Table

The #GtkTable functions allow the programmer to arrange widgets in rows and columns, making it easy to align many widgets next to each other, horizontally and vertically.

Tables are created with a call to gtk_table_new(), the size of which can later be changed with gtk_table_resize().

Widgets can be added to a table using gtk_table_attach() or the more convenient (but slightly less flexible) gtk_table_attach_defaults().

To alter the space next to a specific row, use gtk_table_set_row_spacing(), and for a column, gtk_table_set_col_spacing(). The gaps between all rows or columns can be changed by calling gtk_table_set_row_spacings() or gtk_table_set_col_spacings() respectively. Note that spacing is added between the children, while padding added by gtk_table_attach() is added on either side of the widget it belongs to.

gtk_table_set_homogeneous(), can be used to set whether all cells in the table will resize themselves to the size of the largest widget in the table.

> #GtkTable has been deprecated. Use #GtkGrid instead. It provides the same > capabilities as GtkTable for arranging widgets in a rectangular grid, but > does support height-for-width geometry management.

Constructors

this
this(GtkTable* gtkTable, bool ownedRef)

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

this
this(uint rows, uint columns, int homogeneous)

Used to create a new table widget. An initial size must be given by specifying how many rows and columns the table should have, although this can be changed later with gtk_table_resize(). rows and columns must both be in the range 0 .. 65535.

Functions

attach
void attach(Widget child)

Attach a new widget creating a new row if necessary

attach
void attach(Widget child, uint leftAttach, uint rightAttach, uint topAttach, uint bottomAttach, GtkAttachOptions xoptions, GtkAttachOptions yoptions, uint xpadding, uint ypadding)

Adds a widget to a table. The number of “cells” that a widget will occupy is specified by @left_attach, @right_attach, @top_attach and @bottom_attach. These each represent the leftmost, rightmost, uppermost and lowest column and row numbers of the table. (Columns and rows are indexed from zero).

attachDefaults
void attachDefaults(Widget widget, uint leftAttach, uint rightAttach, uint topAttach, uint bottomAttach)

As there are many options associated with gtk_table_attach(), this convenience function provides the programmer with a means to add children to a table with identical padding and expansion options. The values used for the #GtkAttachOptions are GTK_EXPAND | GTK_FILL, and the padding is set to 0.

getColSpacing
uint getColSpacing(uint column)

Gets the amount of space between column @col, and column @col + 1. See gtk_table_set_col_spacing().

getDefaultColSpacing
uint getDefaultColSpacing()

Gets the default column spacing for the table. This is the spacing that will be used for newly added columns. (See gtk_table_set_col_spacings())

getDefaultRowSpacing
uint getDefaultRowSpacing()

Gets the default row spacing for the table. This is the spacing that will be used for newly added rows. (See gtk_table_set_row_spacings())

getHomogeneous
bool getHomogeneous()

Returns whether the table cells are all constrained to the same width and height. (See gtk_table_set_homogeneous ())

getRowSpacing
uint getRowSpacing(uint row)

Gets the amount of space between row @row, and row @row + 1. See gtk_table_set_row_spacing().

getSize
void getSize(uint rows, uint columns)

Gets the number of rows and columns in the table.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getTableStruct
GtkTable* getTableStruct()

Get the main Gtk struct

removeAll
void removeAll()

Removes all children and resizes the table to 1,1

resize
void resize(uint rows, uint columns)

If you need to change a table’s size after it has been created, this function allows you to do so.

setColSpacing
void setColSpacing(uint column, uint spacing)

Alters the amount of space between a given table column and the following column.

setColSpacings
void setColSpacings(uint spacing)

Sets the space between every column in @table equal to @spacing.

setHomogeneous
void setHomogeneous(bool homogeneous)

Changes the homogenous property of table cells, ie. whether all cells are an equal size or not.

setRowSpacing
void setRowSpacing(uint row, uint spacing)

Changes the space between a given table row and the subsequent row.

setRowSpacings
void setRowSpacings(uint spacing)

Sets the space between every row in @table equal to @spacing.

From Container

gtkContainer
GtkContainer* gtkContainer;

the main Gtk struct

getContainerStruct
GtkContainer* getContainerStruct()

Get the main Gtk struct

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

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

Removes all widgets from the container

getType
GType getType()
add
void add(Widget widget)

Adds @widget to @container. Typically used for simple containers such as #GtkWindow, #GtkFrame, or #GtkButton; for more complicated layout containers such as #GtkBox or #GtkGrid, this function will pick default packing parameters that may not be correct. So consider functions such as gtk_box_pack_start() and gtk_grid_attach() as an alternative to gtk_container_add() in those cases. A widget may be added to only one container at a time; you can’t place the same widget inside two different containers.

checkResize
void checkResize()
childGetProperty
void childGetProperty(Widget child, string propertyName, Value value)

Gets the value of a child property for @child and @container.

