Struct gtk4::AppChooserButton

source ·
#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct AppChooserButton { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

The application selection widgets should be implemented according to the design of each platform and/or application requiring them. The AppChooserButton lets the user select an application.

An example GtkAppChooserButton

Initially, a AppChooserButton selects the first application in its list, which will either be the most-recently used application or, if property::AppChooserButton::show-default-item is true, the default application.

The list of applications shown in a AppChooserButton includes the recommended applications for the given content type. When property::AppChooserButton::show-default-item is set, the default application is also included. To let the user chooser other applications, you can set the property::AppChooserButton::show-dialog-item property, which allows to open a full AppChooserDialog.

It is possible to add custom items to the list, using append_custom_item(). These items cause the signal::AppChooserButton::custom-item-activated signal to be emitted when they are selected.

To track changes in the selected application, use the signal::AppChooserButton::changed signal.

CSS nodes

AppChooserButton has a single CSS node with the name “appchooserbutton”.

Implementations§

Creates a new AppChooserButton for applications that can handle content of the given type.

Deprecated since 4.10

This widget will be removed in GTK 5

content_type

the content type to show applications for

Returns

a newly created AppChooserButton

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

This method returns an instance of AppChooserButtonBuilder which can be used to create AppChooserButton objects.

Appends a custom item to the list of applications that is shown in the popup.

The item name must be unique per-widget. Clients can use the provided name as a detail for the signal::AppChooserButton::custom-item-activated signal, to add a callback for the activation of a particular custom item in the list.

See also append_separator().

This widget will be removed in GTK 5

Returns

the value of property::AppChooserButton::show-dialog-item

Selects a custom item.

See append_custom_item().

Use AppChooserExt::refresh() to bring the selection to its initial state.

Deprecated since 4.10

This widget will be removed in GTK 5

name

the name of the custom item

Sets the text to display at the top of the dialog.

If the heading is not set, the dialog displays a default text.

Deprecated since 4.10

This widget will be removed in GTK 5

heading

a string containing Pango markup

Sets whether the dialog should be modal.

Deprecated since 4.10

This widget will be removed in GTK 5

true to make the dialog modal

Sets whether the dropdown menu of this button should show the default application for the given content type at top.

Deprecated since 4.10

This widget will be removed in GTK 5

setting

the new value for property::AppChooserButton::show-default-item

Sets whether the dropdown menu of this button should show an entry to trigger a AppChooserDialog.

Deprecated since 4.10

This widget will be removed in GTK 5

setting

the new value for property::AppChooserButton::show-dialog-item

Available on crate feature v4_4 only.

Emitted to when the button is activated.

The ::activate signal on AppChooserButton is an action signal and emitting it causes the button to pop up its dialog.

Available on crate feature v4_4 only.

Emitted when the active application changes.

Emitted when a custom item is activated.

Use append_custom_item(), to add custom items.

item_name

the name of the activated item
