Gtk::AboutDialog* wrap (GtkAboutDialog* object, bool take_copy=false)
 A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Detailed Description

The AboutDialog offers a simple way to display information about a program like its logo, name, copyright, website and license.

It is also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators and artists who have worked on the program. An about dialog is typically opened when the user selects the About option from the Help menu. All parts of the dialog are optional.

About dialogs often contain links and email addresses. Gtk::AboutDialog supports this by offering global hooks, which are called when the user clicks on a link or email address, see set_email_hook() and set_url_hook(). Email addresses in the authors, documenters and artists properties are recognized by looking for <user>, URLs are recognized by looking for http://url, with the URL extending to the next space, tab or line break.

An AboutDialog looks like this:

copyright (allow-none) the copyright string.
void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_documenters ( const Glib::StringArrayHandle &  documenters  ) 

Sets the strings which are displayed in the documenters tab of the secondary credits dialog.

license The license information or 0.
void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_logo ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Pixbuf >&  logo  ) 

Sets the pixbuf to be displayed as logo in the about dialog.

If it is 0, the default window icon set with Gtk::Window::set_default_icon() will be used.

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters:
logo A Gdk::Pixbuf, or 0.
void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_logo_icon_name ( const Glib::ustring &  icon_name  ) 

Sets the pixbuf to be displayed as logo in the about dialog.

If it is 0, the default window icon set with Gtk::Window::set_default_icon() will be used.

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters:
icon_name An icon name, or 0.
void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_name ( const Glib::ustring &  name  ) 

Sets the name to display in the about dialog.

If this is not set, it defaults to Glib::get_application_name().

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Deprecated: 2.12: Use set_program_name() instead.

Parameters:
name The program name.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Widget.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_program_name ( const Glib::ustring &  name  ) 

Sets the name to display in the about dialog.

If this is not set, it defaults to Glib::get_application_name().

Parameters:
name The program name.
void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_translator_credits ( const Glib::ustring &  translator_credits  ) 

Sets the translator credits string which is displayed in the translators tab of the secondary credits dialog.

The intended use for this string is to display the translator of the language which is currently used in the user interface. Using gettext(), a simple way to achieve that is to mark the string for translation: |[ gtk_about_dialog_set_translator_credits (about, _("translator-credits")); ]| It is a good idea to use the customary msgid "translator-credits" for this purpose, since translators will already know the purpose of that msgid, and since Gtk::AboutDialog will detect if "translator-credits" is untranslated and hide the tab.

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters:
translator_credits The translator credits.
static void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_url_hook ( const SlotActivateLink &  slot  )  [static]

Installs a global callback to be called whenever the user activates a URL link in an about dialog.

version The version string.
void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_website ( const Glib::ustring &  website  ) 

Sets the URL to use for the website link.

Note that that the hook functions need to be set up before calling this function.

Since gtkmm 2.6:
