Re: How to get and set the width/height of a label?

[cbx <bnucbx gmail com>]

I tried:in Python,it is gtk.Label.size_request().However, it only return the size the widget request to draw itself.If you resize the window,which in turn resizes the label,the value gtk.Label.size_request() returns doesn't change.

I find gtk.Widget.get_allocation() would work,even when the label is resized.It returns a gtk.gdk.Rectangle(x, y, width, height),like (0, 0, 74, 17).

And,how to set the size of gtk.Label?Is gtk.Widget.size_allocate() the answer?

This works (C):

int main(int a_argc,char **a_argv)

{

GtkWidget *l_label;

GtkRequisition l_req;

gtk_init(&a_argc,&a_argv);

l_label = gtk_label_new("hello");

memset(&l_req,0,sizeof(GtkRequisition));

gtk_widget_size_request(l_label,&l_req); // not gtk_widget_get_size_request

printf("%d %d\n",l_req.width,l_req.height);

return 0;

}

Output: 31 17

Maybe in python is: gtk.Label.size_request()

There seems no answer in the pygtk API(me using Python currently). gtk.Label.get_size_request() only return (-1,-1).

Google doesn't give much information too. _______________________________________________
