C++ toolbars questions

[Ben Sprinkle]

Anyone know why when starting a new tool bar, then you add your stuff, why the are so wide and spread apart? They are not like that im Gedit.
Anyone know how to fix? (This is gtkmm)

Anyone know how to get the typing text crsor to start in the text box instead of on a button?
(gtkmm)

I have managed to write a small gtkmm application once. I followed the tutorial for toolbars. It was quite easy, and the effect was also nice. I don't remember having any problems with the size of each item in the toolbar. They were a bit larger than in gedit, but what is wrong with this? I find this effect even nicer and user-friendlier.

I need it smaller because I have like 8 buttons and right now it over flows and has that little extension button which I hate.

Aha, I see. Maybe there is a way to "freeze" the length of the toolbar, something like a "isExpandable()" method?

[Ben Sprinkle]

I have checked the gtkmm api refrence and there is no such methods. :(

Hm... This is because by default widgets get larger, when more objects are inserted into them.
Interesting problem - let me think of it a few days, ok?
