## Implemented Interfaces

CtkVBox implements AtkImplementorIface, CtkBuildable and CtkOrientable.

## Includes

    #include <ctk/ctk.h>

## Description

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

Use the CtkBox packing interface to determine the arrangement, spacing, height, and alignment of CtkVBox children.

All children are allocated the same width.

CtkVBox has been deprecated. You can use CtkBox with a “orientation” set to `CTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL` instead when calling `ctk_box_new()`, which is a very quick and easy change.

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

    1
    2
    ctk_orientable_set_orientation (CTK_ORIENTABLE (object),
                                    CTK_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 CtkGrid. For more information about migrating to CtkGrid, see Migrating from other containers to CtkGrid.

## Functions

### ctk_vbox_new ()

    CtkWidget *
    ctk_vbox_new (gboolean homogeneous,
                  gint spacing);

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

You can use `ctk_box_new()` with `CTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL` instead, which is a quick and easy change. But the recommendation is to switch to CtkGrid, since CtkBox is going to go away eventually. See Migrating from other containers to CtkGrid.

Creates a new CtkVBox.

#### 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
