37 * @Short_description: A horizontal container box
41 * #GtkHBox is a container that organizes child widgets into a single row.
43 * Use the #GtkBox packing interface to determine the arrangement,
44 * spacing, width, and alignment of #GtkHBox children.
46 * All children are allocated the same height.
48 * GtkHBox has been deprecated. You can use #GtkBox instead, which is a
49 * very quick and easy change. If you have derived your own classes from
50 * GtkHBox, you can simply change the inheritance to derive directly
51 * from #GtkBox. No further changes are needed, since the default
52 * value of the #GtkOrientable:orientation property is
53 * %GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL.
54 * If you want your code to be future-proof, the recommendation is to
55 * switch to #GtkGrid, since #GtkBox is going to be deprecated in favor
56 * of the more flexible grid widget eventually. For more information
57 * about migrating to #GtkGrid, see <xref linkend="gtk-migrating-GtkGrid"/>

80 * @spacing: the number of pixels to place by default between children.
82 * Creates a new #GtkHBox.
84 * Returns: a new #GtkHBox.
86 * Deprecated: 3.2: You can use gtk_box_new() with %GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL instead,
87 * which is a quick and easy change. But the recommendation is to switch to
88 * #GtkGrid, since #GtkBox is going to go away eventually.
