垂直和水平缩放Gtkmm小部件

Question

I am trying to make a Gtkmm::Entry bigger both vertically and horizontally so that in the end it would match the shape of a square. I wasn't able to find any documentation on this and would really appreciate if someone could help.

I have seen that it is possible to use the set size request method to give it a square shape however it is too small and the text written in it is illegible. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Answer 1

You could use a GtkTextView which supports resizing. TextEntries are typically not re-sizable.
