Class
GtkFlowBox
Description [src]
final class Gtk.FlowBox : Gtk.Widget
implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget, Gtk.Orientable {
/* No available fields */
}A GtkFlowBox puts child widgets in reflowing grid.
For instance, with the horizontal orientation, the widgets will be arranged from left to right, starting a new row under the previous row when necessary. Reducing the width in this case will require more rows, so a larger height will be requested.
Likewise, with the vertical orientation, the widgets will be arranged from top to bottom, starting a new column to the right when necessary. Reducing the height will require more columns, so a larger width will be requested.
The size request of a GtkFlowBox alone may not be what you expect;
if you need to be able to shrink it along both axes and dynamically
reflow its children, you may have to wrap it in a GtkScrolledWindow
to enable that.
The children of a GtkFlowBox can be dynamically sorted and filtered.
Although a GtkFlowBox must have only GtkFlowBoxChild children, you
can add any kind of widget to it via gtk_flow_box_insert(), and a
GtkFlowBoxChild widget will automatically be inserted between the box
and the widget.
Also see GtkListBox.

GtkFlowBox uses a single CSS node with name flowbox. GtkFlowBoxChild
uses a single CSS node with name flowboxchild. For rubberband selection,
a subnode with name rubberband is used.
Accessibility
GtkFlowBox uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GRID role, and GtkFlowBoxChild
uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GRID_CELL role.
Instance methods
gtk_flow_box_set_activate_on_single_click
If single is TRUE, children will be activated when you click
on them, otherwise you need to double-click.
gtk_flow_box_set_filter_func
By setting a filter function on the box one can decide dynamically
which of the children to show.
gtk_flow_box_set_homogeneous
Sets whether or not all children of box are given
equal space in the box.
gtk_flow_box_set_max_children_per_line
Sets the maximum number of children to request and
allocate space for in box’s orientation.
gtk_flow_box_set_min_children_per_line
Sets the minimum number of children to line up
in box’s orientation before flowing.
gtk_flow_box_set_sort_func
By setting a sort function on the box, one can dynamically
reorder the children of the box, based on the contents of
the children.
