[Gtk-sharp-list] Placing controls and sizing them

[Mariano Benedettini]

You should use Boxes. Here's go a working example, a modified version of 
the one found in http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharpBeginnersGuide :


  using System;
  using Gtk;

  public class GtkHelloWorld {

    public static void Main() {
      Application.Init();

      //Create the Window
      Window myWin = new Window("My first GTK# Application! ");
      myWin.Resize(200,200);

      Button myButton = new Gtk.Button("Example button");
      VBox myVBox = new VBox();

      HBox myHBox = new HBox();
      myHBox.PackStart(myButton, false, false, 5);
      myVBox.PackStart(myHBox, false, false, 0);
      myWin.Add(myVBox);

      //Show Everything
      myWin.ShowAll();

      Application.Run();
    }
  }
