Struct gtk::Box[][src]

pub struct Box(_);
Expand description

The GtkBox widget arranges child widgets into a single row or column, depending upon the value of its property::Orientable::orientation property. Within the other dimension, all children are allocated the same size. Of course, the property::Widget::halign and property::Widget::valign properties can be used on the children to influence their allocation.

GtkBox uses a notion of packing. Packing refers to adding widgets with reference to a particular position in a Container. For a GtkBox, there are two reference positions: the start and the end of the box. For a vertical Box, the start is defined as the top of the box and the end is defined as the bottom. For a horizontal Box the start is defined as the left side and the end is defined as the right side.

Use repeated calls to BoxExt::pack_start() to pack widgets into a GtkBox from start to end. Use BoxExt::pack_end() to add widgets from end to start. You may intersperse these calls and add widgets from both ends of the same GtkBox.

Because GtkBox is a Container, you may also use ContainerExt::add() to insert widgets into the box, and they will be packed with the default values for expand and fill child properties. Use ContainerExt::remove() to remove widgets from the GtkBox.

Use BoxExt::set_homogeneous() to specify whether or not all children of the GtkBox are forced to get the same amount of space.

Use BoxExt::set_spacing() to determine how much space will be minimally placed between all children in the GtkBox. Note that spacing is added between the children, while padding added by BoxExt::pack_start() or BoxExt::pack_end() is added on either side of the widget it belongs to.

Use BoxExt::reorder_child() to move a GtkBox child to a different place in the box.

Use BoxExt::set_child_packing() to reset the expand, fill and padding child properties. Use BoxExt::query_child_packing() to query these fields.

CSS nodes

GtkBox uses a single CSS node with name box.

In horizontal orientation, the nodes of the children are always arranged from left to right. So :first-child will always select the leftmost child, regardless of text direction.
