gtk.info_bar

Module for [InfoBar] class

Types 3

#GtkInfoBar is a widget that can be used to show messages to the user without showing a dialog. It is often temporarily shown at the top or bottom of a document. In contrast to #GtkDialog, which has a action area at the bottom, #GtkInfoBar has an action area at the side.

The API of #GtkInfoBar is very similar to #GtkDialog, allowing you to add buttons to the action area with [gtk.info_bar.InfoBar.addButton] or [gtk.info_bar.InfoBar.newWithButtons]. The sensitivity of action widgets can be controlled with [gtk.info_bar.InfoBar.setResponseSensitive]. To add widgets to the main content area of a #GtkInfoBar, use [gtk.info_bar.InfoBar.getContentArea] and add your widgets to the container.

Similar to #GtkMessageDialog, the contents of a #GtkInfoBar can by classified as error message, warning, informational message, etc, by using [gtk.info_bar.InfoBar.setMessageType]. GTK+ may use the message type to determine how the message is displayed.

A simple example for using a #GtkInfoBar:

GtkWidget *widget, *message_label, *content_area;
GtkWidget *grid;
GtkInfoBar *bar;

// set up info bar
widget = gtk_info_bar_new ();
bar = GTK_INFO_BAR (widget);
grid = gtk_grid_new ();

gtk_widget_set_no_show_all (widget, TRUE);
message_label = gtk_label_new ("");
content_area = gtk_info_bar_get_content_area (bar);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (content_area),
                  message_label);
gtk_info_bar_add_button (bar,
                        _("_OK"),
                        GTK_RESPONSE_OK);
g_signal_connect (bar,
                 "response",
                 G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_hide),
                 NULL);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid),
                widget,
                0, 2, 1, 1);

// ...

// show an error message
gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL (message_label), "An error occurred!");
gtk_info_bar_set_message_type (bar,
                              GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR);
gtk_widget_show (bar);

GtkInfoBar as GtkBuildable

The GtkInfoBar implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the content area and action area as internal children with the names “content_area” and “action_area”.

GtkInfoBar supports a custom <action-widgets> element, which can contain multiple <action-widget> elements. The “response” attribute specifies a numeric response, and the content of the element is the id of widget (which should be a child of the dialogs @action_area).

CSS nodes

GtkInfoBar has a single CSS node with name infobar. The node may get one of the style classes .info, .warning, .error or .question, depending on the message type.

Methods

bool showCloseButton() @propertyGet `showCloseButton` property. Returns: Whether to include a standard close button.
void showCloseButton(bool propval) @propertySet `showCloseButton` property. Params: propval = Whether to include a standard close button.
void addActionWidget(gtk.widget.Widget child, int responseId)Add an activatable widget to the action area of a #GtkInfoBar, connecting a signal handler that will emit the #GtkInfoBar::response signal on the message area when the widget is activated. The widg...
gtk.button.Button addButton(string buttonText, int responseId)Adds a button with the given text and sets things up so that clicking the button will emit the “response” signal with the given response_id. The button is appended to the end of the info bars's...
gtk.box.Box getActionArea()Returns the action area of info_bar. Returns: the action area
gtk.box.Box getContentArea()Returns the content area of info_bar. Returns: the content area
gtk.types.MessageType getMessageType()Returns the message type of the message area. Returns: the message type of the message area.
bool getShowCloseButton()Returns whether the widget will display a standard close button. Returns: true if the widget displays standard close button
void response(int responseId)Emits the “response” signal with the given response_id.
void setDefaultResponse(int responseId)Sets the last widget in the info bar’s action area with the given response_id as the default widget for the dialog. Pressing “Enter” normally activates the default widget.
void setMessageType(gtk.types.MessageType messageType)Sets the message type of the message area.
void setResponseSensitive(int responseId, bool setting)Calls gtkwidgetsetsensitive (widget, setting) for each widget in the info bars’s action area with the given responseid. A convenient way to sensitize/desensitize dialog buttons.
void setRevealed(bool revealed)Sets the GtkInfoBar:revealed property to revealed. This will cause info_bar to show up with a slide-in transition.
void setShowCloseButton(bool setting)If true, a standard close button is shown. When clicked it emits the response [gtk.types.ResponseType.Close].
