## Detailed Description

Horizontal Box for laying widgets in a horizontal row.

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 class Gtk::Box and this allows you to later change the direction of the box, when there's no dependencies to HBox and VBox classes.

Use the Gtk::Box packing interface to determine the arrangement, spacing, width, and alignment of Gtk::HBox children.

All children are allocated the same height.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::HBox::~HBox | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::HBox::HBox | ( | bool | homogeneous = `false`,
|  | int | spacing = `0`
| ) |  | `[explicit]`

Creates a new horizontal box.

Parameters:

  homogeneous | Whether each widget in the HBox should have the same width. If set, a PACK_SHRINK argument to pack_start() or pack_end() is ignored.
  spacing | Determines the space in pixels between child widgets.
