Frame

The frame widget is a bin that surrounds its child with a decorative frame and an optional label. If present, the label is drawn in a gap in the top side of the frame. The position of the label can be controlled with Frame.setLabelAlign.

GtkFrame as GtkBuildable

The GtkFrame implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing a child in the label position by specifying “label” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element. A normal content child can be specified without specifying a <child> type attribute.

An example of a UI definition fragment with GtkFrame: |[ <object class="GtkFrame"> <child type="label"> <object class="GtkLabel" id="frame-label"/> </child> <child> <object class="GtkEntry" id="frame-content"/> </child> </object>

GtkFrame has a main CSS node named “frame” and a subnode named “border”. The “border” node is used to draw the visible border. You can set the appearance of the border using CSS properties like “border-style” on the “border” node.

The border node can be given the style class “.flat”, which is used by themes to disable drawing of the border. To do this from code, call Frame.setShadowType with GTK_SHADOW_NONE to add the “.flat” class or any other shadow type to remove it.

Constructors

this this(GtkFrame* gtkFrame, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(Widget widget, string label): Creates frame with label and set it's child widget
this this(string label): Creates a new gtk.Frame, with optional label label. If label is NULL, the label is omitted.

Functions

getFrameStruct GtkFrame* getFrameStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getLabel string getLabel(): If the frame’s label widget is a gtk.Label, returns the text in the label widget. (The frame will have a gtk.Label for the label widget if a non-NULL argument was passed to Frame.new.)
getLabelAlign void getLabelAlign(float xalign, float yalign): Retrieves the X and Y alignment of the frame’s label. See Frame.setLabelAlign.
getLabelWidget Widget getLabelWidget(): Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See Frame.setLabelWidget.
getShadowType GtkShadowType getShadowType(): Retrieves the shadow type of the frame. See Frame.setShadowType.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
setLabel void setLabel(string label): Removes the current label-widget. If label is not NULL, creates a new gtk.Label with that text and adds it as the label-widget.
setLabelAlign void setLabelAlign(float xalign, float yalign): Sets the alignment of the frame widget’s label. The default values for a newly created frame are 0.0 and 0.5.
setLabelWidget void setLabelWidget(Widget labelWidget): Sets the label-widget for the frame. This is the widget that will appear embedded in the top edge of the frame as a title.
setShadowType void setShadowType(GtkShadowType type): Sets the shadow-type for frame, i.e. whether it is drawn without (GTK_SHADOW_NONE) or with (other values) a visible border. Values other than GTK_SHADOW_NONE are treated identically by GtkFrame. The chosen type is applied by removing or adding the .flat class to the CSS node named border.

Variables

From Bin

gtkBin GtkBin* gtkBin;: the main Gtk struct
getBinStruct GtkBin* getBinStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getType GType getType()
getChild Widget getChild(): Gets the child of the gtk.Bin, or NULL if the bin contains no child widget. The returned widget does not have a reference added, so you do not need to unref it.
