Struct Switch

pub struct Switch { /* private fields */ }

Switch is a “light switch” that has two states: on or off.

The user can control which state should be active by clicking the empty area, or by dragging the slider.

Switch can also express situations where the underlying state changes with a delay. In this case, the slider position indicates the user’s recent change (represented by the active property), while the trough color indicates the present underlying state (represented by the state property).

See state-set for details.

Shortcuts and Gestures

Switch supports pan and drag gestures to move the slider.

CSS nodes

switch
├── image
├── image
╰── slider

Switch has four css nodes, the main node with the name switch and subnodes for the slider and the on and off images. Neither of them is using any style classes.

Accessibility

Switch uses the AccessibleRole::Switch role.

Properties

active

Whether the Switch widget is in its on or off state.

Readable | Writeable

state

The backend state that is controlled by the switch.

Applications should usually set the active property, except when indicating a change to the backend state which occurs separately from the user’s interaction.

See state-set for details.

Widget

can-focus

Whether the widget or any of its descendents can accept the input focus.

This property is meant to be set by widget implementations, typically in their instance init function.

Readable | Writeable

can-target

Whether the widget can receive pointer events.

Readable | Writeable

css-classes

A list of css classes applied to this widget.

Readable | Writeable

This is a convenience property which will take care of getting the tooltip shown if the given string is not None: has-tooltip will automatically be set to true and there will be taken care of query-tooltip in the default signal handler.

Note that if both tooltip-text and tooltip-markup are set, the last one wins.

Signals

activate

Emitted to animate the switch.

Applications should never connect to this signal, but use the active property.

Action

state-set

Emitted to change the underlying state.

The ::state-set signal is emitted when the user changes the switch position. The default handler calls Switch::set_state() with the value of @state.

To implement delayed state change, applications can connect to this signal, initiate the change of the underlying state, and call Switch::set_state() when the underlying state change is complete. The signal handler should return true to prevent the default handler from running.

Widget

destroy

Signals that all holders of a reference to the widget should release the reference that they hold.

May result in finalization of the widget if all references are released.

This signal is not suitable for saving widget state.

direction-changed

Emitted when the text direction of a widget changes.

hide

Emitted when @widget is hidden.

keynav-failed

Emitted if keyboard navigation fails.

See WidgetExt::keynav_failed() for details.

map

Emitted when @widget is going to be mapped.

A widget is mapped when the widget is visible (which is controlled with visible) and all its parents up to the toplevel widget are also visible.

The ::map signal can be used to determine whether a widget will be drawn, for instance it can resume an animation that was stopped during the emission of unmap.

mnemonic-activate

Emitted when a widget is activated via a mnemonic.

The default handler for this signal activates @widget if @group_cycling is false, or just makes @widget grab focus if @group_cycling is true.

move-focus

Emitted when the focus is moved.

The ::move-focus signal is a keybinding signal.

The default bindings for this signal are Tab to move forward, and Shift+Tab to move backward.

Action

query-tooltip

Emitted when the widget’s tooltip is about to be shown.

This happens when the has-tooltip property is true and the hover timeout has expired with the cursor hovering “above” @widget; or emitted when @widget got focus in keyboard mode.

Using the given coordinates, the signal handler should determine whether a tooltip should be shown for @widget. If this is the case true should be returned, false otherwise. Note that if @keyboard_mode is true, the values of @x and @y are undefined and should not be used.

The signal handler is free to manipulate @tooltip with the therefore destined function calls.

realize

Emitted when @widget is associated with a gdk::Surface.

This means that WidgetExt::realize() has been called or the widget has been mapped (that is, it is going to be drawn).

show

Emitted when @widget is shown.

state-flags-changed

Emitted when the widget state changes.

See WidgetExt::state_flags().

unmap

Emitted when @widget is going to be unmapped.

A widget is unmapped when either it or any of its parents up to the toplevel widget have been set as hidden.

As ::unmap indicates that a widget will not be shown any longer, it can be used to, for example, stop an animation on the widget.

unrealize

Emitted when the gdk::Surface associated with @widget is destroyed.

This means that WidgetExt::unrealize() has been called or the widget has been unmapped (that is, it is going to be hidden).

Implementations

impl Switch

pub fn new() -> Switch

Creates a new Switch widget.

Returns

the newly created Switch instance

pub fn builder() -> SwitchBuilder

Creates a new builder-pattern struct instance to construct Switch objects.

This method returns an instance of SwitchBuilder which can be used to create Switch objects.

pub fn is_active(&self) -> bool

Gets whether the Switch is in its “on” or “off” state.

Returns

true if the Switch is active, and false otherwise

pub fn state(&self) -> bool

Gets the underlying state of the Switch.

Returns

the underlying state

pub fn set_active(&self, is_active: bool)

Changes the state of @self to the desired one.

is_active

true if @self should be active, and false otherwise

pub fn set_state(&self, state: bool)

Sets the underlying state of the Switch.

This function is typically called from a state-set signal handler in order to set up delayed state changes.

See state-set for details.

state

the new state

pub fn connect_activate<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>(&self, f: F) -> SignalHandlerId

Emitted to animate the switch.

Applications should never connect to this signal, but use the active property.

pub fn emit_activate(&self)

pub fn connect_state_set<F: Fn(&Self, bool) -> Propagation + 'static>( &self, f: F, ) -> SignalHandlerId

Emitted to change the underlying state.

The ::state-set signal is emitted when the user changes the switch position. The default handler calls set_state() with the value of @state.

To implement delayed state change, applications can connect to this signal, initiate the change of the underlying state, and call set_state() when the underlying state change is complete. The signal handler should return true to prevent the default handler from running.

state

Returns

true to stop the signal emission
