Description
A GtkExpander allows the user to hide or show its child by clicking on an expander triangle similar to the triangles used in a GtkTreeView.
Normally you use an expander as you would use any other descendant
of GtkBin; you create the child widget and use gtk_container_add()
to add it to the expander. When the expander is toggled, it will take
care of showing and hiding the child automatically.
There are situations in which you may prefer to show and hide the
expanded widget yourself, such as when you want to actually create
the widget at expansion time. In this case, create a GtkExpander
but do not add a child to it. The expander widget has an
expanded
property which can be used to monitor
its expansion state. You should watch this property with a signal
connection as follows:
expander = gtk_expander_new_with_mnemonic ("_More Options"); g_signal_connect (expander, "notify::expanded", G_CALLBACK (expander_callback), NULL); ... static void expander_callback (GObject *object, GParamSpec *param_spec, gpointer user_data) { GtkExpander *expander; expander = GTK_EXPANDER (object); if (gtk_expander_get_expanded (expander)) { /* Show or create widgets */ } else { /* Hide or destroy widgets */ } }
GtkExpander as GtkBuildable
The GtkExpander implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing a child in the label position by specifying "label" as the "type" attribute of a <child> element. A normal content child can be specified without specifying a <child> type attribute.
Example 36. A UI definition fragment with GtkExpander
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
<object class="GtkExpander"> <child type="label"> <object class="GtkLabel" id="expander-label"/> </child> <child> <object class="GtkEntry" id="expander-content"/> </child> </object> |
Functions
gtk_expander_new ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_expander_new (const gchar *label
);
Creates a new expander using label
as the text of the label.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_new_with_mnemonic ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_expander_new_with_mnemonic (const gchar *label
);
Creates a new expander using label
as the text of the label.
If characters in label
are preceded by an underscore, they are underlined.
If you need a literal underscore character in a label, use '__' (two
underscores). The first underlined character represents a keyboard
accelerator called a mnemonic.
Pressing Alt and that key activates the button.
Parameters
label |
the text of the label with an underscore in front of the mnemonic character. |
[allow-none] |
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_set_expanded ()
void gtk_expander_set_expanded (GtkExpander *expander
,gboolean expanded
);
Sets the state of the expander. Set to TRUE
, if you want
the child widget to be revealed, and FALSE
if you want the
child widget to be hidden.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_get_expanded ()
gboolean
gtk_expander_get_expanded (GtkExpander *expander
);
Queries a GtkExpander and returns its current state. Returns TRUE
if the child widget is revealed.
See gtk_expander_set_expanded()
.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_set_spacing ()
void gtk_expander_set_spacing (GtkExpander *expander
,gint spacing
);
Sets the spacing field of expander
, which is the number of pixels to
place between expander and the child.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_get_spacing ()
gint
gtk_expander_get_spacing (GtkExpander *expander
);
Gets the value set by gtk_expander_set_spacing()
.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_set_label ()
void gtk_expander_set_label (GtkExpander *expander
,const gchar *label
);
Sets the text of the label of the expander to label
.
This will also clear any previously set labels.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_get_label ()
const gchar *
gtk_expander_get_label (GtkExpander *expander
);
Fetches the text from a label widget including any embedded
underlines indicating mnemonics and Pango markup, as set by
gtk_expander_set_label()
. If the label text has not been set the
return value will be NULL
. This will be the case if you create an
empty button with gtk_button_new()
to use as a container.
Note that this function behaved differently in versions prior to 2.14 and used to return the label text stripped of embedded underlines indicating mnemonics and Pango markup. This problem can be avoided by fetching the label text directly from the label widget.
Returns
The text of the label widget. This string is owned by the widget and must not be modified or freed.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_set_use_underline ()
void gtk_expander_set_use_underline (GtkExpander *expander
,gboolean use_underline
);
If true, an underline in the text of the expander label indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_get_use_underline ()
gboolean
gtk_expander_get_use_underline (GtkExpander *expander
);
Returns whether an embedded underline in the expander label indicates a
mnemonic. See gtk_expander_set_use_underline()
.
Returns
TRUE
if an embedded underline in the expander label
indicates the mnemonic accelerator keys.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_set_use_markup ()
void gtk_expander_set_use_markup (GtkExpander *expander
,gboolean use_markup
);
Sets whether the text of the label contains markup in gtk_label_set_markup()
.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_get_use_markup ()
gboolean
gtk_expander_get_use_markup (GtkExpander *expander
);
Returns whether the label's text is interpreted as marked up with
the gtk_expander_set_use_markup()
.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_set_label_widget ()
void gtk_expander_set_label_widget (GtkExpander *expander
,GtkWidget *label_widget
);
Set the label widget for the expander. This is the widget that will appear embedded alongside the expander arrow.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_get_label_widget ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_expander_get_label_widget (GtkExpander *expander
);
Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See
gtk_expander_set_label_widget()
.
Since: 2.4
gtk_expander_set_label_fill ()
void gtk_expander_set_label_fill (GtkExpander *expander
,gboolean label_fill
);
Sets whether the label widget should fill all available horizontal space
allocated to expander
.
Since: 2.22
gtk_expander_get_label_fill ()
gboolean
gtk_expander_get_label_fill (GtkExpander *expander
);
Returns whether the label widget will fill all available horizontal
space allocated to expander
.
Since: 2.22
