[Gtk-sharp-list] Requisitions

[Erik Pukinskis]

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is a coding mistake on my part or a bug in
gtk-sharp, but I am trying to get the "preferred" size of a widget, and
it doesn't seem to work.  The code in question is:

  Label label = new Label("foo");
  Gtk.Requisition requisition = new Gtk.Requisition();
  label.SizeRequest(requisition);
  Console.WriteLine("Requisition is: {0}x{1}", 
		     requisition.width, 
		     requisition.height);

It always returns 0x0, when it should get something like 18x14.  I also
tried getting label.WidthRequest and label.HeightRequest, but they both
return -1.  Similar code in C[1] seems to work OK.  Am I doing something
wrong?

Thanks,

Erik

  GtkWidget *label;
  label = gtk_label_new("foo");
  GtkRequisition requisition;
  gtk_widget_size_request (label, &requisition);
  g_print ("Requisition is: %dx%d", 
	    requisition.width, 
	    requisition.height);
