A button box should be used to provide a consistent layout of buttons
throughout your application. The layout/spacing can be altered by the
programmer, or if desired, by the user to alter the 'feel' of a program to
a small degree.
A HButtonBox is created with hButtonBoxNew. Buttons are packed
into a button box the same way widgets are added to any other
container, using
containerAdd. You can also use
boxPackStart or
boxPackEnd, but for button boxes
both these functions work just like
containerAdd, ie., they pack
the button in a way that depends on the current layout style and on
whether the button has had
buttonBoxSetChildSecondary
called on it.
The spacing between buttons can be set with
boxSetSpacing. The arrangement and
layout of the buttons can be changed with
buttonBoxSetLayout.
