Class

GtkCenterBox

Description [src]

final class Gtk.CenterBox : Gtk.Widget
  implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget, Gtk.Orientable {
  /* No available fields */
}

GtkCenterBox arranges three children in a row, keeping the middle child centered as well as possible.

An example GtkCenterBox

To add children to GtkCenterBox, use gtk_center_box_set_start_widget(), gtk_center_box_set_center_widget() and gtk_center_box_set_end_widget().

The sizing and positioning of children can be influenced with the align and expand properties of the children.

GtkCenterBox as GtkBuildable

The GtkCenterBox implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing children in the 3 positions by specifying “start”, “center” or “end” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element.

CSS nodes

GtkCenterBox uses a single CSS node with the name “box”,

The first child of the GtkCenterBox will be allocated depending on the text direction, i.e. in left-to-right layouts it will be allocated on the left and in right-to-left layouts on the right.

In vertical orientation, the nodes of the children are arranged from top to bottom.

Accessibility

Until GTK 4.10, GtkCenterBox used the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GROUP role.

Starting from GTK 4.12, GtkCenterBox uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GENERIC role.
