Implemented Interfaces

GtkToolPalette implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

A GtkToolPalette allows you to add GtkToolItems to a palette-like container with different categories and drag and drop support.

A GtkToolPalette is created with a call to gtk_tool_palette_new().

GtkToolItems cannot be added directly to a GtkToolPalette - instead they are added to a GtkToolItemGroup which can than be added to a GtkToolPalette. To add a GtkToolItemGroup to a GtkToolPalette, use gtk_container_add().

GtkWidget *palette, *group;
GtkToolItem *item;

palette = gtk_tool_palette_new ();
group = gtk_tool_item_group_new (_("Test Category"));
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (palette), group);

item = gtk_tool_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_OK);
gtk_tool_item_group_insert (GTK_TOOL_ITEM_GROUP (group), item, -1);

The easiest way to use drag and drop with GtkToolPalette is to call gtk_tool_palette_add_drag_dest() with the desired drag source palette and the desired drag target widget . Then gtk_tool_palette_get_drag_item() can be used to get the dragged item in the “drag-data-received” signal handler of the drag target.

Property Details

The “icon-size” property

  “icon-size”                GtkIconSize

The size of the icons in a tool palette is normally determined by the “toolbar-icon-size” setting. When this property is set, it overrides the setting.

This should only be used for special-purpose tool palettes, normal application tool palettes should respect the user preferences for the size of icons.

Owner: GtkToolPalette

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR

Since: 2.20


The “icon-size-set” property

  “icon-size-set”            gboolean

Is TRUE if the “icon-size” property has been set.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since: 2.20

               gpointer        user_data)

Set the scroll adjustments for the viewport. Usually scrolled containers like GtkScrolledWindow will emit this signal to connect two instances of GtkScrollbar to the scroll directions of the GtkToolpalette.

Parameters

widget

the GtkToolPalette that received the signal

 

hadjustment

The horizontal adjustment

 

vadjustment

The vertical adjustment
