Problem

This example shows you how to set the initial column width for GtkSheet as shown below:

How to use GtkSheet - Part 15 - set column width?

Solution

Make sure your version of PHP-GTK2 has the GtkExtra library, and the feature turned on in php.ini. (See notes below.)
To set the column width, use the method GtkSheet::set_column_width($col, $width)

Important Note: This only works for PHP-GTK2 compliled with the additional library GtkExtra. For linux, you can download the files from http://gtkextra.sourceforge.net/ and do a recompile. For windows, you may use the builds by Elizabeth Smith or the official php-gtk2 beta release available at http://gtk.php.net/download.php. Both contain all the required gtkextra libraries and dll's. In the php.ini, don't forget to add php-gtk.extensions = php_gtk_extra2.dll to turn on GtkExtra.

<?php
$window = new GtkWindow();
$window->set_title($argv[0]);
$window->set_size_request(430, 250);
$window->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk','main_quit'));
$window->add($vbox = new GtkVBox());

// display title
$title = new GtkLabel("Using GtkSheet\n".
"Part 15 - Set Column Width");
$title->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription("Times New Roman Italic 10"));
$title->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse("#0000ff"));
$title->set_size_request(-1, 40);

Explanation

The example above is based on How to use GtkSheet - Part 9 - using attach with justification?

What's new here:

We use an array to hold the column width of each column./li>
Set the column width.

Note

As I've mentioned in the blog, there's some problem with this method.

Try pressing the Tab key. Did you see the underlying GtkItemEntry?

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug. Although I could find some ways to "gobble" up the Tab or arrow keys so that the GtkItemEntry doesn't appear, I know this should not be the right way of doing things.

Anybody knows how to "deactivate" the underlying GtkItemEntry?
