GtkContainer Class

The GtkContainer class is the base class for container widgets in the GtkRxDlg class heirarchy. You should NOT instantiate this class directly, instead you should instantiate the children of this class. However, feel free to utilize the methods in this class to manipulate your child widgets.

This is a logical container and has no visible presence on the screen. It is used to contain other widgets.
