned widget give out a different signal or something
similar I can use to tell the two events apart?

Thanks!!!

Rich
