public class VBox
extends Box

A Container which holds a variable number of Widgets in a single vertical row. All the children of this VBox are allocated the same width - that of the widest Widget packed into the VBox.

A VBox is almost always the first thing (and only thing, of course) added to a new Window; doing so gives you a natural mechanism to layout the contents of a Window in logical sequence from Menu through to Buttons and Statusbar.

All the methods you need add widgets to VBoxes and to manipulate their characteristics are on parent class Box. See its packStart() as a good first step.
