Package: gtk

Function gtk:container-add

Lambda List

gtk:container-add (container widget)

Arguments

container -- a gtk:container widget
widget -- a gtk:widget child widget to be placed inside container

Details

Adds a child widget to the container. Typically used for simple containers such as gtk:window, gtk:frame, or gtk:button widgets.

For more complicated layout containers such as gtk:box or gtk:grid widgets, this function will pick default packing parameters that may not be correct. So consider functions such as the gtk:box-pack-start and gtk:grid-attach functions as an alternative to the gtk:container-add function in those cases.

A widget may be added to only one container at a time. You cannot place the same widget inside two different containers.
