Pygtk, treeview problem in the layout

micmast

Ey all,

I'm currently working on an application that uses the pygtk libraries to create windows and widgets. I have a HBOX (2 boxes) in the middle and in the left one I have a treeview, in the right the rest (drawingarea, entries, labels, notebooks, ...). But, as usual, the big hbox is divided exactly in the middle and I was wondering if it is possible to make sure that the left hbox doesn't use more then an amount of pixels. I tried looking at the treeview column to limit the width, with no result. I tried settings the width of the hbox, no result.
I tried creating a layout and put my treeview widget on that, with a fixed height & width, also no result...

So I just don't know anymore, any help would be nice.

Thx in advance

ey all,

I found a possible solution, and I figured I might share it with the rest, somebody might need it in the future.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ...
  2. self.screen_with = gtk.gdk.screen_width()
  3. self.treeview = gtk.TreeView(self.treestore)
  4. self.treecolumn = gtk.TreeViewColumn("Assets")
  5. self.treecolumn.set_sizing(gtk.TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED)
  6. self.treecolumn.set_resizable(True)
  7. self.treecolumn.set_fixed_width(self.screen_width / 5)
  8. self.treeview.append_column(self.treecolumn)
  9. ...
  10.  
Afterwards I add the treeview to a hbox, and now the width is fixed, but when I maximize the application, the treeview failes to update the screen. This might be a windows bug, but could also be a problem in general... If somebody has any ideas, fire away :)

Hi list, I am quite new to Python and try to learn Python with a small pygtk program. I am facing a problem which I am unable to solve for myself. I think I have read the documentation and some samples, but however I cannot find my mistake, so hopefully someone can help me with a short hint. This is a small sample application which demonstrates my problem: import gtk as g

Hi all, I'm building a PyGTK interface in which I would like that no widget would be able to get the focus (and so to be activated by pressing the Return key). For this purpose, for each widget, I do: widget.set_property("can-focus", gtk.FALSE) My problem is a TreeView which has a clickable column, it get the default focus and I did not find how to forbid that.

Hi all... I think wxPython is much better than PyGTK. First of all, PyGTK needs the GTK runtime installed, whereas wxPython is entirely Python's modules, so It facilitates the apps' distribution. Also, PyGTK uses specific controls or widgets of GTK, while wxPython uses native controls of the platform where the app is running. I'm learning both, but at a slow step, so I want to know all the comments about this subject in this group.

I tried to create a windows executable of a pygtk program. My first attempt worked, kinda, except that no themes were applied and no readable fonts were found by pango; so all letters where just empty squares. But the program worked. I looked up some docs, found the following recipe on the PyGTK Wiki site: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2exeAndPyGTK I followed those instructions to convert my setup.py file;...

Good morning. I have recently begun a project using PyGTK, and part of my planned interface has a gtk.TreeView showing a portion of the filesystem. Now, rather than load the entire FS structure into the tree right from the beginning, I made a lazy tree by adding blank children to rows representing directories, and connected a call to fill in the data when a row with blank children was expanded. Now, this works all fine and well, in...

Hi, I am just testing pygtk/glade out and wonder, if I am able to change the keybindings. E.g. the treeview searches by default for the entries beginning with the typed keystroke; moving to the next row works as usual with the Down key. Now I would like to change the key bindings to e.g. 'j' to move to the next row (just like in vim) and to use a 'Ctrl' key combination to search for a certain word beginning with the typed key stroke.
