GtkTreeView and other scrolling widgets such as GtkIconView are meant to be placed directly in a GtkScrolledWindow. Not doing so will, for example, break scroll commands given by GtkTreeView itself, since it is not directly connected to the GtkScrolledWindow anymore. Such scroll commands are given when you are setting a cursor on a row and want to make that row visible, automatic scrolling during drag selection, or by the application programmer using the gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell() and related functions, etc. Another reason why this is a bad idea is memory usage, although I cannot tell for sure whether this still holds for GTK+ 2.18 and later. For earlier versions of GTK+ a large X window has to be allocated if you are placing a GtkTreeView with a large number of rows in a VBox or similar container. regards, -kris. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
