im my Perl-Gtk2 app I need to give the main window a fixed size-request, in order to display all columns of a SimpleList widget.
That can't work. The widths of the columns are not fixed.
I made several tries, but as users can have different font resolution settings (90dpi, 96dpi, or more) the displayed window can or cannot show all the items.
If it was just this, it would be easy! But it's not that easy. The users can, in the first place, use different themens with completely different fonts -- with completely arbitrary sizes!
How can I be sure that, apart from font dpi's, the list window is always displayed in the same format (all column visible?)
That's easy. Just disable the hroizontal scrollbar! The scrolledwindow
has a set_policy call (or somesuch) with which you can disable the
scrollbar. Then the scrolled window will just pass on the list's size
and the window will extend to appropriately.
