VBoxProtocol

public protocol VBoxProtocol : BoxProtocol

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 VBoxProtocol protocol exposes the methods and properties of an underlying GtkVBox instance. The default implementation of these can be found in the protocol extension below. For a concrete class that implements these methods and properties, see VBox. Alternatively, use VBoxRef as a lighweight, unowned reference if you already have an instance you just want to use.
