Implemented Interfaces

GtkRecentChooserDialog implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkRecentChooser.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

GtkRecentChooserDialog is a dialog box suitable for displaying the recently used documents. This widgets works by putting a GtkRecentChooserWidget inside a GtkDialog. It exposes the GtkRecentChooserIface interface, so you can use all the GtkRecentChooser functions on the recent chooser dialog as well as those for GtkDialog.

Note that GtkRecentChooserDialog does not have any methods of its own. Instead, you should use the functions that work on a GtkRecentChooser.

Typical usage

In the simplest of cases, you can use the following code to use a GtkRecentChooserDialog to select a recently used file:

GtkWidget *dialog;
gint res;

dialog = gtk_recent_chooser_dialog_new ("Recent Documents",
                                        parent_window,
                                        _("_Cancel"),
                                        GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL,
                                        _("_Open"),
                                        GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT,
                                        NULL);

res = gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));
if (res == GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT)
  {
    GtkRecentInfo *info;
    GtkRecentChooser *chooser = GTK_RECENT_CHOOSER (dialog);

    info = gtk_recent_chooser_get_current_item (chooser);
    open_file (gtk_recent_info_get_uri (info));
    gtk_recent_info_unref (info);
  }

gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);

Recently used files are supported since GTK+ 2.10.

Functions

gtk_recent_chooser_dialog_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_recent_chooser_dialog_new (const gchar *title,
                               GtkWindow *parent,
                               const gchar *first_button_text,
                               ...);

Creates a new GtkRecentChooserDialog. This function is analogous to gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons().

Parameters

title	Title of the dialog, or `NULL`.	[allow-none]
parent	Transient parent of the dialog, or `NULL`,.	[allow-none]
first_button_text	stock ID or text to go in the first button, or `NULL`.	[allow-none]
...	response ID for the first button, then additional (button, id) pairs, ending with `NULL`

Returns

a new GtkRecentChooserDialog

Since: 2.10

gtk_recent_chooser_dialog_new_for_manager ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_recent_chooser_dialog_new_for_manager
                               (const gchar *title,
                                GtkWindow *parent,
                                GtkRecentManager *manager,
                                const gchar *first_button_text,
                                ...);

Creates a new GtkRecentChooserDialog with a specified recent manager.

This is useful if you have implemented your own recent manager, or if you have a customized instance of a GtkRecentManager object.

Parameters

title	Title of the dialog, or `NULL`.	[allow-none]
parent	Transient parent of the dialog, or `NULL`,.	[allow-none]
manager	a GtkRecentManager
first_button_text	stock ID or text to go in the first button, or `NULL`.	[allow-none]
...	response ID for the first button, then additional (button, id) pairs, ending with `NULL`

Returns

a new GtkRecentChooserDialog

Since: 2.10
