Question

Hello every one,

I am building a simple chat application under GTK+ and C,
In that i need to display List of contacts like follows.

1. Window Containing contact list with contacts Presence and status Icons and name.

+-----------------------------------------+
| [PresenceImage1] [Name1] [StatusImage1] |
| [PresenceImage2] [Name2] [StatusImage2] |
| [PresenceImage3] [Name3] [StatusImage3] |
+-----------------------------------------+

2. When user clicks on any of the contacts it will expand
and will display information/options with the list.

+-----------------------------------------+
| [PresenceImage1] [Name1] [StatusImage1] |
|  +------------------------------------+ |
|  |[ButtonCall]       [ButtonMoreInfo] | |
|  |[ContactImage]                      | |
|  +------------------------------------+ |

Is it possible in GTK?
