[Gtk-sharp-list] ScrolledWindow and Label doesn't work

[Peter Johanson]

Agro,

Change your line to:

sw.AddWithViewPort(lbl);

and it *should* work. Gtk.Label itself does not support scrolling, so by
calling AddWithViewPort, this adds the Gtk.Label inside of a
Gtk.Viewport and then adds the Viewport to the ScrolledWindow. The
Viewport widget then handles the scrolling functionality for the
contained widget.
