Hi,
i am trying to make a widget, that serves as a view for other freely arrangable (draggable) widgets.
I achieve that with a widget that uses a GtkFixedLayout and resides inside a ScrolledWindow.
The problem that I am facing is that the Layout does not expand in a negative direction.
My current thought is, that I create a similar LayoutManager and if a widget is being moved outside in the “wrong” direction (top/ start), then it will grow and all other widgets will be moved in the opposing direction.
I hope I get across, what I am trying to do. I just wanted to know if this was an appropriate and doable approach, as I have not much experience with writing a LayoutManager.
I would appreciate feedback and possibly an alternate approach to this.
Feel free to ask counter questions.
