Description

The frame widget is a Bin that surrounds its child with a decorative frame and an optional label. If present, the label is drawn in a gap in the top side of the frame. The position of the label can be controlled with gtk_frame_set_label_align().

Details

GtkFrame

typedef struct _GtkFrame GtkFrame;

gtk_frame_new ()

GtkWidget*          gtk_frame_new                       (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkFrame, with optional label label. If label is NULL, the label is omitted.

label : the text to use as the label of the frame
Returns : a new GtkFrame widget

gtk_frame_set_label ()

void                gtk_frame_set_label                 (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         const gchar *label);

Sets the text of the label. If label is NULL, the current label is removed.

frame : a GtkFrame
label : the text to use as the label of the frame

gtk_frame_set_label_widget ()

void                gtk_frame_set_label_widget          (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         GtkWidget *label_widget);

Sets the label widget for the frame. This is the widget that will appear embedded in the top edge of the frame as a title.

frame : a GtkFrame
label_widget : the new label widget

gtk_frame_set_label_align ()

void                gtk_frame_set_label_align           (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         gfloat xalign,
                                                         gfloat yalign);

Sets the alignment of the frame widget's label. The default values for a newly created frame are 0.0 and 0.5.

frame : a GtkFrame
xalign : The position of the label along the top edge of the widget. A value of 0.0 represents left alignment; 1.0 represents right alignment.
yalign : The y alignment of the label. A value of 0.0 aligns under the frame; 1.0 aligns above the frame.

gtk_frame_set_shadow_type ()

void                gtk_frame_set_shadow_type           (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         GtkShadowType type);

Sets the shadow type for frame.

frame : a GtkFrame
type : the new GtkShadowType

gtk_frame_get_label ()

const gchar*        gtk_frame_get_label                 (GtkFrame *frame);

If the frame's label widget is a GtkLabel, returns the text in the label widget. (The frame will have a GtkLabel for the label widget if a non-NULL argument was passed to gtk_frame_new().)

frame : a GtkFrame
Returns : the text in the label, or NULL if there was no label widget or the lable widget was not a GtkLabel. This string is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified or freed.

gtk_frame_get_label_align ()

void                gtk_frame_get_label_align           (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         gfloat *xalign,
                                                         gfloat *yalign);

Retrieves the X and Y alignment of the frame's label. See gtk_frame_set_label_align().

frame : a GtkFrame
xalign : location to store X alignment of frame's label, or NULL
yalign : location to store X alignment of frame's label, or NULL

gtk_frame_get_label_widget ()

GtkWidget*          gtk_frame_get_label_widget          (GtkFrame *frame);

Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See gtk_frame_set_label_widget().

frame : a GtkFrame
Returns : the label widget, or NULL if there is none.

gtk_frame_get_shadow_type ()

GtkShadowType       gtk_frame_get_shadow_type           (GtkFrame *frame);

Retrieves the shadow type of the frame. See gtk_frame_set_shadow_type().

frame : a GtkFrame
Returns : the current shadow type of the frame.
