Hi, how can i set “min-position” property for Gtk::HPaned? I couldn’t find syntax. I tried hpaned.set\_property(‘min-position’,100) but it wasn’t. ---

Ebru, In ruby, convert the dash to an underscore for any properties that are on a Gtk Object, in this case: min-position becomes min\_position. hth, Mario On Sun, Jan 27, 2013 at 5:07 PM, Ebru A. \< [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)\> wrote: > MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
