Gtk2::Ex::TableBits -- helpers for Gtk2::Table widgets
use Gtk2::Ex::TableBits;
Gtk2::Ex::TableBits::update_attach ($table, $child, $left_attach, $right_attach, $top_attach, $bottom_attach, $xoptions, $yoptions, $xpadding, $ypadding)
Update the attachment positions of $child in $table, if necessary. The arguments are the same as $table->attach().
$child
$table
$table->attach()
If $child is not attached to $table, or if it's not at the given positions, then a remove() and fresh attach() are done to put it there.
remove()
attach()
This function is designed to move a child to what might be a new position, but do nothing if it's already in the right place. Avoiding an unnecessary remove() and attach() can save a lot of resizing and possibly some flashing.
Another way to move a child is by changing the container child properties
$table->child_set_property($child,...)
but only when child is already attached in the correct table (whereas update_attach() can make an initial attachment or move to a different $table).
update_attach()
