# Package Gtk.Container

Base class for widgets that have children.

- Gtk.Container Widget Hierarchy
- Gtk.Container Signals
- Gtk.Container Types
- Gtk.Container Subprograms

## Widget Hierarchy

    Gtk_Object                    (see section Package Gtk.Object)
       \___ Gtk_Widget            (see section Package Gtk.Widget)
          \___ Gtk_Container      (see section Package Gtk.Container)

## Signals

- "add" procedure Handler (Container : access Gtk_Container_Record'Class;
  Widget : access Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
  A new widget is added to the container
- "check_resize" procedure Handler (Container : access Gtk_Container_Record'Class);
  Called every time the Container needs resizing. Upon receiving this signal, Container should check whether it needs to be resized, and if it does should queue a resize request.
- "focus" procedure Handler (Container : access Gtk_Container_Record'Class;
  Direction : Gtk_Direction_Type);
  Moves the current selection to a new widget.
- "remove" procedure Handler (Container : access Gtk_Container_Record'Class;
  Widget : access Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
  A widget is removed from the container
- "set-focus-child" procedure Handler (Container : access Gtk_Container_Record'Class;
  Widget : access Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
  Emitted when a new widget gains the focus.

## Types

    type Forall_Function is access procedure
        (Item : access Gtk.Widget.Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
| Function that can be call for each child of a container. This is called automatically by the Forall subprogram below.

## Subprograms

    procedure Set_Border_Width
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Border_Width       : in     Gint);
| Modify the size of the frame that surrounds the widget. The exact visual impact depends on the specific widget class.
    procedure Add
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Widget             : access Gtk.Widget.Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
| Add a new child to the container. Note that some containers can have only one child. Nothing is done if there is already a child. This basically sends the "add" signal (see below)
    procedure Remove
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Widget             : access Gtk.Widget.Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
| Remove a child from the container. Nothing is done if Widget is not a child of Container. Widget is not destroyed, but is deleted from the screen. This basically sends the "remove" signal (see below)
    procedure Set_Resize_Mode
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Resize_Mode        : in     Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Resize_Mode);
| Change the resizing behavior for the Container. The default value is Resize_Parent.
    function Children
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record)
       return Gtk.Widget.Widget_List.Glist;
| Return a list of all the children of the container.
    function Get_Type              return Gtk.Gtk_Type;
| Return the internal value associated with a Gtk_Container.
### Foreach functions
    procedure Forall
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Func               :        Forall_Function);
| Execute Func for each of the children of Container. See also the generic package Forall_Pkg if you want to pass some extra data to Func.
### Widget-level methods
    procedure Set_Reallocate_Redraws
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Needs_Redraws      :        Boolean := False);
| Set the "needs_redraws" field. If Needs_Redraws is True, then a "draw" signal is emitted for the Container whenever one is emitted for a child.
    procedure Set_Focus_Vadjustment
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Adjustment         :        Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment);
| Set the focus to the vertical adjustment. Adjustment should have been created and displayed at some other place in your application. Container will make sure that Adjustment always matches the range for the focus widget's position (y .. y + height).
    procedure Set_Focus_Hadjustment
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Adjustment         :        Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment);
| Set the focus to the horizontal adjustment. Adjustment should have been created and displayed at some other place in your application. Container will make sure that Adjustment always matches the range for the focus widget's position (x .. x + width).
    function Get_Toplevels         return Gtk.Widget.Widget_List.Glist;
| Return the list of all the toplevel widgets. I.e. the ones that don't have any parent (windows, dialogs, ...)
    procedure Register_Toplevel
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record);
| Register Container as a toplevel widget, returned by the subprogram Get_Toplevels.
    procedure Unregister_Toplevel
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record);
| Unregister Container as a toplevel widget.
    function Child_Type
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record)
       return Gtk.Gtk_Type;
| Return the type of the children in Container. If Container can contain any type of widget, Gtk_Type_None is returned.
### Signals emission
    procedure Check_Resize
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record);
| Emit the "check_resize" signal
    function Focus
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Direction          :        Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Direction_Type)
       return Boolean;
| Emit the "focus" signal
    procedure Set_Focus_Child
      (Container          : access Gtk_Container_Record;
       Child              : access Gtk.Widget.Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
| Emit a "set_focus_child" signal.
