Containers

The following interface elements are not visible, but control the positioning of visible elements:

IupBackgroundBox	-	Creates a simple native container with no decorations.
IupCbox	-	Creates a void container for positioning elements in absolute coordinates. It is a concrete layout container.
IupHbox	-	Creates a void container for composing elements horizontally.
IupFill	-	Creates void element, which dynamically occupies empty spaces always trying to expand itself.
IupGridBox	-	Creates a void container for composing elements in a regular grid.
IupMultiBox	-	Creates a void container for composing elements in a irregular grid.
IupNormalizer	-	Sets the widths, heights, or both to the largest size in the specified list.
IupRadio	-	Creates a void container for grouping mutually exclusive toggles.
IupVbox	-	Creates a void container for composing elements vertically.
IupZbox	-	Creates a void container for composing elements in hidden layers with only one layer visible.

 
All visible interface elements must ultimately belong to an IupDialog.

IupDialog	-	Create a native standard window. This is the mandatory top-level container for any and all application-defined windows.
IupDetachBox	-	Creates a detachable void container.
Iup[GL]Expander	-	Creates a void container that can interactively show or hide its child.
Iup[Flat]Frame	-	Creates a native container, which draws a frame with a title around its child.
IupSbox	-	Creates a void container that allows its child to be resized.
IupScrollBox	-	Creates a native container that allows its child to be scrolled.
IupSplit	-	Creates a void container that split its client area in two.
IupTabs	-	Creates a tab control (like IupZbox, but interactively visibile)

 
Several pre-defined dialogs are provided:

IupAlarm	-	Show a modal dialog containing a message and up to three buttons.
IupMessage	-	Show a modal dialog containing a message with an OK button.
IupFileDlg	-	Creates the File Dialog element.
IupFontDlg	-	Creates a Font Dialog element, for selecting a font.
IupGetColor	-	Shows a modal dialog which allows the user to select a color.
IupGetParam	-	Shows a modal dialog for capturing parameter values using several types of controls.
IupGetText	-	Shows a modal dialog to edit a multiline text.
IupListDialog	-	Shows a modal dialog to select items from a simple or multiple selection list.
IupProgressDlg	-	Creates a progress dialog for displaying the progress of an operation.
IupLayoutDialog	-	Creates a Layout Dialog to visually edit the layout of another dialog in run time.
IupGlobalsDialog	-	Creates an Globals Dialog to check and edit global attributes, functions (read-only) and names (read-only) in run time.
IupElementPropertiesDialog	-	Creates an Element Properties Dialog to edit the properties of an element in run time.
IupClassInfoDialog	-	Creates an Iup Class Information dialog to show all registered classes, class attributes and callbacks.

 
The following routines can be used for managing elements.

IupAppend	-	Inserts an interface element at the end of the container, after the last element of the container.
IupDetach	-	Detaches an interface element from its parent.
IupInsert	-	Inserts an interface element before another child of the container.
IupReparent	-	Moves an interface element from one position in the hierarchy tree to another.
IupGetDialog	-	Returns the handle of the dialog that contains that interface element.
IupGetBrother	-	Returns either brother of an element.
IupGetChild	-	Returns a child of the control given its position.
IupGetChildCount	-	Returns the number of children of the given control.
IupGetChildPos	-	Returns the position of a child of the given control.
IupGetNextChild	-	Returns the next child of the specified control given its brother.
IupGetDialogChild	-	Returns the identifier of the child element with the specified name.
IupGetParent	-	Returns the parent of a control.
