Struct gtk4::AppChooserButton

pub struct AppChooserButton { /* private fields */ }

👎Deprecated: Since 4.10

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.

Initially, a AppChooserButton selects the first application in its list, which will either be the most-recently used application or, if 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 show-default-item is set, the default application is also included. To let the user chooser other applications, you can set the 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 custom-item-activated signal to be emitted when they are selected.

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

Signals

activate

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.

Action

changed

Emitted when the active application changes.

custom-item-activated

Emitted when a custom item is activated.

Use AppChooserButton::append_custom_item(), to add custom items.

Detailed

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).
