attach


Description:

public void attach (Widget child, uint left_attach, uint right_attach, uint top_attach, uint bottom_attach, AttachOptions xoptions, AttachOptions yoptions, uint xpadding, uint ypadding)

Adds a widget to a table.

Note:

Use attach with Grid. Note that the attach arguments differ between those two functions.

The number of “cells” that a widget will occupy is specified by left_attach, right_attach, top_attach and bottom_attach. These each represent the leftmost, rightmost, uppermost and lowest column and row numbers of the table. (Columns and rows are indexed from zero).

To make a button occupy the lower right cell of a 2x2 table, use

gtk_table_attach (table, button,
1, 2, // left, right attach
1, 2, // top, bottom attach
xoptions, yoptions,
xpadding, ypadding);
If you want to make the button span the entire bottom row, use left_attach == 0 and right_attach = 2 instead.

An integer value specifying the padding on the left and right of the widget being added to the table.
