VBox

A #GtkVBox is a container that organizes child widgets into a single column.

Use the #GtkBox packing interface to determine the arrangement, spacing, height, and alignment of #GtkVBox children.

All children are allocated the same width.

GtkVBox has been deprecated. You can use #GtkBox with a #GtkOrientable:orientation set to gtk.types.Orientation.Vertical instead when calling gtk.box.Box.new_, which is a very quick and easy change.

If you have derived your own classes from GtkVBox, you can change the inheritance to derive directly from #GtkBox, and set the #GtkOrientable:orientation property to gtk.types.Orientation.Vertical in your instance init function, with a call like:

gtk_orientable_set_orientation (GTK_ORIENTABLE (object),
                                GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

If you have a grid-like layout composed of nested boxes, and you don’t need first-child or last-child styling, the recommendation is to switch to #GtkGrid. For more information about migrating to #GtkGrid, see [Migrating from other containers to GtkGrid][gtk-migrating-GtkGrid].

From Box

_getGType GType _getGType()
_gType GType _gType [@property getter]
self Box self(): Returns this, for use in with statements.
builder BoxGidBuilder builder(): Get builder for gtk.box.Box

baselinePosition gtk.types.BaselinePosition baselinePosition [@property setter]
homogeneous bool homogeneous [@property getter]
homogeneous bool homogeneous [@property setter]
spacing int spacing [@property getter]

getBaselinePosition gtk.types.BaselinePosition getBaselinePosition(): Gets the value set by gtk.box.Box.setBaselinePosition.
getCenterWidget gtk.widget.Widget getCenterWidget(): Retrieves the center widget of the box.
getHomogeneous bool getHomogeneous(): Returns whether the box is homogeneous (all children are the same size). See gtk.box.Box.setHomogeneous.
getSpacing int getSpacing(): Gets the value set by gtk.box.Box.setSpacing.
packEnd void packEnd(gtk.widget.Widget child, bool expand, bool 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.
packStart void packStart(gtk.widget.Widget child, bool expand, bool 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.
queryChildPacking void queryChildPacking(gtk.widget.Widget child, bool expand, bool fill, uint padding, gtk.types.PackType packType): Obtains information about how child is packed into box.
reorderChild void reorderChild(gtk.widget.Widget child, int position): Moves child to a new position in the list of box children. The list contains widgets packed #GTK_PACK_START as well as widgets packed #GTK_PACK_END, in the order that these widgets were added to box.
setBaselinePosition void setBaselinePosition(gtk.types.BaselinePosition 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 available than requested, and the baseline is not allocated by the parent then position is used to allocate the baseline wrt the extra space available.
setCenterWidget void setCenterWidget(gtk.widget.Widget widget): Sets a center widget; that is a child widget that will be centered with respect to the full width of the box, even if the children at either side take up different amounts of space.
setChildPacking void setChildPacking(gtk.widget.Widget child, bool expand, bool fill, uint padding, gtk.types.PackType packType): Sets the way child is packed into box.
setHomogeneous void setHomogeneous(bool homogeneous): Sets the #GtkBox:homogeneous property of box, controlling whether or not all children of box are given equal space in the box.
setSpacing void setSpacing(int spacing): Sets the #GtkBox:spacing property of box, which is the number of pixels to place between children of box.
