hi all
i am using clist
gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy (GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW (ScrolledWindow), GTK_POLICY_NEVER, GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC);

i used this for scrollbar.
i am adding some data in to clist
but scrollbar is sometimes showing,
and some times not.
the scrollbar should be automatic.

is there any example for this.

how can i do this

please help me

thank you

GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC means that the scrollbar is only shown when it is needed. If you want it to always show, use GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS.

Also, are you using GTK+ 1.2? GtkCList is depreciated in GTK+ 2.0+ in favor of GtkTreeView.

If you are using AUTOMATIC, the scrollbar will hide itself when it is not needed and show itself when it is. However, if you are certain that it is not doing this at the correct time, you should try adding it with gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport(). It might just be a problem with the GtkCList widget. Although, unless you are using GTK+ 1.x, I would very much encourage you to use GtkTreeView. GtkCList is depreciated and if you ask anyone for help anywhere, that will be their response.
