Gtk2::E...ry::VBox(3)

💖 Gtk2::E...ry::VBox(3) — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick: this is the manual page for Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::VBox, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set 🫶 — one of those lil Gtk2::E...ry::VBox(3) pages you pull up when you're deep in FormFactory land and need answers, like, immediately.

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::VBox — it's a VBox, but make it a FormFactory framework situation 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::VBox->new (
  homogenous => Bool,
  spacing    => Integer,
  no_frame   => Bool,
  ...
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container attributes
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget attributes
);

yes bestie, that's the whole vibe — you hand it a hash of stuff and it just goes ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This class implements a VBox inside a Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory framework. That's it, that's the girl 🌸

Heads up though: no application object attributes are associated with a VBox. Not a one. Zero. She's just here to stack things vertically and look cute doing it 💅

👑 OBJECT HIERARCHY 👑

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Intro

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

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

look at her lineage 😭 she's a Widget, she's a Container, she's the VBox — main character energy fr fr 👑

---

⭐ ATTRIBUTES ⭐

So here's the tea: attributes are handled through the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style accessors. But — and this is the important part, bestie — they're mostly passed once to the object constructor, and must not be altered after the associated FormFactory was built. Don't be out here changing things mid-build, it's giving chaos 🙈

---

🌸 homogenous = BOOL [optional]

If you set it to TRUE, every single child in this VBox gets the same height. Periodt. It's a convenience attribute for the homogenous property of Gtk2::Box — so if you know Gtk2::Box, you already know her 💖

---

🌈 spacing = INTEGER [optional]

This is the number of pixels chilling between the child widgets in this VBox. Yep, it's a convenience attribute for the spacing property of Gtk2::Box. Cute, simple, iconic ✨

---

🧚 no_frame = BOOL [optional]

okay so by default, a frame gets added to the VBox if it has a title. If you don't want that frame — set no_frame to a true value and it gets suppressed. That's the whole thing 💅

---

And for more attributes, go look at Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container — she's got the rest of the receipts 🫶

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

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

Around line 101:

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

not the Jörn accented-ö jumpscare in the POD parser 😭 utf-8 said "I got you" and honestly? she did 🙈
