[Gtk-sharp-list] HBox and Buttons

[Nick Peters]

Hey,

Thanks for the quick reply. Since my last post, i have actually 
downloaded the glade interface designer and have been having better luck 
getting the UI the way that i wanted. I'll keep playing and see what i 
can come up with. Thanks for the help again. I am sure that I'll have 
further questions in the future.
