💖 Gtk2::E...ry::Form(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Form — part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? she's giving structured layout realness. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Form — a Form in a FormFactory framework. That's it, that's the name, short and iconic. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ok so here's how you summon her:

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Form->new (
  label_top_align         => Align all labels at the top of their row,
  ...
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container attributes
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget attributes
);

yes bestie, those ... are literally in there — it's a vibe, not a typo. 🦋

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So. This class implements a Form inside a Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory framework. Periodt.

A Form gets rendered as a two column table — labels chill in the first column, and the corresponding widgets pull up in the second. it's giving grid layout excellence ✨

and the important bit: no application object attributes are associated with a Form. none. zero. she's independent like that. 👑

🌈 OBJECT HIERARCHY 🌈

family tree time, bestie — here's where she sits:

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Intro

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget
+--- Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container
     +--- Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Form

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Layout
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Rules
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Proxy

she's a grandchild of Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget, descended through Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container. slay lineage fr fr 🧚

---

✨ ATTRIBUTES ✨

ok so the tea on attributes: they're handled through the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style accessors, but mostly you pass them once to the object constructor and must not alter them after the associated FormFactory was built. like, don't touch after build, bestie, that's the rule. 💀

💜 label_top_align = BOOLEAN [optional]

Set this option and every form element label gets aligned to the top of its row. By default, labels are centered vertically. 🌸

so: top-aligned if you say so, centered if you don't. your call, main character. 💅

🙈 POD ERRORS 🙈

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below: 😭

Around line 81:

Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in 'Jörn'. Assuming UTF-8

it's the ö in Jörn, bestie — Perl clocked the non-ASCII character before any =encoding declaration and just assumed UTF-8. iconic honestly 🦋
