Button

Description The GtkButton widget is generally used to attach a function to that is called when the button is pressed. The various signals and how to use them are outlined below. The GtkButton widget can hold any valid child widget. That is it can hold most any other standard GtkWidget. The most commonly used child is the GtkLabel.

class Button : Bin , ActivatableIF {}

Constructors

this
this(GtkButton* gtkButton)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class

this
this(string label, bool mnemonic)

Creates a new GtkButton containing a 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.

this
this(StockID stockID, bool hideLabel)

Creates a new GtkButton containing the image and text from a stock item. Some stock ids have preprocessor macros like GTK_STOCK_OK and GTK_STOCK_APPLY. If stock_id is unknown, then it will be treated as a mnemonic label (as for gtk_button_new_with_mnemonic()).

this
this(StockID stockID, void delegate(Button) dlg, bool hideLabel)
this
this(string label, void delegate(Button) dlg, bool mnemonic)
this
this(string label, void delegate(Button) dlg, string action)
this
this()

Creates a new GtkButton widget. To add a child widget to the button, use gtk_container_add().

Functions

addOnActivate
void addOnActivate(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::activate signal on GtkButton is an action signal and emitting it causes the button to animate press then release. Applications should never connect to this signal, but use the "clicked" signal.

addOnClicked
void addOnClicked(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Emitted when the button has been activated (pressed and released).

addOnEnter
void addOnEnter(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Warning GtkButton::enter has been deprecated since version 2.8 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use the "enter-notify-event" signal. Emitted when the pointer enters the button.

addOnLeave
void addOnLeave(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Warning GtkButton::leave has been deprecated since version 2.8 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use the "leave-notify-event" signal. Emitted when the pointer leaves the button.

addOnPressed
void addOnPressed(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Warning GtkButton::pressed has been deprecated since version 2.8 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use the "button-press-event" signal. Emitted when the button is pressed.

addOnReleased
void addOnReleased(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Warning GtkButton::released has been deprecated since version 2.8 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use the "button-release-event" signal. Emitted when the button is released.

clicked
void clicked()

Emits a "clicked" signal to the given GtkButton.

enter
void enter()

Warning gtk_button_enter has been deprecated since version 2.20 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use the "enter-notify-event" signal. Emits a "enter" signal to the given GtkButton.

string getActionName()
getAlignment
void getAlignment(float xalign, float yalign)

Gets the alignment of the child in the button. Since 2.4

getButtonStruct
GtkButton* getButtonStruct()
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getEventWindow
Window getEventWindow()

Returns the button's event window if it is realized, NULL otherwise. This function should be rarely needed. Since 2.22

GtkPositionType getImagePosition()

Gets the position of the image relative to the text inside the button. Since 2.10

getLabel
string getLabel()

Fetches the text from the label of the button, as set by gtk_button_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.

GtkReliefStyle getRelief()

Returns the current relief style of the given GtkButton.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getUseStock

setActionName
void setActionName(string action)
setAlignment
void setAlignment(float xalign, float yalign)

Sets the alignment of the child. This property has no effect unless the child is a GtkMisc or a GtkAligment. Since 2.4

setFocusOnClick
void setFocusOnClick(int focusOnClick)

Sets whether the button will grab focus when it is clicked with the mouse. Making mouse clicks not grab focus is useful in places like toolbars where you don't want the keyboard focus removed from the main area of the application. Since 2.4

setImage
void setImage(Widget image)

Set the image of button to the given widget. Note that it depends on the "gtk-button-images" setting whether the image will be displayed or not, you don't have to call gtk_widget_show() on image yourself. Since 2.6

setImagePosition
void setImagePosition(GtkPositionType position)

Sets the position of the image relative to the text inside the button. Since 2.10

setLabel
void setLabel(string label)

Sets the text of the label of the button to str. This text is also used to select the stock item if gtk_button_set_use_stock() is used. This will also clear any previously set labels.

setRelief
void setRelief(GtkReliefStyle newstyle)

Sets the relief style of the edges of the given GtkButton widget. Three styles exist, GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL, GTK_RELIEF_HALF, GTK_RELIEF_NONE. The default style is, as one can guess, GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL.

setStruct
void setStruct(GObject* obj)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
setUseStock
void setUseStock(int useStock)

If TRUE, the label set on the button is used as a stock id to select the stock item for the button.

setUseUnderline
void setUseUnderline(int useUnderline)

If true, an underline in the text of the button label indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key.

doSetRelatedAction
void doSetRelatedAction(Action action)

This is a utility function for GtkActivatable implementors. When implementing GtkActivatable you must call this when handling changes of the "related-action", and you must also use this to break references in GObject->dispose(). This function adds a reference to the currently set related action for you, it also makes sure the GtkActivatable->update() method is called when the related GtkAction properties change and registers to the action's proxy list. Note Be careful to call this before setting the local copy of the GtkAction property, since this function uses gtk_activatable_get_action() to retrieve the previous action Since 2.16

getRelatedAction
Action getRelatedAction()

Gets the related GtkAction for activatable. Since 2.16

getUseActionAppearance
int getUseActionAppearance()

Gets whether this activatable should reset its layout and appearance when setting the related action or when the action changes appearance. Since 2.16

syncActionProperties
void syncActionProperties(Action action)

This is called to update the activatable completely, this is called internally when the "related-action" property is set or unset and by the implementing class when "use-action-appearance" changes. Since 2.16

setRelatedAction
void setRelatedAction(Action action)

Sets the related action on the activatable object. Note GtkActivatable implementors need to handle the "related-action" property and call gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action() when it changes. Since 2.16

setUseActionAppearance
void setUseActionAppearance(int useAppearance)

Sets whether this activatable should reset its layout and appearance when setting the related action or when the action changes appearance Note GtkActivatable implementors need to handle the "use-action-appearance" property and call gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties() to update activatable if needed. Since 2.16
