    <summary>A VBox is a specific type of <see cref="T:Gtk.Container" /> for packing widgets vertically.</summary>
    <remarks>
      <para>Other ways of laying out widgets include using a horizontal box, (see <see cref="T:Gtk.HBox" />), a table, (see <see cref="T:Gtk.Table" />), button boxes, etc.</para>
      <para>
    	Useful methods for manipulating boxes can be found in the superclass for HBox, <see cref="T:Gtk.Box" />.

      <para>Here is a simple example of the class' usage:</para>
