IupCbox

Creates a void container for position elements in absolute coordinates. It is a concrete layout container.

It does not have a native representation.

The IupCbox is equivalent of a IupVbox or IupHbox where all the children have the FLOATING attribute set to YES, but children must use CX and CY attributes instead of the POSITION attribute.

Creation

Ihandle* IupCbox(Ihandle* child, ...); [in C]
Ihandle* IupCboxV(Ihandle* child, va_list arglist); [in C]
Ihandle* IupCboxv(Ihandle** children); [in C]
iup.cbox{child, ...: ihandle} -> (ih: ihandle) [in Lua]
cbox(child, ...) [in LED]

child, ... : List of the identifiers that will be placed in the box. NULL must be used to define the end of the list in C. It can be empty, but in C must have at least the NULL terminator..

Returns: the identifier of the created element, or NULL if an error occurs.

Attributes

EXPAND (non inheritable): The default value is "YES".

SIZE / RASTERSIZE (non inheritable): Must be defined for each child. If not defined for the box, then it will be the bounding box that includes all children in their position.

WID (read-only): returns -1 if mapped.


FONT, CLIENTSIZE, CLIENTOFFSET, POSITION, MINSIZE, MAXSIZE, THEME: also accepted.

Attributes (at Children)

CX, CY (non inheritable) (at children only): Position in pixels of the child relative to the top-left corner of the box. Must be set for each child inside the box.

Notes

The box can be created with no elements and be dynamic filled using IupAppend or IupInsert.
