Struct LinkButton

pub struct LinkButton { /* private fields */ }

A LinkButton is a button with a hyperlink.

It is useful to show quick links to resources.

A link button is created by calling either new() or with_label(). If using the former, the URI you pass to the constructor is used as a label for the widget.

The URI bound to a LinkButton can be set specifically using set_uri().

By default, LinkButton calls FileLauncher::launch() when the button is clicked. This behaviour can be overridden by connecting to the activate-link signal and returning true from the signal handler.

Shortcuts and Gestures

LinkButton supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

• Shift+F10 or Menu opens the context menu.

Actions

LinkButton defines a set of built-in actions:

• clipboard.copy copies the url to the clipboard.
• menu.popup opens the context menu.

CSS nodes

LinkButton has a single CSS node with name button. To differentiate it from a plain Button, it gets the .link style class.

Accessibility

LinkButton uses the AccessibleRole::Link role.

Signals

activate-link

Emitted each time the LinkButton is clicked.

The default handler will call FileLauncher::launch() with the URI stored inside the uri property.

To override the default behavior, you can connect to the ::activate-link signal and stop the propagation of the signal by returning true from your handler.

Button

activate

Emitted to animate press then release.

This is an action signal. Applications should never connect to this signal, but use the clicked signal.

The default bindings for this signal are all forms of the ␣ and Enter keys.

Action

clicked

Emitted when the button has been activated (pressed and released).

Action

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).
