See Also: HBox Members
Other ways of laying out widgets include using a vertical box, (see Gtk.VBox), a table, (see Gtk.Table), button boxes, etc.
Useful methods for manipulating boxes can be found in the superclass for HBox, Gtk.Box.
C# Example
using System; using Gtk; class HBoxTester { static void Main () { Application.Init (); Window myWindow = new Window ("HBox Widget"); HBox myBox = new HBox (false, 4); //Add some buttons to the horizontal box AddButton (myBox); AddButton (myBox); //Add the box to a Window container myWindow.Add (myBox); myWindow.ShowAll (); Application.Run (); } static void AddButton (HBox box) { box.PackStart (new Button ("Button"), true, false, 0); } }
Visual Basic .NET Example
Imports System Imports Gtk Class HBoxTester Shared Sub Main () Application.Init () Dim myWindow As New Window ("HBox Widget") Dim myBox As New HBox (False, 0) ' Add the box to a Window container myWindow.Add (myBox) myWindow.SetDefaultSize (250, 40) ' Add some buttons to the box HBoxTester.AddButton (myBox) HBoxTester.AddButton (myBox) HBoxTester.AddButton (myBox) myWindow.ShowAll () Application.Run () End Sub Shared Sub AddButton (ByVal box As HBox) box.PackStart (New Button ("Button"), True, False, 0) End Sub End Class
