>The paned window widgets are useful when you want to divide an area
into two parts, with the relative size of the two parts controlled by
the user. A groove is drawn between the two portions with a handle
that the user can drag to change the ratio. The division can either be
horizontal (HPaned) or vertical (VPaned).</P

to its two halves. To do this, use the functions:</P

>As an example, we will create part of the user interface of an
imaginary email program. A window is divided into two portions
vertically, with the top portion being a list of email messages and
the bottom portion the text of the email message. Most of the program
is pretty straightforward. A couple of points to note: text can't be
added to a Text widget until it is realized. This could be done by
calling gtk_widget_realize(), but as a demonstration of an
alternate technique, we connect a handler to the "realize" signal to
add the text. Also, we need to add the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>GTK_SHRINK</TT
> option to some
of the items in the table containing the text window and its
scrollbars, so that when the bottom portion is made smaller, the
correct portions shrink instead of being pushed off the bottom of the
window.</P
