LinkButton

A GtkLinkButton is a gtk.Button with a hyperlink, similar to the one used by web browsers, which triggers an action when clicked. It is useful to show quick links to resources.

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

The URI bound to a GtkLinkButton can be set specifically using LinkButton.setUri, and retrieved using LinkButton.getUri.

By default, GtkLinkButton calls gtk_show_uri_on_window() when the button is clicked. This behaviour can be overridden by connecting to the activate-link signal and returning TRUE from the signal handler.

CSS nodes

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

Constructors

this
this(GtkLinkButton* gtkLinkButton, bool ownedRef)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

this
this(string uri)

Creates a new gtk.LinkButton with the URI as its text.

this
this(string uri, string label)

Creates a new gtk.LinkButton containing a label.

Functions

addOnActivateLink
gulong addOnActivateLink(bool delegate(LinkButton) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::activate-link signal is emitted each time the gtk.LinkButton has been clicked.

getLinkButtonStruct
GtkLinkButton* getLinkButtonStruct(bool transferOwnership)

Get the main Gtk struct

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getUri
string getUri()

Retrieves the URI set using LinkButton.setUri.

getVisited
bool getVisited()

Retrieves the “visited” state of the URI where the gtk.LinkButton points. The button becomes visited when it is clicked. If the URI is changed on the button, the “visited” state is unset again.

setUri
void setUri(string uri)

Sets uri as the URI where the gtk.LinkButton points. As a side-effect this unsets the “visited” state of the button.

setVisited
void setVisited(bool visited)

Sets the “visited” state of the URI where the gtk.LinkButton points. See LinkButton.getVisited for more details.

setIconSize
void setIconSize(IconSize iconSize)
getIconSize
IconSize getIconSize()
getType
GType getType()
clicked
void clicked()

Emits a clicked signal to the given gtk.Button

enter
void enter()

Emits a enter signal to the given gtk.Button

getAlignment
void getAlignment(float xalign, float yalign)

Gets the alignment of the child in the button.

getAlwaysShowImage
bool getAlwaysShowImage()

Returns whether the button will ignore the gtk-button-images setting and always show the image, if available.

getEventWindow
Window getEventWindow()

Returns the button’s event window if it is realized, NULL otherwise. This function should be rarely needed.

getFocusOnClick
bool getFocusOnClick()

Returns whether the button grabs focus when it is clicked with the mouse. See Button.setFocusOnClick.

getImage
Widget getImage()

Gets the widget that is currenty set as the image of button. This may have been explicitly set by Button.setImage or constructed by Button.newFromStock.

getImagePosition
GtkPositionType getImagePosition()

Gets the position of the image relative to the text inside the button.

getLabel
string getLabel()

Fetches the text from the label of the button, as set by Button.setLabel. If the label text has not been set the return value will be NULL. This will be the case if you create an empty button with Button.new to use as a container.

getRelief
GtkReliefStyle getRelief()

Returns the current relief style of the given gtk.Button

getUseStock
bool getUseStock()

Returns whether the button label is a stock item.

getUseUnderline
bool getUseUnderline()

Returns whether an embedded underline in the button label indicates a mnemonic. See gtk_button_set_use_underline ().

leave
void leave()

Emits a leave signal to the given gtk.Button

pressed
void pressed()

Emits a pressed signal to the given gtk.Button

released
void released()

Emits a released signal to the given gtk.Button

setAlignment
void setAlignment(float xalign, float yalign)

Sets the alignment of the child. This property has no effect unless the child is a gtk.Misc or a gtk.Alignment

setAlwaysShowImage
void setAlwaysShowImage(bool alwaysShow)

If TRUE, the button will ignore the gtk-button-images setting and always show the image, if available.

setFocusOnClick
void setFocusOnClick(bool focusOnClick)

Sets whether the button will grab focus when it is clicked with the mouse. Making mouse clicks not grab focus is useful in places like toolbars where you don’t want the keyboard focus removed from the main area of the application.

setImage
void setImage(Widget image)

Set the image of button to the given widget. The image will be displayed if the label text is NULL or if always-show-image is TRUE. You don’t have to call Widget.show on image yourself.

setImagePosition
void setImagePosition(GtkPositionType position)

Sets the position of the image relative to the text inside the button.

setLabel
void setLabel(string label)

Sets the text of the label of the button to str. This text is also used to select the stock item if Button.setUseStock is used.

setRelief
void setRelief(GtkReliefStyle relief)

Sets the relief style of the edges of the given gtk.Button widget. Two styles exist, GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL and GTK_RELIEF_NONE. The default style is, as one can guess, GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL. The deprecated value GTK_RELIEF_HALF behaves the same as GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL.

setUseStock
void setUseStock(bool useStock)

If TRUE, the label set on the button is used as a stock id to select the stock item for the button.

setUseUnderline
void setUseUnderline(bool useUnderline)

If true, an underline in the text of the button label indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key.

addOnActivate
gulong addOnActivate(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::activate signal on GtkButton is an action signal and emitting it causes the button to animate press then release. Applications should never connect to this signal, but use the clicked signal.

addOnClicked
gulong addOnClicked(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

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

addOnEnter
gulong addOnEnter(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Emitted when the pointer enters the button.

addOnLeave
gulong addOnLeave(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Emitted when the pointer leaves the button.

addOnPressed
gulong addOnPressed(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Emitted when the button is pressed.

addOnReleased
gulong addOnReleased(void delegate(Button) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Emitted when the button is released.
