Detailed Description

A widget that displays a small to medium amount of text.

A simple setable widget for holding a Glib::ustring.

Key values are the codes which are sent whenever a key is pressed or released. The complete list of key values can be found in the gdk/gdkkeysyms.h header file. They are prefixed with GDK_KEY_.

The Label widget looks like this:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gtk::Label::Label ( Label&& src )

noexcept

Gtk::Label::Label ( const Label& )

delete

Gtk::Label::~Label ( )

overridenoexcept

Gtk::Label::Label ( )

Gtk::Label::Label	(	const Glib::ustring &	label,
		bool	mnemonic = `false`
	)

explicit

Gtk::Label::Label	(	const Glib::ustring &	label,
		Align	halign,
		Align	valign = `Align::CENTER`,
		bool	mnemonic = `false`
	)

This constructor is a shortcut to create a Label with Widget alignment properties different from the default Align::FILL.

Gtk::Label label(text, h, v, mnemonic);

is equivalent to:

Gtk::Label label(text, mnemonic);
label.set_halign(h);
label.set_valign(v);

Member Function Documentation

Pango::AttrList Gtk::Label::get_attributes ( ) const

Gets the attribute list that was set on the label using set_attributes(), if any.

This function does not reflect attributes that come from the labels markup (see set_markup()). If you want to get the effective attributes for the label, use pango_layout_get_attribute (gtk_label_get_layout (self)).

Returns: The attribute list, or nullptr if none was set.

Glib::ustring Gtk::Label::get_current_uri ( ) const

Returns the URI for the currently active link in the label.

The active link is the one under the mouse pointer or, in a selectable label, the link in which the text cursor is currently positioned.

This function is intended for use in a Gtk::Label::signal_activate_link() handler or for use in a Gtk::Widget::signal_query_tooltip() handler.

Returns: The currently active URI or nullptr if there is none. The string is owned by GTK and must not be freed or modified.

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the label does not have enough room to display the entire string, specified as a Pango::EllipsizeMode.

Note that setting this property to a value other than Pango::EllipsizeMode::NONE has the side-effect that the label requests only enough space to display the ellipsis "...". In particular, this means that ellipsizing labels do not work well in notebook tabs, unless the Gtk::Notebook tab-expand child property is set to true. Other ways to set a label's width are Gtk::Widget::set_size_request() and Gtk::Label::set_width_chars().

Default value: Pango::EllipsizeMode::NONE

See set_selectable(). If the label is not selectable, this function has no effect. If start_offset or end_offset are -1, then the end of the label will be substituted.

Parameters

start_offset	Start offset (in characters not bytes).
end_offset	End offset (in characters not bytes).

void Gtk::Label::select_region ( int start_offset )

Selects a range of characters in the label, from start_offset to the end, if the label is selectable.

See gtk_label_set_selectable(). If the label is not selectable, this function has no effect.

Parameters

start_offset Start offset (in characters not bytes)

void Gtk::Label::set_attributes ( Pango::AttrList & attrs )

Sets a Pango::AttrList; the attributes in the list are applied to the label text.

The attributes set with this function will be applied and merged with any other attributes previously effected by way of the Gtk::Label::property_use_underline() or Gtk::Label::property_use_markup() properties. While it is not recommended to mix markup strings with manually set attributes, if you must; know that the attributes will be applied to the label after the markup string is parsed.

Parameters

attrs A Pango::AttrList, or nullptr.

void Gtk::Label::set_ellipsize ( Pango::EllipsizeMode mode )

Sets the mode used to ellipsize (add an ellipsis: "...") to the text if there is not enough space to render the entire string.

Parameters

mode	A Pango::EllipsizeMode.

void Gtk::Label::set_extra_menu ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::MenuModel > & model )

Sets a menu model to add when constructing the context menu for label.

Parameters

model A Gio::MenuModel.

void Gtk::Label::set_justify ( Justification jtype )

Sets the alignment of the lines in the text of the label relative to each other.

Gtk::Justification::LEFT is the default value when the widget is first created with new(). If you instead want to set the alignment of the label as a whole, use Gtk::Widget::set_halign() instead. set_justify() has no effect on labels containing only a single line.

Parameters

jtype A Gtk::Justification.

void Gtk::Label::set_label ( const Glib::ustring & str )

Sets the text of the label.

The label is interpreted as including embedded underlines and/or Pango markup depending on the values of the Gtk::Label::property_use_underline() and Gtk::Label::property_use_markup() properties.

Parameters

str	The new text to set for the label.

void Gtk::Label::set_lines ( int lines )

Sets the number of lines to which an ellipsized, wrapping label should be limited.

This has no effect if the label is not wrapping or ellipsized. Set this to -1 if you don’t want to limit the number of lines.

Parameters

lines The desired number of lines, or -1.

void Gtk::Label::set_markup ( const Glib::ustring & str )

Parses str which is marked up with the [Pango text markup language][PangoMarkupFormat], setting the label’s text and attribute list based on the parse results.

If the str is external data, you may need to escape it with Glib::markup_escape_text() or Glib::markup_printf_escaped():

[C example ellipted]

This function will set the Gtk::Label::property_use_markup() property to true as a side effect.

If you set the label contents using the Gtk::Label::property_label() property you should also ensure that you set the Gtk::Label::property_use_markup() property accordingly.
