Re: How can I get the size of a container ???

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

Use the Gtk::Widget::get_window method (call it from your label) to get
a Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>.  Then call the Gdk::Window::get_geometry
method to get the dimensions of your label.

See
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGdk_1_1Window.html#21f77b9b5019c6ab828bfeb943206ee2
for info on get_geometry.
