Detailed Description
A widget that creates a signal when clicked on.
This widget is generally used with a signal handler that is called when the button is pressed. It can hold any valid child widget. The most commonly used child is the Gtk::Label.
The Button widget looks like this:
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
| virtual Gtk::Button::~Button | ( | ) | [virtual] |
| Gtk::Button::Button | ( | ) |
Create an empty button.
With an empty button, you can Gtk::Button::add() a widget such as a Gtk::Pixmap or Gtk::Box.
If you just wish to add a Gtk::Label, you may want to use the Gtk::Button(const Glib::ustring& label) ctor directly instead.
| Gtk::Button::Button | ( | const Glib::ustring & | label, | |
| bool | mnemonic = false | |||
| ) | [explicit] |
Simple Push Button with label.
Create a button with the given label inside. You won't be able to add a widget in this button since it already has a Gtk::Label in it
| Gtk::Button::Button | ( | const StockID& | stock_id | ) | [explicit] |
Creates a new Button containing the image and text from a stock item.
Stock ids have identifiers like Gtk::Stock::OK and Gtk::Stock::APPLY.
- Parameters:
-
stock_id The stock item.
