Re: How can I scale widget smaller ?

[Maggio Mago <dev maggio gmail com>]

Thank you Francis,

It's really friendly to use.

I would like to go further. Maybe is it possible to customize the logic of shortening and truncation ?

Example : "Document : 1" could become "Doc. 1" or "Docu. 1" "Docume. 1"

I looked in the code, but I got lost from
pango_renderer_draw_layout() in https://git.gnome.org/browse/pango/tree/pango/pango-renderer.c and his friend https://git.gnome.org/browse/pango/tree/pango/pango-layout.c

Although I used >grep I can not find cases for the reference "..."

Do you know how I can do this?

try this create your buttons empty and use add to ad a label set the
label ellisize mode to one of

ELLIPSIZE_START
ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE
ELLIPSIZE_END

using Gtk::Label::set_ellipsize     (     Pango::EllipsizeMode
mode    )

or you could burrow into your button to get it's label using
Gtk::Widget* Gtk::Bin::get_child     (         )

which buttons inherit from Gtk::Bin but the immediate child may not be
the label it could be a Gtk::Box to hold the label and an image so you'd
need to test with dynamic_cast<Gtk::Label*>(yourbutton->get_child()) etc
