- Hello. I have a drawing area widget parented by a scrollable window (automatic)
- but I need to update a list of horizontal and vertical "cell" numbers which
- don't scroll off the area and that are displayed above and to the left of the
- drawing area - similar in manner to a spreadsheet, where the numbers are
- always visible. I've tried several permutations with application defined
- scrolled windows and frames, but to no avail. What is the best way to
- accomplish this behavior? I want the numbers to scroll with the drawing
- area, but remain visible.
-
- Another question: I need to set the maximum size of the appshell to the
- size that it would be if a scrolled window (automatic, with as_needed
- scrollbars) was sized to fit the drawing area child exactly. I can't
- set the scrolled window (or drawing area) maximum size until after the
- app is running, and forcing the scrolled window widget to the same size
- as the drawing area doesn't seem to work. How can I do this?
-
- Thanks in advance!
