Hi i want to make a window like this [http://screencloud.net/v/axr9](http://screencloud.net/v/axr9) . I  
assured triple sections. Sections size can resizable. However also i  
want to sections have limit size for shrinking (minimum size). How can i  
assure limit size? I used Hpaned for triple sections. And I used  
scrolledWindow for textView and other view

Hello Ebru,

To have a Paned widget limited to a certain size, use  
Paned#min\_position,  
and Paned#max\_position to set any minimal, and maximum positions that a  
paned window should be able to re-size to by the user.

hth,

Mario

But i think Paned#min\_position for all Paned. For example i added  
swin1 = Gtk::ScrolledWindow.new  
swin2 = Gtk::ScrolledWindow.new  
hpaned.pack1(swin1,true,true)  
hpaned.pack2(swin2,true,true)  
and i want to set minimum size for each paned (pack1,pack2). Actually i  
asked this one.
