That sounds great. I was planning on adding my solution below to gtk- server and send that to you once I had released a first version of my app but your suggestion is even better. >> I still think gtk-server providing a pointer to a function for handling >> the decimals would be the best solution, something like: >> >> > gtk_server_decimals_cell_data_func 2 >> 1098432 >> > gtk_tree_view_column_set_data_func col renderer 1098432 NULL NULL >> ok >> >> Where the argument to gtk_server_decimals_cell_data_func is the amount >> of decimals you want to display.

Yes, that's a downside as I mentioned before :-) Still, wanting control over the amount of decimals should be one of the most (of not the most) common cases. You'll hear back from me later, but it might take a week or two! Erik
