## Description

## Functions

### gtk_handle_box_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_handle_box_new (void);

### gtk_handle_box_set_shadow_type ()

    void
    gtk_handle_box_set_shadow_type (GtkHandleBox *handle_box,
                                    GtkShadowType type);

### gtk_handle_box_set_handle_position ()

    void
    gtk_handle_box_set_handle_position (GtkHandleBox *handle_box,
                                        GtkPositionType position);

### gtk_handle_box_set_snap_edge ()

    void
    gtk_handle_box_set_snap_edge (GtkHandleBox *handle_box,
                                  GtkPositionType edge);

### gtk_handle_box_get_handle_position ()

    GtkPositionType
    gtk_handle_box_get_handle_position (GtkHandleBox *handle_box);

Gets the handle position of the handle box. See `gtk_handle_box_set_handle_position()`.

#### Parameters

handle_box | a GtkHandleBox |

#### Returns

the current handle position.

### gtk_handle_box_get_shadow_type ()

    GtkShadowType
    gtk_handle_box_get_shadow_type (GtkHandleBox *handle_box);

Gets the type of shadow drawn around the handle box. See `gtk_handle_box_set_shadow_type()`.

#### Parameters

handle_box | a GtkHandleBox |

#### Returns

the type of shadow currently drawn around the handle box.

### gtk_handle_box_get_snap_edge ()

    GtkPositionType
    gtk_handle_box_get_snap_edge (GtkHandleBox *handle_box);

Gets the edge used for determining reattachment of the handle box. See `gtk_handle_box_set_snap_edge()`.

#### Parameters

handle_box | a GtkHandleBox |

#### Returns

the edge used for determining reattachment, or (GtkPositionType)-1 if this is determined (as per default) from the handle position.

### gtk_handle_box_get_child_detached ()

    gboolean
    gtk_handle_box_get_child_detached (GtkHandleBox *handle_box);

Whether the handlebox's child is currently detached.

#### Parameters

handle_box | a GtkHandleBox |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the child is currently detached, otherwise `FALSE`

Since: 2.14
