PHP-GTK Manual - GtkVBox Constructor

GtkVBox Constructor

GtkVBox ([bool homogeneous = false , [int spacing = 0 ]]);

Creates a new vertical box container designed for packing a single column of child widgets.

The first parameter, homogeneous, is a boolean value which, if set to true, will set each child widget in the GtkVBox to the same height as that of the largest child widget. The second parameter, spacing, sets the minimum spacing between the child widgets, in pixels. Leaving both parameters empty, e.g.

$vbox = &new GtkVBox();

will set the default behaviour of individual sizing and zero spacing.

Example 53. Packing child widgets using GtkVBox and GtkHBox

<?php

$window = &new GtkWindow();
$window->set_title("GtkHBox and GtkVBox packing demonstration");
$window->set_position(GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
$window->connect_object("destroy", array("gtk", 
"main_quit"));
$window->show();

$vbox = &new GtkVBox(false, 5);
$window->add($vbox);

$label = &new GtkLabel();
$label->set_text("This GtkLabel is packed at the start of a GtkVBox. 
The GtkCalendar below is\npacked at the start of a GtkHBox, which is in turn 
packed at the end of the\nGtkVBox. The empty GtkText widget is packed at the 
end of the GtkHBox.");
$label->set_justify(GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT);
$vbox->pack_start($label, true, true, 5);
$label->show();

$hbox = &new GtkHBox(true, 0);
$vbox->pack_end($hbox);

$calendar = &new GtkCalendar();
$hbox->pack_start($calendar, true, true, 2);
$calendar->show();

$text = &new GtkText();
$text->set_editable(true);
$hbox->pack_end($text, true, true, 2);
$text->show();

$window->show_all();

gtk::main();
