Problem
You would like to arrange two related windows horizontally using GtkHPaned. The HPaned widget is a container widget with two children arranged horizontally. The division between the two panes is adjustable by the user by dragging a handle as shown below.
Solution
- Create a GtkHpaned.
- Stuff the widget to be displayed on the left using GtkPaned::add1().
- Stuff the widget to be displayed on the right using GtkPaned::add2().
- By default, nothing is around the children and gutter. So we usually create a GtkFrame and set the shadow type to Gtk::SHADOW_IN to make the gutter appears as a ridge.

Output
As shown above.Explanation
The above example is based on How to selectively display rows in GtkTreeView with GtkTreeModelFilter - Part 2?. In that example, we use menus and accelerators (Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2 and Ctrl-3) to switch between the three views.
In this example, we use the "clickable options" on the left pane for selection of views. The clickable labels are created with the techniques as described in How to put a clickable link in GtkLabel - Part 1?
What's new here:
- Create a new GtkHPaned.
- Set up the left pane with frame.
- Create 'clickable options' using the technique as described in How to put a clickable link in GtkLabel - Part 1?.
- Stuff the treeview created in the article How to selectively display rows in GtkTreeView with GtkTreeModelFilter - Part 2? in the right pane.
- Process use selected options and set the filters as explained in the article How to selectively display rows in GtkTreeView with GtkTreeModelFilter - Part 2?
Note
- Take a look at the article How to open a file with GtkFileChooser?. Note that GtkFileChooser uses GtkHPaned to display the folders and files.
- If you have the Dev_Inspector, note that it also uses GtkHPaned, with the list of widgets on the left and the corresponding methods and signals on the right.
