Dear all Sorry to ask this, I know I can find some of answers in doc if I dig deeper But I’m tight on schedule, So please reply if you are willing to 1. How to change font size in label and entry widget ? 2. How to differentiate color in treeview row (odd grey, even white or vice versa) ? 3. How to make anything typed on entry become uppercase ? 4. How to right align column in treeview? also center-align? I’m making a POS program and it’s been partially implemented (at my own store) that’s why I need this fast Regards, Hendra ---

How to change font size in label and entry widget ? it’s easy enough to implement a file chooser dialog where you can choose the font and size… [http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/de/hiki.cgi?Gtk::FontSelectionDialog](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/de/hiki.cgi?Gtk::FontSelectionDialog) and a color selection dialog… [http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/it/hiki.cgi?Gtk::ColorSelectionDialog](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/it/hiki.cgi?Gtk::ColorSelectionDialog) …and then use them in your pango markup… for example: def fontSelect d = Gtk::FontSelectionDialog.new d.set\_font\_name(@font) if @font != nil response = d.run if response == Gtk::Dialog::RESPONSE\_OK @font = d.font\_name # fontdesc = Pango::FontDescription.new(@font) # @fontBtn.modify\_font(fontdesc) # @fontBtn.set\_label(@font) # these are specific to my app end d.destroy end #fontSelect def fontColorSelect d = Gtk::ColorSelectionDialog.new sel = d.colorsel # sel.set\_previous\_color(@fC) # sel.set\_current\_color(@fC) sel.set\_has\_palette(true) response = d.run if response == Gtk::Dialog::RESPONSE\_OK @fR = sel.current\_color.red @fG = sel.current\_color.green @fB = sel.current\_color.blue @fC = Gdk::Color.new(@fR, @fG, @fB) @fColor = @fC.to\_s @fcsample.modify\_bg(Gtk::STATE\_NORMAL, @fC) end d.destroy end #fontColorSelect ## and then later… info = “blargh” @infoTxt.set\_markup(%Q[#{info}]) > 1.

Dear all, Thanks for replying Those markup are good. But I thing that’s only applicable to label (or am I missing something here?) How about font size for entry? Thanks for number 3 I would like to convert each letter when it is typed I’m checking all your suggestion now Thanks ---

hi hendra - > How about font size for entry? Thanks a quick look at “Gtk::Entry.instance\_methods” shows me a #modify\_font method… not sure, but this would probably look something like Gtk::Entry#modify\_font(Gtk::STATE\_NORMAL,##myfont##) where ##myfont## is a font\_description with family and size specified (all simplified with the FontSelectionDialog…) as for number 3, why do you need to convert while typing? do you have background processes running based on each letter? you can convert it to uppercase with a simple String#upcase immediately after entering it… good luck - -j ---

Thanks It will run on windows right? I make the code on ubuntu but must deploy on windows as for number 3, this is a matter of taste my old version using delphi behave like that so users want it that way 🙂 and no, that entry don’t process any other thing also for treeview cell coloring I already use rules hint. on linux it gives me grid, but it doesn’t show on windows. I wonder why. Other suggestion? on treeview column right-alignment, anyone care to give example? right now I really appreciate anything I can copy paste 😃 Thanks guys ---
