gtk-sharp 2.6.0.0 Gtk# is thread aware, but not thread safe; See the Gtk# Thread Programming for details. A Box is a Gtk container that holds an arbitrary number of widgets. This means its sole purpose is to provide layout, size and spacing for other widgets. A Box is a rectangular area organized into either a single row or a single column of child widgets, depending upon whether the box is horizontally or vertically oriented, respectively. A Box is abstract - specific layout containers are provided in its sub classes, including a horizontal box, (), a vertical box (), and button boxes, (). Widgets that are 'packed' into a box are considered to be the children of the box, and the box controls their layout. Properties such as control the layout of all the children in the box, whereas specific packing settings can be applied to each child individually, such as . Gtk.Container System.Reflection.DefaultMember(MemberName="Item") Method System.Void Change the packing properties of a child that is currently in this box.

The size (in pixels) of a border to place around the specified child widget. Whether this child widget should be packed from the beginning of the box, (eg. the left, or the top), or from the end, (eg. the right or the bottom) It is more common to set any specific packing requirements on child widgets when they are initially added to the box. This can be done using and . Method System.Void Add a widget to the 'end' of a box with default packing settings. The child widget to add to the box.

To add a widget to the start of a box with default packing, use Method System.Void Add a widget to the 'end' of a box with the specified packing properties. A widget to pack into the box.
