## Implemented Interfaces

GtkVBox implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

## Includes

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

## Description

A GtkVBox is a container that organizes child widgets into a single column.

Use the GtkBox packing interface to determine the arrangement, spacing, height, and alignment of GtkVBox children.

All children are allocated the same width.

GtkVBox has been deprecated. You can use GtkBox with a “orientation” set to `GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL` instead when calling `gtk_box_new()`, which is a very quick and easy change.

If you have derived your own classes from GtkVBox, you can change the inheritance to derive directly from GtkBox, and set the “orientation” property to `GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL` in your instance init function, with a call like:

    1
    2
    gtk_orientable_set_orientation (GTK_ORIENTABLE (object),
                                    GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

If you have a grid-like layout composed of nested boxes, and you don’t need first-child or last-child styling, the recommendation is to switch to GtkGrid. For more information about migrating to GtkGrid, see Migrating from other containers to GtkGrid.

## Functions

### gtk_vbox_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_vbox_new (gboolean homogeneous,
                  gint spacing);

`gtk_vbox_new` has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

You should use `gtk_box_new()` with a `GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL` “orientation” instead

Creates a new GtkVBox.

#### Parameters

homogeneous | `TRUE` if all children are to be given equal space allotments. |
spacing | the number of pixels to place by default between children. |

#### Returns
