Struct gtk4::DropDown[][src]

pub struct DropDown(_);
Expand description

DropDown is a widget that allows the user to choose an item from a list of options.

An example GtkDropDown

The DropDown displays the selected choice.

The options are given to DropDown in the form of GListModel and how the individual options are represented is determined by a ListItemFactory. The default factory displays simple strings.

DropDown knows how to obtain strings from the items in a StringList; for other models, you have to provide an expression to find the strings via set_expression().

DropDown can optionally allow search in the popup, which is useful if the list of options is long. To enable the search entry, use set_enable_search().

CSS nodes

DropDown has a single CSS node with name dropdown, with the button and popover nodes as children.

Accessibility

DropDown uses the AccessibleRole::ComboBox role.

Implements

WidgetExt, glib::ObjectExt, AccessibleExt, BuildableExt, ConstraintTargetExt, WidgetExtManual, AccessibleExtManual

Implementations

Creates a new DropDown that is populated with the strings.

strings

The strings to put in the dropdown

Returns

a new DropDown

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

This method returns an instance of DropDownBuilder which can be used to create DropDown objects.

Returns whether search is enabled.

Returns

true if the popup includes a search entry

Gets the expression set that is used to obtain strings from items.

See set_expression().

Returns

a Expression

Gets the factory that’s currently used to populate list items.

The factory returned by this function is always used for the item in the button. It is also used for items in the popup if property::DropDown::list-factory is not set.

Returns

The factory in use

Gets the factory that’s currently used to populate list items in the popup.

Returns

The factory in use

Gets the model that provides the displayed items.

Returns

The model in use

Gets the position of the selected item.

Returns

the position of the selected item, or GTK_INVALID_LIST_POSITION if not item is selected

Gets the selected item. If no item is selected, None is returned.

Returns

The selected item

Sets whether a search entry will be shown in the popup that allows to search for items in the list.

Note that property::DropDown::expression must be set for search to work.

whether to enable search

Sets the ListItemFactory to use for populating list items.

factory

the factory to use

Sets the ListItemFactory to use for populating list items in the popup.

factory

the factory to use

Sets the GListModel to use.

model

the model to use

Selects the item at the given position.

position

the position of the item to select, or GTK_INVALID_LIST_POSITION

Creates a new DropDown.

You may want to call set_factory() to set up a way to map its items to widgets.

model

the model to use

expression

the expression to use

Returns

a new DropDown

Sets the expression that gets evaluated to obtain strings from items.

This is used for search in the popup. The expression must have a value type of G_TYPE_STRING.

expression
