Interfaces

GtkButton implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkActivatable.

Detailed 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.

Structures

GtkButton

This should not be accessed directly. Use the accessor functions below.

Convenient Construction

gtkButton is the result of collapsing the constructors of GtkButton (gtkButtonNew, gtkButtonNewWithLabel, gtkButtonNewFromStock, gtkButtonNewWithMnemonic) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.

Signals

activate(widget, user.data)

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 gtkButtonClicked signal.

widget

the object which received the signal.

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

clicked(button, user.data)

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

button

the object that received the signal

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

enter(button, user.data)

Emitted when the pointer enters the button.

button

the object that received the signal

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

leave(button, user.data)

Emitted when the pointer leaves the button.

button

the object that received the signal

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

pressed(button, user.data)

Emitted when the button is pressed.

button

the object that received the signal

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

released(button, user.data)

Emitted when the button is released.

button

the object that received the signal

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.
