<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkHButtonBox

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
A container for arranging buttons horizontally

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
A #GtkHButtonBox is created with gtk_hbutton_box_new(). Buttons are
packed into a button box the same way widgets are added to any other
container, using gtk_container_add(). You can also use
gtk_box_pack_start() or gtk_box_pack_end(), but for button boxes both
these functions work just like gtk_container_add(), ie., they pack the
button in a way that depends on the current layout style and on
whether the button has had gtk_button_box_set_child_secondary() called
on it.
</para>

<para>
The spacing between buttons can be set with gtk_box_set_spacing(). The
arrangement and layout of the buttons can be changed with
gtk_button_box_set_layout().
