Re: Gtk2::Dialog window size

Try with this:

$dialog->set_default_size ($width, $height); # or
#$dialog->set_default_size (700, 400);

I, personally, would also make the window non-resizable as well.

set_default_size needs sizes in pixels. I had tried $dialog->set_size_request(500,-1), which worked, sort of. I know the size of my title in characters, but I don't know the width of the font used, so I can only guess at the required width in pixels, hence the 500. If my title is e.g. "No, whatever" I need something that will tell me how many pixels is equivalent to length("No, whatever").	[reply]

its simple, create a "label" widget using the same "system" font with the sane font size as used for the title, let the size be automatic, then "get" the dimensions of the "label" kinda like this Re^3: Query the height of Tk::Text widget with word wrap, Re^7: Query the height of Tk::Text widget with word wrap	[reply]
