Re: Making a custom widget scrollable

[Mike Polan <kanadakid gmail com>]

I still couldn't get my widget to become scrollable, even with your suggestions, so I Googled around a bit more and came upon a solution. Someone mentioned that I should add a call to set_size_request() after I finish drawing the widget, with the proper measurements. I tried that out, and now Gtk::ScrolledWindow (and others) works nicely with my widget.

 

Thanks for your time!
