## IupSbox

Creates a void container that allows its child to be resized. Allows expanding and contracting the child size in one direction.

It does not have a native representation but it contains also a IupFlatSeparator to implement the bar handler.

### Creation

    Ihandle* IupSbox(Ihandle* child); [in C]
    iup.sbox{child: ihandle} -> (ih: ihandle) [in Lua]
    sbox(child) [in LED]

child: Identifier of an interface element which will receive the box. It can be NULL (nil in Lua), or empty in LED.

Returns: the identifier of the created element, or NULL if an error occurs.

### Attributes

BARSIZE (non inheritable): controls the size of the bar handler. Default: 5. (since 3.27)

COLOR: Changes the color of the bar handler. Default: "160 160 160". (changed in 3.28 to match IupSplit default color)

DIRECTION (creation only): Indicates the direction of the resize and the position of the bar handler. Possible values are "NORTH", "SOUTH" (vertical direction), "EAST" or "WEST" (horizontal direction). Default: "EAST".

EXPAND (non inheritable): It will expand automatically only in the direction opposite to the handler.

LAYOUTDRAG (non inheritable): When the bar is moved automatically update the children layout. Default: YES. If set to NO then the layout will be updated only when the mouse drag is released. (since 3.27)

SHOWGRIP (non inheritable): Shows the bar grip affordance. Default: NO. When set to NO, COLOR is used to fill the grip area. If set to "LINES" then instead of the traditional grip appearance, it will be two parallel lines. (since 3.27)

WID (read-only): returns -1 if mapped.

FONT, SIZE, RASTERSIZE, CLIENTSIZE, CLIENTOFFSET, POSITION, MINSIZE, MAXSIZE, THEME: also accepted.

### Notes

The controls that you want to be resized must have the EXPAND=YES attribute set. The control inside the sbox will not be resized with a size lesser than its Natural size. See the Layout Guide for mode details on sizes.

The IupFlatSeparator bar handler is always the first child of the sbox. It can be obtained using IupGetChild or IupGetNextChild.

IupSbox can make the layout to be resized larger than the dialog size so some controls will be positioned outside the dialog area at right or bottom. In fact this is part of the dynamic layout default reposition of controls inside the dialog. See the IupRefresh function. The IUP layout does not have a maximum limit only a minimum, except if you use the MAXSIZE common attribute.

The box can be created with no elements and be dynamic filled using IupAppend or IupInsert.
