ToggleButton

A #GtkToggleButton is a #GtkButton which will remain “pressed-in” when clicked. Clicking again will cause the toggle button to return to its normal state.

A toggle button is created by calling either gtk_toggle_button_new() or gtk_toggle_button_new_with_label(). If using the former, it is advisable to pack a widget, (such as a #GtkLabel and/or a #GtkImage), into the toggle button’s container. (See #GtkButton for more information).

The state of a #GtkToggleButton can be set specifically using gtk_toggle_button_set_active(), and retrieved using gtk_toggle_button_get_active().

To simply switch the state of a toggle button, use gtk_toggle_button_toggled().

CSS nodes

GtkToggleButton has a single CSS node with name button. To differentiate it from a plain #GtkButton, it gets the .toggle style class.

Creating two #GtkToggleButton widgets.

|[<!-- language="C" --> static void output_state (GtkToggleButton *source, gpointer user_data) { printf ("Active: %d\n", gtk_toggle_button_get_active (source)); }

void make_toggles (void) { GtkWidget *window, *toggle1, *toggle2; GtkWidget *box; const char *text;

window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); box = gtk_box_new (GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, 12);

text = "Hi, I’m a toggle button."; toggle1 = gtk_toggle_button_new_with_label (text);

// Makes this toggle button invisible gtk_toggle_button_set_mode (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (toggle1), TRUE);

g_signal_connect (toggle1, "toggled", G_CALLBACK (output_state), NULL); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), toggle1);

text = "Hi, I’m a toggle button."; toggle2 = gtk_toggle_button_new_with_label (text); gtk_toggle_button_set_mode (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (toggle2), FALSE); g_signal_connect (toggle2, "toggled", G_CALLBACK (output_state), NULL); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (box), toggle2);

gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), box); gtk_widget_show_all (window); } ]|

Constructors

this
this(GtkToggleButton* gtkToggleButton, bool ownedRef)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

this
this(string label, bool mnemonic)

Creates a new toggle button with a text label.

this
this()

Creates a new toggle button. A widget should be packed into the button, as in gtk_button_new().

Functions

addOnToggled
gulong addOnToggled(void delegate(ToggleButton) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Should be connected if you wish to perform an action whenever the #GtkToggleButton's state is changed.

getActive
bool getActive()

Queries a #GtkToggleButton and returns its current state. Returns %TRUE if the toggle button is pressed in and %FALSE if it is raised.

getInconsistent
bool getInconsistent()

Gets the value set by gtk_toggle_button_set_inconsistent().

getMode
bool getMode()

Retrieves whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label. See gtk_toggle_button_set_mode().

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getToggleButtonStruct
GtkToggleButton* getToggleButtonStruct(bool transferOwnership)

Get the main Gtk struct

setActive
void setActive(bool isActive)

Sets the status of the toggle button. Set to %TRUE if you want the GtkToggleButton to be “pressed in”, and %FALSE to raise it. This action causes the #GtkToggleButton::toggled signal and the #GtkButton::clicked signal to be emitted.

setInconsistent
void setInconsistent(bool setting)

If the user has selected a range of elements (such as some text or spreadsheet cells) that are affected by a toggle button, and the current values in that range are inconsistent, you may want to display the toggle in an “in between” state. This function turns on “in between” display. Normally you would turn off the inconsistent state again if the user toggles the toggle button. This has to be done manually, gtk_toggle_button_set_inconsistent() only affects visual appearance, it doesn’t affect the semantics of the button.

setMode
void setMode(bool drawIndicator)

Sets whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label. You can call this function on a checkbutton or a radiobutton with @draw_indicator = %FALSE to make the button look like a normal button.

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

Emits the #GtkToggleButton::toggled signal on the #GtkToggleButton. There is no good reason for an application ever to call this function.

getType

clicked
void clicked()

Emits a #GtkButton::clicked signal to the given #GtkButton.

enter
void enter()

Emits a #GtkButton::enter signal to the given #GtkButton.

getAlignment
void getAlignment(float xalign, float yalign)

Gets the alignment of the child in the button.

getAlwaysShowImage
bool getAlwaysShowImage()

Returns whether the button will ignore the #GtkSettings:gtk-button-images setting and always show the image, if available.

getEventWindow
Window getEventWindow()

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

getFocusOnClick
bool getFocusOnClick()

Returns whether the button grabs focus when it is clicked with the mouse. See gtk_button_set_focus_on_click().

getImage
Widget getImage()

Gets the widget that is currenty set as the image of @button. This may have been explicitly set by gtk_button_set_image() or constructed by gtk_button_new_from_stock().

getImagePosition
GtkPositionType getImagePosition()

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

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.

getRelief
GtkReliefStyle getRelief()

Returns the current relief style of the given #GtkButton.

getUseStock
bool getUseStock()

Returns whether the button label is a stock item.

getUseUnderline
bool getUseUnderline()

Returns whether an embedded underline in the button label indicates a mnemonic. See gtk_button_set_use_underline ().

leave
void leave()

Emits a #GtkButton::leave signal to the given #GtkButton.

pressed
void pressed()

Emits a #GtkButton::pressed signal to the given #GtkButton.

released
void released()

Emits a #GtkButton::released signal to the given #GtkButton.

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 #GtkAlignment.

setAlwaysShowImage
void setAlwaysShowImage(bool alwaysShow)

If %TRUE, the button will ignore the #GtkSettings:gtk-button-images setting and always show the image, if available.

setFocusOnClick
void setFocusOnClick(bool 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.

setImage
void setImage(Widget image)

Set the image of @button to the given widget. The image will be displayed if the label text is %NULL or if #GtkButton:always-show-image is %TRUE. You don’t have to call gtk_widget_show() on @image yourself.

setImagePosition
void setImagePosition(GtkPositionType position)

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

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.

setRelief
void setRelief(GtkReliefStyle relief)

Sets the relief style of the edges of the given #GtkButton widget. Two styles exist, %GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL and %GTK_RELIEF_NONE. The default style is, as one can guess, %GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL. The deprecated value %GTK_RELIEF_HALF behaves the same as %GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL.

setUseStock
void setUseStock(bool 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(bool useUnderline)

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