[Gtk-sharp-list] GTK# questions (part 1)

[Piotr Zurek]

Hi guys,

I've started playing with GTK# and development at all a few weeks ago
and now I came across a few problems that I can't overcome myself. So
far I have used the Mono documentation and hours of fiddling around,
but I am slowly running out of patience and I decided to ask You for
help and advice. OK, here are my questions. I would really appreciate
your help.

Custom menu/toolbar/button icon images.
Should the image be in a specific format? I have 64x64 svg and png and
I get a button with an empty place holder. My code looks like:

SubButton.IconWidget = new Image ("sub.png");

sub.png is of course added in Resources (MonoDevelop).

RadioToolButton and Group
I just can't get it working. I need it to get two buttons that fill
the box below with a different view of the data. I just can't find a
working example (apart from UImanager which I wouldn't like to use at
that stage).

Two state toggle button
By two state I mean that is looks different (different icon) when it's
up or down. I want to use it as an "expand" button with an arrow
pointing one side when it's up and the other side when it's down.

Font Chooser SpinBox
Once again I can't find a working example of a SpinBox used as a Font Chooser.

Font Size SpinBox
How to get the SpinBox displaying the values in different intervals?
Some kind of predefined list?

Hide Paned widget
Is it possible to hide one "side" of a HPaned widget and show it when
a button is pressed? Is there other, preferred way of doing that? I
can imagine I could do it by packing my widgets in different
containers for different views but hiding seems most intuitive for me.
