# Gtk\_HBox(3)

## NAME - Gtk\_HBox

horizontal box which can contain widgets and they're layouted tohorizontal row.

## HEADER REQUIRED

**#include \<gtk--/box.h&gt;\>**

## BASE CLASSES

[Gtk\_Box(3)](/Gtk_Box/3.md)

## DERIVED BY

[Gtk\_Combo(3)](/Gtk_Combo/3.md) [Gtk\_Statusbar(3)](/Gtk_Statusbar/3.md)

## DESCRIPTION

You should create these objects, but it is more confortable to pass around pointers of Gtk\_Box. All the methods that do anything are in Gtk\_Box class and this allows you to later change the direction of the box, when there's no dependencies to hbox and vbox classes.

See Gtk\_Box.

## PUBLIC MEMBER DESCRIPTIONS

- Gtk\_HBox::**Gtk\_HBox** (*bool homogeneous=false, gint spacing=0*);

  creates a new horizontal box.\
   The homogeneous argument to {class Gtk\_HBox}::Gtk\_HBox ' (and the same for Gtk\_VBox) controls whether each object  in the box has the same size (i.e. the same width in an hbox, or the same height in a vbox). If it is set, the expand argument to the gtk\_box\_pack routines is always turned on.

Spacing determines which \
