How do I set the size of GtKTextView? I think I can't use gtk_widget_set_usize.

  • Why do you think you can't use gtk_widget_set_usize? – shinkou May 14 '10 at 01:43
  • Sorry, I received an error at compile phase, but now it works! However gtk_widget_set_usize has been deprecated, so I used gtk_widget_set_size_request. For the maximum length? – stdio May 14 '10 at 02:09

You cannot control size of a widget directly, instead this is done by its container. You can force a minimum size by using gtk_widget_set_size_request(), it will be respected by all standard containers. There is no similar way to set maximum size in the same way, this totally depends on the container.
