List of all members.

Detailed Description

A Gtk::ToggleButton will remain 'pressed-in' when clicked.

Clicking again will cause the toggle button to return to it's normal state. The state of a Gtk::ToggleButton can be set specifically using set_active(), and retrieved using get_active(). To simply switch the state of a toggle button, use toggled().


Public Member Functions

virtual ~ToggleButton ()
GtkToggleButton* gobj ()
 Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

const GtkToggleButton* gobj () const
 Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

 ToggleButton ()
 Create an empty toggle button.

 ToggleButton (const Glib::ustring& label, bool mnemonic=false)
 Create a toggle button with a label.

void set_mode (bool draw_indicator=true)
 Sets whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label.

bool get_mode () const
 Retrieves whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label.

void set_active (bool is_active=true)
bool get_active () const
void set_inconsistent (bool setting=true)
 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.

bool get_inconsistent () const
 Gets the value set by set_inconsistent().

void toggled ()
Glib::SignalProxy0<void> signal_toggled ()
Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> property_active ()
 You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::ToggleButton::~ToggleButton (  )  [virtual]
 

Gtk::ToggleButton::ToggleButton (  ) 
 

Create an empty toggle button.

With an empty button, you can Gtk::Button::add() a widget such as a Gtk::Pixmap or Gtk::Box.

If you just wish to add a Gtk::Label, you may want to use the Gtk::ToggleButton(const Glib::ustring& label) constructor directly instead.

Gtk::ToggleButton::ToggleButton ( const Glib::ustring label,
bool  mnemonic = false
[explicit]
 

Create a toggle button with a label.

You won't be able to add a widget to this button since it already contains a Gtk::Label


Member Function Documentation

bool Gtk::ToggleButton::get_active (  )  const
 

bool Gtk::ToggleButton::get_inconsistent (  )  const
 

Gets the value set by set_inconsistent().

Returns:
true if the button is displayed as inconsistent, false otherwise.

bool Gtk::ToggleButton::get_mode (  )  const
 

Retrieves whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label.

See set_mode().

Returns:
true if the togglebutton is drawn as a separate indicator and label.

const GtkToggleButton* Gtk::ToggleButton::gobj (  )  const [inline]
 

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Button.

Reimplemented in Gtk::CheckButton, and Gtk::RadioButton.

GtkToggleButton* Gtk::ToggleButton::gobj (  )  [inline]
 

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Button.

Reimplemented in Gtk::CheckButton, and Gtk::RadioButton.

virtual void Gtk::ToggleButton::on_toggled (  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::ToggleButton::property_active (  ) 
 

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::ToggleButton::property_draw_indicator (  ) 
 

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::ToggleButton::property_inconsistent (  ) 
 

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

void Gtk::ToggleButton::set_active ( bool  is_active = true  ) 
 

void Gtk::ToggleButton::set_inconsistent ( bool  setting = true  ) 
 

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, set_inconsistent() only affects visual appearance, it doesn't affect the semantics of the button.

Parameters:
setting true if state is inconsistent.

void Gtk::ToggleButton::set_mode ( bool  draw_indicator = true  ) 
 

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

This function only effects instances of classes like Gtk::CheckButton and Gtk::RadioButton that derive from Gtk::ToggleButton, not instances of Gtk::ToggleButton itself.

Parameters:
draw_indicator If true, draw the button as a separate indicator and label; if false, draw the button like a normal button.

Glib::SignalProxy0<void> Gtk::ToggleButton::signal_toggled (  ) 
 

Prototype:
void toggled()

void Gtk::ToggleButton::toggled (  )
