Checkbutton alignment

[jayro]

Hi folks,

I got a checkbutton with a large label which is being wrapped into a few lines.
Due to the height of the label, the checkbutton aligns vertically ending up set on the center of its space.

Is there a way I can set the vertical alignment of the checkbutton so it remains in the top of its space if its label is too big (has many lines)?


Thanks in advance,

Jay

Can you tell us what package you're using? (ie, wxPython, Tkinter, etc...)
Also a very concise example would help us to see what it is that you're having trouble with.

Hi,

oops, sorry.. I forgot to say which toolkit I am using.

It is pyGTK.

Thanks,

Here's an example.
As you can see when you run the code, the checkbutton stays aligned vertically to the center of its space.
Can anyone help? thanks

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pygtk
pygtk.require(' 2.0')
import gtk

class Base:

def __init__(self):

self.window = gtk.Window(gtk. WINDOW_TOPLEVEL )

self.window.sho w()

self.checkbox = gtk.CheckButton ("lalalaaskjans najksansjkasnjk ansajksnajksnaj nsajknsjkasna\n ajnsajksnaksnan jksajksnas\njka bnsjkansjkanas\ najibsajksa")

self.window.add (self.checkbox)

self.checkbox.s how()

def main(self):

gtk.main()

if __name__ == "__main__":

base = Base()

base.main()