childGetValist
void childGetValist(Widget child, string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Gets the values of one or more child properties for @child and @container.

childNotify
void childNotify(Widget child, string childProperty)

Emits a #GtkWidget::child-notify signal for the [child property][child-properties] @child_property on the child.

childNotifyByPspec
void childNotifyByPspec(Widget child, ParamSpec pspec)

Emits a #GtkWidget::child-notify signal for the [child property][child-properties] specified by @pspec on the child.

childSetProperty
void childSetProperty(Widget child, string propertyName, Value value)

Sets a child property for @child and @container.

childSetValist
void childSetValist(Widget child, string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Sets one or more child properties for @child and @container.

childType
GType childType()

Returns the type of the children supported by the container.

forall
void forall(GtkCallback callback, void* callbackData)

Invokes @callback on each direct child of @container, including children that are considered “internal” (implementation details of the container). “Internal” children generally weren’t added by the user of the container, but were added by the container implementation itself.

foreac
void foreac(GtkCallback callback, void* callbackData)

Invokes @callback on each non-internal child of @container. See gtk_container_forall() for details on what constitutes an “internal” child. For all practical purposes, this function should iterate over precisely those child widgets that were added to the container by the application with explicit add() calls.

getBorderWidth
uint getBorderWidth()

Retrieves the border width of the container. See gtk_container_set_border_width().

getChildren
ListG getChildren()

Returns the container’s non-internal children. See gtk_container_forall() for details on what constitutes an "internal" child.

getFocusChain
bool getFocusChain(ListG focusableWidgets)

Retrieves the focus chain of the container, if one has been set explicitly. If no focus chain has been explicitly set, GTK+ computes the focus chain based on the positions of the children. In that case, GTK+ stores %NULL in @focusable_widgets and returns %FALSE.

getFocusChild
Widget getFocusChild()

Returns the current focus child widget inside @container. This is not the currently focused widget. That can be obtained by calling gtk_window_get_focus().

getFocusHadjustment
Adjustment getFocusHadjustment()

Retrieves the horizontal focus adjustment for the container. See gtk_container_set_focus_hadjustment ().

getFocusVadjustment
Adjustment getFocusVadjustment()

Retrieves the vertical focus adjustment for the container. See gtk_container_set_focus_vadjustment().

getPathForChild
WidgetPath getPathForChild(Widget child)

Returns a newly created widget path representing all the widget hierarchy from the toplevel down to and including @child.

getResizeMode
GtkResizeMode getResizeMode()

Returns the resize mode for the container. See gtk_container_set_resize_mode ().

propagateDraw
void propagateDraw(Widget child, Context cr)

When a container receives a call to the draw function, it must send synthetic #GtkWidget::draw calls to all children that don’t have their own #GdkWindows. This function provides a convenient way of doing this. A container, when it receives a call to its #GtkWidget::draw function, calls gtk_container_propagate_draw() once for each child, passing in the @cr the container received.

remove
void remove(Widget widget)

Removes @widget from @container. @widget must be inside @container. Note that @container will own a reference to @widget, and that this may be the last reference held; so removing a widget from its container can destroy that widget. If you want to use @widget again, you need to add a reference to it before removing it from a container, using g_object_ref(). If you don’t want to use @widget again it’s usually more efficient to simply destroy it directly using gtk_widget_destroy() since this will remove it from the container and help break any circular reference count cycles.

resizeChildren
void resizeChildren()
setBorderWidth
void setBorderWidth(uint borderWidth)

Sets the border width of the container.

setFocusChain
void setFocusChain(ListG focusableWidgets)

Sets a focus chain, overriding the one computed automatically by GTK+.

setFocusChild
void setFocusChild(Widget child)

Sets, or unsets if @child is %NULL, the focused child of @container.

setFocusHadjustment
void setFocusHadjustment(Adjustment adjustment)

Hooks up an adjustment to focus handling in a container, so when a child of the container is focused, the adjustment is scrolled to show that widget. This function sets the horizontal alignment. See gtk_scrolled_window_get_hadjustment() for a typical way of obtaining the adjustment and gtk_container_set_focus_vadjustment() for setting the vertical adjustment.

setFocusVadjustment
void setFocusVadjustment(Adjustment adjustment)

Hooks up an adjustment to focus handling in a container, so when a child of the container is focused, the adjustment is scrolled to show that widget. This function sets the vertical alignment. See gtk_scrolled_window_get_vadjustment() for a typical way of obtaining the adjustment and gtk_container_set_focus_hadjustment() for setting the horizontal adjustment.

setReallocateRedraws
void setReallocateRedraws(bool needsRedraws)

Sets the @reallocate_redraws flag of the container to the given value.

setResizeMode
void setResizeMode(GtkResizeMode resizeMode)

Sets the resize mode for the container.

unsetFocusChain
void unsetFocusChain()

Removes a focus chain explicitly set with gtk_container_set_focus_chain().
