Struct gtk4::ComboBoxText[][src]

pub struct ComboBoxText(_);
Expand description

A ComboBoxText is a simple variant of ComboBox for text-only use cases.

An example GtkComboBoxText

ComboBoxText hides the model-view complexity of ComboBox.

To create a ComboBoxText, use new() or with_entry().

You can add items to a ComboBoxText with append_text(), insert_text() or prepend_text() and remove options with remove().

If the ComboBoxText contains an entry (via the property::ComboBox::has-entry property), its contents can be retrieved using active_text().

You should not call ComboBoxExt::set_model() or attempt to pack more cells into this combo box via its CellLayout interface.

GtkComboBoxText as GtkBuildable

The ComboBoxText implementation of the Buildable interface supports adding items directly using the <items> element and specifying <item> elements for each item. Each <item> element can specify the “id” corresponding to the appended text and also supports the regular translation attributes “translatable”, “context” and “comments”.

Here is a UI definition fragment specifying ComboBoxText items:

<object class="GtkComboBoxText">
  <items>
    <item translatable="yes" id="factory">Factory</item>
    <item translatable="yes" id="home">Home</item>
    <item translatable="yes" id="subway">Subway</item>
  </items>
</object>

CSS nodes

combobox
╰── box.linked
    ├── entry.combo
    ├── button.combo
    ╰── window.popup

ComboBoxText has a single CSS node with name combobox. It adds the style class .combo to the main CSS nodes of its entry and button children, and the .linked class to the node of its internal box.

Implementations

Creates a new ComboBoxText.

Returns

A new ComboBoxText

pub fn with_entry() -> ComboBoxText

Creates a new ComboBoxText with an entry.

Returns

a new ComboBoxText

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

This method returns an instance of ComboBoxTextBuilder which can be used to create ComboBoxText objects.

Appends text to the list of strings stored in self.

If id is non-None then it is used as the ID of the row.

This is the same as calling insert() with a position of -1.

id

a string ID for this value

text

A string

Appends text to the list of strings stored in self.

This is the same as calling insert_text() with a position of -1.

text

A string

Returns the currently active string in self.

If no row is currently selected, None is returned. If self contains an entry, this function will return its contents (which will not necessarily be an item from the list).

Returns

a newly allocated string containing the currently active text. Must be freed with g_free().

Inserts text at position in the list of strings stored in self.

If id is non-None then it is used as the ID of the row. See property::ComboBox::id-column.

If position is negative then text is appended.

position

An index to insert text

id

a string ID for this value

text

A string to display

Inserts text at position in the list of strings stored in self.

If position is negative then text is appended.

This is the same as calling insert() with a None ID string.

position

An index to insert text

text

A string

Prepends text to the list of strings stored in self.

If id is non-None then it is used as the ID of the row.

This is the same as calling insert() with a position of 0.

id

a string ID for this value

text

a string

Prepends text to the list of strings stored in self.

This is the same as calling insert_text() with a position of 0.

text

A string

Removes the string at position from self.

position

Index of the item to remove

Removes all the text entries from the combo box.
