Thanks Nate, I was actually using the same technique and as I'm a new bee to GTK, thought there could be some elegant way to do this. Thanks for taking the pain to explain me.

GtkEntry has a function to limit the number of characters allowed, but editable cells don't seem to have this. As a cheap hack, however, you could attach a function to the "edited" signal (or whatever it's name is) of the cell, and then count the number of characters. If it's over 4, you could just trim it down, or display an error, etc.. Not quite as nice, but I don't see a function to do it otherwise. (Of course, I could be wrong) Hope that helps! -Nate > Hi Folks, > > Can anybody pl. help me of how to limit the number of characters that > can > be entered in an editable cell of List Store.
