Description

A tabbed notebook container

Synopsis

Detail

The Notebook widget is a Container whose children are pages that can be switched between using tab labels along one edge.

There are many configuration options for Notebook. Among other things, you can choose on which edge the tabs appear (see notebookSetTabPos), whether, if there are too many tabs to fit the noteobook should be made bigger or scrolling arrows added (see notebookSetScrollable), and whether there will be a popup menu allowing the users to switch pages. (see notebookEnablePopup)

notebookAppendPage Source

Arguments

:: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass child, GlibString string)
=> self
-> child	`child` - the `Widget` to use as the contents of the page.
-> string	`tabLabel` - the label for the page
-> IO Int	returns the index (starting from 0) of the appended page in the notebook, or -1 if function fails

Appends a page to notebook.

The given label will be used for the label widget of the new tab. In case the context menu is enabled, this name will also appear in the popup menu. If you want to specify something else to go in the tab, use notebookAppendPageMenu.

notebookRemovePage Source

Arguments

:: NotebookClass self
=> self
-> Int	`pageNum` - the index of a notebook page, starting from 0. If -1, the last page will be removed.
-> IO ()

Removes a page from the notebook given its index in the notebook.

notebookPageNum :: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass w) => self -> w -> IO (Maybe Int) Source

Query the page the child widget is contained in.

The function returns the page number if the child was found, Nothing otherwise.

Note that due to historical reasons, GtkNotebook refuses to switch to a page unless the child widget is visible. Therefore, it is recommended to show child widgets before adding them to a notebook.

notebookNextPage :: NotebookClass self => self -> IO () Source

data Packing Source

Packing parameters of a widget

The Packing parameter determines how the child behaves in the horizontal or vertical way in an HBox or VBox, respectively. PackNatural means the child is as big as it requests. It will stay at the start or end of a Box if there is more space available. All children packed with PackRepel will be padded on both sides with additional space. PackGrow will increase the size of a widget so that it covers the available space. A menu bar, for instance, should always stay at the top of a window and should only occupy as little space as possible. Hence it should be packed at the start of a VBox with the packing option PackNatural. The working area of a window (e.g. the text area in an editor) should expand when the window is resized. Here the packing option PackGrow is the right choice and it is irrelevant whether the main area is inserted at the start or the end of a box. Finally PackRepel is most useful in a window where no widget can make use of excess space. Examples include a dialog box without list boxes or text fields.

=> self
-> child	`child` - the page
-> tabLabel	`tabLabel` - the tab label widget to use
-> IO ()

Changes the tab label for child.

notebookSetTabLabelText Source

Arguments

:: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass child, GlibString string)
=> self
-> child	`child` - the page
-> string	`tabText` - the label text
-> IO ()

Creates a new label and sets it as the tab label for the page containing child.

notebookSetTabReorderable Source

Arguments

:: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass child)
=> self
-> child	`child` - a child page
-> Bool	`reorderable` - whether the tab is reorderable or not.
-> IO ()

Sets whether the notebook tab can be reordered via drag and drop or not.

Available since Gtk version 2.10

notebookGetTabReorderable Source

Arguments

:: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass child)
=> self
-> child	`child` - the child page
-> IO Bool	return `True` if the tab is reorderable.

Gets whether the tab can be reordered via drag and drop or not.

Available since Gtk version 2.10

notebookSetTabDetachable Source

Arguments

:: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass child)
=> self
-> child	`child` - the child page
-> Bool	`detachable` - whether the tab is detachable or not
-> IO ()

Sets whether the tab can be detached from notebook to another notebook or widget.

Note that 2 notebooks must share a common group identificator (see gtk_notebook_set_group_id()) to allow automatic tabs interchange between them.

If you want a widget to interact with a notebook through DnD (i.e.: accept dragged tabs from it) it must be set as a drop destination and accept the target GTK_NOTEBOOK_TAB. The notebook will fill the selection with a GtkWidget** pointing to the child widget that corresponds to the dropped tab.

If you want a notebook to accept drags from other widgets, you will have to set your own DnD code to do it.

Available since Gtk version 2.10

notebookGetTabDetachable Source

Arguments

:: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass child)
=> self
-> child	`child` - the child page
-> IO Bool	return `True` if the tab is detachable.

Arguments

:: (NotebookClass self, WidgetClass widget)
=> self
-> widget
-> PackType	`packType` pack type of the action widget
-> IO ()

Sets widget as one of the action widgets. Depending on the pack type the widget will be placed before or after the tabs. You can use a Box if you need to pack more than one widget on the same side.

Note that action widgets are "internal" children of the notebook and thus not included in the list returned from containerForeach.

Available since Gtk version 2.20

notebookGetActionWidget Source

Arguments

:: NotebookClass self
=> self
-> PackType	`packType` pack type of the action widget to receive
-> IO (Maybe Widget)
