[Java-gnome-developer] GtkTable x BorderLayout

[Fernando L. <fer...@lo...>]

Hi there!

First let me say that java-gnome binding rocks! Apps are much faster and 
are not more diffcult to build than using Swing. Thanks a lot.

Now to the problems: after many tries, reading the sources, mailing list 
archieves and GTK+ docs, I cannot emulate the BorderLayout from Java. 
Let me say I am a newbie GTK+ developer, so please forgive me if this is 
a basic question.

I tried to use a 3 x 2 (rows x cols) Table where only the middle cell 
will expand to the size of the container, all other cells shoud stay at 
their minimun or prefered sizes. But whatever I try I get cells larger 
than needed. Being more specific, using (left, right, top, botton):

At (0,2,0,1) I have an HBox with entry fields and combo boxes
At (0,1,1,2) I have an VBox to mimic with many buttons
At (0,2,2,3) I have an HBox with some labels
At (1,2,1,2) I have a list box (inside an scrooled window)

Everything shoud be at the minimun size except for the list box I wish 
to take all space avaibale. But I allways get the VBox much larger than 
needed for his buttons.

Tanks for any help, and thanks in advance.
