HBox

GtkHBox is a container that organizes child widgets into a single row.

Use the GtkBox packing interface to determine the arrangement, spacing, width, and alignment of GtkHBox children.

All children are allocated the same height.

GtkHBox has been deprecated. You can use GtkBox instead, which is a very quick and easy change. If you have derived your own classes from GtkHBox, you can simply change the inheritance to derive directly from GtkBox. No further changes are needed, since the default value of the "orientation" property is GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL. If you don't need first-child or last-child styling, and want your code to be future-proof, the recommendation is to switch to GtkGrid instead of nested boxes. For more information about migrating to GtkGrid, see Migrating from other containers to GtkGrid

class HBox : Box {

protected

GtkHBox* gtkHBox;

GtkHBox* getHBoxStruct();

void* getStruct();

this(GtkHBox* gtkHBox);

void setStruct(GObject* obj);

this(int homogeneous, int spacing);

}

Constructors

this this(GtkHBox* gtkHBox): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class
this this(int homogeneous, int spacing): Warning gtk_hbox_new has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code. You can use gtk_box_new() with GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL instead, which is a quick and easy change. But the recommendation is to switch to GtkGrid, since GtkBox is going to go away eventually. See Migrating from other containers to GtkGrid. Creates a new GtkHBox.

Functions

getHBoxStruct GtkHBox* getHBoxStruct(): 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.

Inherited Members

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.
