Make sure GtkWindow fits all children

How do I make sure my GtkWindow fits all children?

As you can see, currently my GtkWindow can shrink to the point the children do not fit in it.

I have been browsing the documentation, but there doesn't even seem to be a way to hard-code the minimum size, let alone let it dynamically depend on the size of my children.

The UI is written in XML and loaded using GtkBuilder.

Hi, which is the widget hierarchy? You can set a minimum widget size with Gtk's Widget set_size_request function/method. – José Fonte
@JoséFonte I have a ApplicationWindow <- Stack <- Paned – Jeroen
Which language are you using? Did you use glade to design the UI? Check Gtk's Paned child widget shrink/resize flags. That's your solution/answer. – José Fonte
@JoséFonte Is there also a way to scale automatically? – Jeroen
it depends on what you mean with scale automatically. You want the entry boxes to grow if the container grows? The sidebar already expands so i think you meant the entries. Set Gtk EntryBox Horizontal expand flag as ON/TRUE. – José Fonte

As @JoséFonte pointed out in the comments, I had to disable shrinking for all children of my GtkPaned.

To achieve this I used Glade, and then for each child opened its properties, went to the packing tab, and disabled Shrink.
