ButtonBox

A button box should be used to provide a consistent layout of buttons throughout your application. The layout/spacing can be altered by the programmer, or if desired, by the user to alter the 'feel' of a program to a small degree.

gtk_button_box_get_layout() and gtk_button_box_set_layout() retrieve and alter the method used to spread the buttons in a button box across the container, respectively.

The main purpose of GtkButtonBox is to make sure the children have all the same size. GtkButtonBox gives all children the same size, but it does allow 'outliers' to keep their own larger size. To force all children to be strictly the same size without exceptions, you can set the "homogeneous" property to TRUE.

To excempt individual children from homogeneous sizing regardless of their 'outlier' status, you can set the "non-homogeneous" child property.

class ButtonBox : Box {

GtkButtonBox* gtkButtonBox;

GtkButtonBox* getButtonBoxStruct();

void* getStruct();

void setStruct(GObject* obj);

static ButtonBox createActionBox(void delegate(Button) onClicked, StockID[] stocks, string[] actions, bool vertical);

this(GtkOrientation orientation);

GtkButtonBoxStyle getLayout();

int getChildSecondary(Widget child);

int getChildNonHomogeneous(Widget child);

void setLayout(GtkButtonBoxStyle layoutStyle);

void setChildSecondary(Widget child, int isSecondary);

void setChildNonHomogeneous(Widget child, int nonHomogeneous);

}

Constructors

this this(GtkButtonBox* gtkButtonBox): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class
this this(GtkOrientation orientation): Creates a new GtkButtonBox.

Functions

getButtonBoxStruct GtkButtonBox* getButtonBoxStruct(): Get the main Gtk struct
getChildNonHomogeneous int getChildNonHomogeneous(Widget child): Returns whether the child is exempted from homogenous sizing.
getChildSecondary int getChildSecondary(Widget child): Returns whether child should appear in a secondary group of children. Since 2.4
getLayout GtkButtonBoxStyle getLayout(): Retrieves the method being used to arrange the buttons in a button box.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
setChildNonHomogeneous void setChildNonHomogeneous(Widget child, int nonHomogeneous): Sets whether the child is exempted from homogeous sizing.
setChildSecondary void setChildSecondary(Widget child, int isSecondary): Sets whether child should appear in a secondary group of children. A typical use of a secondary child is the help button in a dialog. This group appears after the other children if the style is GTK_BUTTONBOX_START, GTK_BUTTONBOX_SPREAD or GTK_BUTTONBOX_EDGE, and before the other children if the style is GTK_BUTTONBOX_END. For horizontal button boxes, the definition of before/after depends on direction of the widget (see gtk_widget_set_direction()). If the style is GTK_BUTTONBOX_START or GTK_BUTTONBOX_END, then the secondary children are aligned at the other end of the button box from the main children. For the other styles, they appear immediately next to the main children.
setLayout void setLayout(GtkButtonBoxStyle layoutStyle): Changes the way buttons are arranged in their container.
setStruct void setStruct(GObject* obj): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.

Static functions

From Box

gtkBox GtkBox* gtkBox;: the main Gtk struct
getBoxStruct GtkBox* getBoxStruct(): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
setStruct void setStruct(GObject* obj): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
__anonymous mixin OrientableT!(GtkBox): Undocumented in source.
packStart void packStart(Widget child, int expand, int fill, uint padding): Adds child to box, packed with reference to the start of box. The child is packed after any other child packed with reference to the start of box.
packEnd void packEnd(Widget child, int expand, int fill, uint padding): Adds child to box, packed with reference to the end of box. The child is packed after (away from end of) any other child packed with reference to the end of box.
getHomogeneous int getHomogeneous(): Returns whether the box is homogeneous (all children are the same size). See gtk_box_set_homogeneous().
setHomogeneous void setHomogeneous(int homogeneous): Sets the "homogeneous" property of box, controlling whether or not all children of box are given equal space in the box.
getSpacing int getSpacing(): Gets the value set by gtk_box_set_spacing().
setSpacing void setSpacing(int spacing): Sets the "spacing" property of box, which is the number of pixels to place between children of box.
reorderChild void reorderChild(Widget child, int position): Moves child to a new position in the list of box children. The list is the children field of GtkBox, and contains both widgets packed GTK_PACK_START as well as widgets packed GTK_PACK_END, in the order that these widgets were added to box. A widget's position in the box children list determines where the widget is packed into box. A child widget at some position in the list will be packed just after all other widgets of the same packing type that appear earlier in the list.
queryChildPacking void queryChildPacking(Widget child, int expand, int fill, uint padding, GtkPackType packType): Obtains information about how child is packed into box.
setChildPacking void setChildPacking(Widget child, int expand, int fill, uint padding, GtkPackType packType): Sets the way child is packed into box.
getBaselinePosition GtkBaselinePosition getBaselinePosition(): Gets the value set by gtk_box_set_baseline_position().
setBaselinePosition void setBaselinePosition(GtkBaselinePosition position): Sets the baseline position of a box. This affects only horizontal boxes with at least one baseline aligned child. If there is more vertical space availible than requested, and the baseline is not allocated by the parent then position is used to allocate the baseline wrt the extra space available.
