Description

A Expander allows the user to hide or show its child by clicking on an expander triangle similar to the triangles used in a TreeView.

Normally you use an expander as you would use any other descendant of Bin; you create the child widget and use containerAdd to add it to the expander. When the expander is toggled, it will take care of showing and hiding the child automatically.

Special Usage

There are situations in which you may prefer to show and hide the expanded widget yourself, such as when you want to actually create the widget at expansion time. In this case, create a Expander but do not add a child to it. The expander widget has an Expander:expanded property which can be used to monitor its expansion state. You should watch this property with a signal connection as follows:

C code

static void
expander_callback (GObject    *object,
                   GParamSpec *param_spec,
                   gpointer    user_data)
{
  GtkExpander *expander;

  expander = GTK_EXPANDER (object);

  if (gtk_expander_get_expanded (expander))
    {
      // Show or create widgets
    }
  else
    {
      // Hide or destroy widgets
    }
}

static void
create_expander (void)
{
  GtkWidget *expander = gtk_expander_new_with_mnemonic ("_More Options");
  g_signal_connect (expander, "notify::expanded",
                    G_CALLBACK (expander_callback), NULL);

  // ...
}

GtkExpander as GtkBuildable

The GtkExpander 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 GtkExpander: > >class="GtkExpander" > type="label" > class="GtkLabel" id="expander-label"/ > /child > child > class="GtkEntry" id="expander-content"/ > /child >/object

CSS nodes

plain code

expander
├── title
│   ├── arrow
│   ╰── <label widget>
╰── <child>

GtkExpander has three CSS nodes, the main node with the name expander, a subnode with name title and node below it with name arrow. The arrow of an expander that is showing its child gets the :checked pseudoclass added to it.

Methods

getExpanded

expanderGetExpanded Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)
=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`
-> m Bool	Returns: the current state of the expander

Queries a Expander and returns its current state. Returns True if the child widget is revealed.

See expanderSetExpanded.

Since: 2.4

getLabel

expanderGetLabel Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)
=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`
-> m (Maybe Text)	Returns: The text of the label widget. This string is owned by the widget and must not be modified or freed.

Fetches the text from a label widget including any embedded underlines indicating mnemonics and Pango markup, as set by expanderSetLabel. If the label text has not been set the return value will be Nothing. This will be the case if you create an empty button with buttonNew to use as a container.

Note that this function behaved differently in versions prior to 2.14 and used to return the label text stripped of embedded underlines indicating mnemonics and Pango markup. This problem can be avoided by fetching the label text directly from the label widget.

Since: 2.4

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)
=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`

Returns whether the label widget will fill all available horizontal space allocated to expander.

Since: 2.22

getLabelWidget

expanderGetLabelWidget Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)
=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`

Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See expanderSetLabelWidget.

Since: 2.4

getResizeToplevel

expanderGetResizeToplevel Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)
=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`

=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`
-> m Bool	Returns: `True` if the label’s text will be parsed for markup

Returns whether the label’s text is interpreted as marked up with the [Pango text markup language][PangoMarkupFormat]. See expanderSetUseMarkup.

Since: 2.4

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)
=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`

-> m Expander	Returns: a new `Expander` widget.

Creates a new expander using label as the text of the label. If characters in label are preceded by an underscore, they are underlined. If you need a literal underscore character in a label, use “__” (two underscores). The first underlined character represents a keyboard accelerator called a mnemonic. Pressing Alt and that key activates the button.

Since: 2.4

setExpanded

expanderSetExpanded Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsExpander a)
=> a	`expander`: a `Expander`
-> Bool	`expanded`: whether the child widget is revealed
