Detailed Description

A GtkToolButton C++ wrapper class.

ToolButton is a ToolItem that contains a button. A ToolButton can be constructed using a custom icon widget or a stock item.

The label of a ToolButton is determined by the properties "label_widget", "label", and "stock_id". If "label_widget" is set, then that widget is used as the label. Otherwise, if "label" is set, that string is used as the label. Otherwise, if "stock_id" is set, the label is determined by the stock item. Otherwise, the button does not have a label.

The icon of a ToolButton is determined by the properties "icon_widget" and "stock_id". If "icon_widget" is set, then that widget is used as the icon. Otherwise, if "stock_id" is set, the icon is determined by the stock item. Otherwise, the button does not have an icon.

String Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::get_label (   )  const

Gets the label used by the tool button, or a null String if the tool button doesn't have a label, or uses the label from a stock item. Returns: The label, or a null String.

Widget* Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::get_label_widget (   )  const

Gets the the widget used as label on the button (see set_label_widget()). Returns: The widget used as the label on the button, or null.

String Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::get_stock_id (   )  const

Determines the ID of the stock item (see set_stock_id()). Returns: The ID of the stock item for the button.

bool Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::get_use_underline (   )  const

Determines whether underscores in the label property are used as mnemonics on menu items on the overflow menu (see set_use_underline()). Returns: true if underscores in the label property are used as mnemonics.

void Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::set_contents (  Widget &  icon_widget, const String &  label, bool  use_underline = false )

Sets icon_widget as the widget used as the icon and label as the label used for the tool button. Parameters: icon_widget  The widget used as the icon. label  A string that will be used as label, or null. use_underline  Whether the button label has the mnemonic form "_Open" This convenience method is equivalent to calling set_icon_widget() and set_label() separately. It also calls show() on the icon_widget.

void Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::set_icon_widget (  Widget *  icon_widget  )

Sets icon_widget as the widget used as the icon on the button. Parameters: icon_widget  The widget used as the icon, or null. If icon_widget is null the icon is determined by the 'stock_id' property. If the 'stock_id' property is also null, the button will not have an icon.

void Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::set_label (  const String &  label, bool  use_underline = false )

Sets label as the label used for the tool button. Parameters: label  A string that will be used as label, or null. use_underline  Whether the button label has the mnemonic form "_Open" This method sets the 'label' property. The label property only has an effect if not overridden by a non-null 'label_widget' property. If both the 'label_widget' and 'label' properties are null, the label is determined by the 'stock_id' property. If the 'stock_id' property is also null, the button will not have a label.

void Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::set_label_widget (  Widget *  label_widget  )

Sets label_widget as the widget used as the label for the button. Parameters: label_widget  The widget used as the label, or null. If label_widget is null the 'label' property is used as the label. If 'label' is also null, the label in the stock item determined by the 'stock_id' property is used as the label. If 'stock_id' is also null, the button does not have a label.

void Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::set_stock_id (  const StockId &  stock_id  )

Sets the ID of the stock item. Parameters: stock_id  The ID of the stock item (such as Gtk::Stock::OK and Gtk::Stock::APPLY). The 'stock_id' property only has an effect if not overridden by non-null 'label' and 'icon_widget' properties.

void Xfc::Gtk::ToolButton::set_use_underline (  bool  use_underline  )

If set, an underline in the label property indicates that the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key in the overflow menu. Parameters: use_underline  Whether the button label has the mnemonic form "_Open" For example, if the label property is "_Open" and use_underline is true, the label on the tool button will be "Open" and the item on the overflow menu will have an underlined 'O'. Labels shown on tool buttons never have mnemonics on them; this property only affects the menu item on the overflow menu.
