GTK + sockets help

i have decided to build a GUI for a synchronous server/client i wrote. So far i have a send button and a text box. I am able to place the send button where i want by creating tables. When i try and place the text box and expand it, it will not expand for some reason.


Here's a pic.

i want to expand the text box and have it take the whole upper half of the window.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

 static void destroy_event(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
  {
    gtk_main_quit();
  }

  static gboolean delete_event(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, gpointer data)
  {
    gtk_main_quit();
    return FALSE;
  }

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  GtkWidget *window;
  GtkWidget *entry;
  GtkWidget *table;
  GtkWidget * button_send;
  //GtkWidget *button_connect;


  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
  gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 450, 400);
  gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "menu");
  gtk_widget_show(window);

  table = gtk_table_new (1, 3, TRUE);
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER (window), table);
  gtk_widget_show(table);
 
  /*button_connect = gtk_button_new_with_label("Connect");
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), button_connect);
  gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(button_connect), 3, 0);
  gtk_table_attach_defaults (GTK_TABLE(table), button_connect, 0, 1, 2, 3);
  //gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(button_connect), 1, 0);
  //gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(button_connect), 2);
  gtk_widget_show(button_connect);*/

  button_send = gtk_button_new_with_label("Send");
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), button_send);
  //gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(button_send), 3, 0);
  gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(table), button_send, 0, 4, 2, 3);
  gtk_widget_show(button_send);

  entry = gtk_entry_new();
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), entry);
  gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(table), entry, 0, 4, 0, 2);
  gtk_widget_show(entry);

  g_signal_connect_swapped(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy-event",
      G_CALLBACK(destroy_event), NULL);

  g_signal_connect_swapped(G_OBJECT(window), "delete-event",
      G_CALLBACK(delete_event), NULL);

  gtk_main ();
  return 0;
}

ideas?

Ill just use hbox to pack, instead of tables.
