Description
GtkInfoBar is a widget that can be used to show messages to the user without showing a dialog. It is often temporarily shown at the top or bottom of a document. In contrast to GtkDialog, which has a action area at the bottom, GtkInfoBar has an action area at the side.
The API of GtkInfoBar is very similar to GtkDialog, allowing you
to add buttons to the action area with gtk_info_bar_add_button() or
gtk_info_bar_new_with_buttons(). The sensitivity of action widgets
can be controlled with gtk_info_bar_set_response_sensitive().
To add widgets to the main content area of a GtkInfoBar, use
gtk_info_bar_get_content_area() and add your widgets to the container.
Similar to GtkMessageDialog, the contents of a GtkInfoBar can by
classified as error message, warning, informational message, etc,
by using gtk_info_bar_set_message_type(). GTK+ may use the message type
to determine how the message is displayed.
A simple example for using a GtkInfoBar:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 |
// set up info bar GtkWidget *widget; GtkInfoBar *bar; widget = gtk_info_bar_new (); bar = GTK_INFO_BAR (bar); gtk_widget_set_no_show_all (widget, TRUE); message_label = gtk_label_new (""); gtk_widget_show (message_label); content_area = gtk_info_bar_get_content_area (bar); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (content_area), message_label); gtk_info_bar_add_button (bar, _("_OK"), GTK_RESPONSE_OK); g_signal_connect (bar, "response", G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_hide), NULL); gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), widget, 0, 2, 1, 1); ... // show an error message gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL (message_label), message); gtk_info_bar_set_message_type (bar, GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR); gtk_widget_show (bar); |
GtkInfoBar as GtkBuildable
The GtkInfoBar implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the content area and action area as internal children with the names “content_area” and “action_area”.
GtkInfoBar supports a custom <action-widgets> element, which can contain
multiple <action-widget> elements. The “response” attribute specifies a
numeric response, and the content of the element is the id of widget
(which should be a child of the dialogs action_area
).
Functions
gtk_info_bar_new ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_info_bar_new (void);
Creates a new GtkInfoBar object.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_new_with_buttons ()
GtkWidget * gtk_info_bar_new_with_buttons (const gchar *first_button_text,...);
Creates a new GtkInfoBar with buttons. Button text/response ID
pairs should be listed, with a NULL pointer ending the list.
Button text can be either a stock ID such as GTK_STOCK_OK, or
some arbitrary text. A response ID can be any positive number,
or one of the values in the GtkResponseType enumeration. If the
user clicks one of these dialog buttons, GtkInfoBar will emit
the “response” signal with the corresponding response ID.
gtk_info_bar_add_action_widget ()
void gtk_info_bar_add_action_widget (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,GtkWidget *child,gint response_id);
Add an activatable widget to the action area of a GtkInfoBar, connecting a signal handler that will emit the “response” signal on the message area when the widget is activated. The widget is appended to the end of the message areas action area.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_add_button ()
GtkWidget * gtk_info_bar_add_button (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,const gchar *button_text,gint response_id);
Adds a button with the given text and sets things up so that clicking the button will emit the “response” signal with the given response_id. The button is appended to the end of the info bars's action area. The button widget is returned, but usually you don't need it.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_add_buttons ()
void gtk_info_bar_add_buttons (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,const gchar *first_button_text,...);
Adds more buttons, same as calling gtk_info_bar_add_button()
repeatedly. The variable argument list should be NULL-terminated
as with gtk_info_bar_new_with_buttons(). Each button must have both
text and response ID.
Parameters
info_bar |
||
first_button_text |
button text or stock ID |
|
... |
response ID for first button, then more text-response_id pairs,
ending with |
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_set_response_sensitive ()
void gtk_info_bar_set_response_sensitive (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,gint response_id,gboolean setting);
Calls gtk_widget_set_sensitive (widget, setting) for each widget in the info bars’s action area with the given response_id. A convenient way to sensitize/desensitize dialog buttons.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_set_default_response ()
void gtk_info_bar_set_default_response (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,gint response_id);
Sets the last widget in the info bar’s action area with the given response_id as the default widget for the dialog. Pressing “Enter” normally activates the default widget.
Note that this function currently requires info_bar
to
be added to a widget hierarchy.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_response ()
void gtk_info_bar_response (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,gint response_id);
Emits the “response” signal with the given response_id
.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_set_message_type ()
void gtk_info_bar_set_message_type (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,GtkMessageType message_type);
Sets the message type of the message area. GTK+ uses this type to determine what color to use when drawing the message area.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_get_message_type ()
GtkMessageType
gtk_info_bar_get_message_type (GtkInfoBar *info_bar);
Returns the message type of the message area.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_get_action_area ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_info_bar_get_action_area (GtkInfoBar *info_bar);
Returns the action area of info_bar
.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_get_content_area ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_info_bar_get_content_area (GtkInfoBar *info_bar);
Returns the content area of info_bar
.
Since: 2.18
gtk_info_bar_get_show_close_button ()
gboolean
gtk_info_bar_get_show_close_button (GtkInfoBar *info_bar);
Returns whether the widget will display a standard close button.
Since: 3.10
gtk_info_bar_set_show_close_button ()
void gtk_info_bar_set_show_close_button (GtkInfoBar *info_bar,gboolean setting);
If true, a standard close button is shown. When clicked it emits
the response GTK_RESPONSE_CLOSE.
Since: 3.10
