VBox

open class VBox : Box, VBoxProtocol

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_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL instead when calling gtk_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_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL in your instance init function, with a call like:

(C Language Example):

  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.

The VBox type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying GtkVBox instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through VBoxProtocol conformance. Use VBox as a strong reference or owner of a GtkVBox instance.

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying `C` data type.

    This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the VBox instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkVBox>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the VBox instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafePointer<GtkVBox>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
