[Gtk-sharp-list] How does one set the size of a window before displaying it?

[Fredrik Nilsson]

Hi Kevin,

Looks like you mix creating a window on your own and using glade.

public class MainWindow : Gnome.App
{
    private Gnome.Program program;

    public MainWindow(Gnome.Program program)
    {
      this.program = program;
      Glade.XML gMain = new Glade.XML("transference.glade",
                      "MainWindow",
                      null);
      gMain.Autoconnect(this);
      this.SetSizeRequest(500, 500);
    }
}

When you override Gnome.App you create a window by your own, and when
you ShowAll () that window is displayed, NOT the window from the glade
file.

Your code should look something like:

public class MainWindow
{
    [Widget] Gtk.Window Main_Window; // Connects to Main_Window in glade

    private Gnome.Program program;

    public MainWindow(Gnome.Program program)
    {
      this.program = program;
      Glade.XML gMain = new Glade.XML("transference.glade",
                      "Main_Window",
                      null);
      gMain.Autoconnect(this);
      Main_Window.Resize (500, 500); // Resize Main_Window from glade
    }
}

You also need to rename the MainWindow in glade to something else like
Main_Window, it conflicts whith the classname.

Hope that helps.

/Fredrik
