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 */ } }
GtkWidget* gtk_expander_new (const gchar *label);
Creates a new expander using label
as the text of the label.
label : |
the text of the label |
Returns : | a new GtkExpander widget. |
Since 2.4
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.
label : |
the text of the label with an underscore in front of the mnemonic character |
Returns : | a new GtkExpander widget. |
Since 2.4
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.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
expanded : |
whether the child widget is revealed |
Since 2.4
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()
.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
Returns : | the current state of the expander. |
Since 2.4
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.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
spacing : |
distance between the expander and child in pixels. |
Since 2.4
gint gtk_expander_get_spacing (GtkExpander *expander);
Gets the value set by gtk_expander_set_spacing()
.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
Returns : | spacing between the expander and child. |
Since 2.4
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.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
label : |
a string |
Since 2.4
const gchar* gtk_expander_get_label (GtkExpander *expander);
Fetches the text from the label of the expander, 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.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
Returns : | The text of the label widget. This string is owned by the widget and must not be modified or freed. |
Since 2.4
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.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
use_underline : |
TRUE if underlines in the text indicate mnemonics
|
Since 2.4
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()
.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
Returns : | TRUE if an embedded underline in the expander label
indicates the mnemonic accelerator keys.
|
Since 2.4
void gtk_expander_set_use_markup (GtkExpander *expander, gboolean use_markup);
Sets whether the text of the label contains markup in Pango's text markup
language. See gtk_label_set_markup()
.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
use_markup : |
TRUE if the label's text should be parsed for markup
|
Since 2.4
gboolean gtk_expander_get_use_markup (GtkExpander *expander);
Returns whether the label's text is interpreted as marked up with
the Pango text markup
language. See gtk_expander_set_use_markup()
.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
Returns : | TRUE if the label's text will be parsed for markup
|
Since 2.4
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.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
label_widget : |
the new label widget |
Since 2.4
GtkWidget* gtk_expander_get_label_widget (GtkExpander *expander);
Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See
gtk_expander_set_label_widget()
.
expander : |
a GtkExpander |
Returns : | the label widget, or NULL if there is none.
|
