Gtk scroll window size in grid

Question

Experimenting with gtk + 3 in python.

Trying to add "Gtk.TreeView" inside the scroll box container to the grid window along with the input field. The problem is that the scroll pane is tiny, and as a result, you can barely see any scroll pane / TreeView. Here is the output image:

Relevant Code:

scroll = Gtk.ScrolledWindow() # Create scroll window scroll.add(self.MatchTree) # Adds the TreeView to the scroll container grid = Gtk.Grid() # Create grid container self.add(Grid) # Add grid to window (self) Grid.add(scroll) # Add scroll window to grid Grid.attach_next_to(self.Entry, scroll, Gtk.PositionType.BOTTOM, 1, 1) # Attach entry to bottom of grid. 

So how do you control the size of the scroll pane?

Cheers, Phil

What you need to do is set the hexpand and vexpand in GtkScrolledWindow to True . You can do this when creating the object as follows:

 scroll = Gtk.ScrolledWindow(hexpand=True, vexpand=True) 

If you agree with this, I recommend that you use Glade to work with your program interface, it greatly simplifies the work of such problems, since you have easy access to all widgets.
