Re: Howto correctly generate "expandable void"?

[James Scott Jr <skoona verizon net>]

Till,

I have not tested this yet, but I can give you an ideal of what I would
try first.

Window
-vbox
-- vbutton_box(a,b,c) -- postioned using start
-- vbutton_box(x,y,z) -- postioned using end

Here is the code.

***BEGIN
/* Button Alignment */


#include <gtk/gtk.h>


int main(int argc, char *argv[] )
{
  GtkWidget   *window   = NULL;
  GtkWidget   *vbox     = NULL;
  GtkWidget   *button   = NULL;
  GtkWidget   *bbox    = NULL;
  
  gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

  /* create window, etc */
  window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "expandable void");
  gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 5);
  g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
           G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);            
  
 /*
  * Create the main vbox
  */
  vbox = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 5);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), vbox);

  
  /*
   * Create the Top Group of buttons
   */
  bbox = gtk_vbutton_box_new ();
  gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), 5);    
  gtk_button_box_set_layout (GTK_BUTTON_BOX (bbox),
GTK_BUTTONBOX_START);
  gtk_box_set_spacing (GTK_BOX (bbox), 6);
  gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), bbox, TRUE, TRUE, 5);  
  
  
  button = gtk_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_OK);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), button);
  
  button = gtk_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_CANCEL);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), button);
  
  button = gtk_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_HELP);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), button);

  /*
   * Create the Bottom Group of buttons
   */
  bbox = gtk_vbutton_box_new ();
  gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), 5);    
  gtk_button_box_set_layout (GTK_BUTTON_BOX (bbox), GTK_BUTTONBOX_END);
  gtk_box_set_spacing (GTK_BOX (bbox), 6);
  gtk_box_pack_end (GTK_BOX (vbox), bbox, TRUE, TRUE, 5);  
  
  
  button = gtk_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_OK);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), button);
  
  button = gtk_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_CANCEL);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), button);
  
  button = gtk_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_HELP);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (bbox), button);
  
  
  
  gtk_widget_show_all (window);

  gtk_main();

  return 0;
}

***END
