Implemented Interfaces

GtkLinkButton implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkActivatable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

A GtkLinkButton is a GtkButton with a hyperlink, similar to the one used by web browsers, which triggers an action when clicked. It is useful to show quick links to resources.

A link button is created by calling either gtk_link_button_new() or gtk_link_button_new_with_label(). If using the former, the URI you pass to the constructor is used as a label for the widget.

The URI bound to a GtkLinkButton can be set specifically using gtk_link_button_set_uri(), and retrieved using gtk_link_button_get_uri().

GtkLinkButton offers a global hook, which is called when the used clicks on it: see gtk_link_button_set_uri_hook().

GtkLinkButton was added in GTK+ 2.10.

Functions

gtk_link_button_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_link_button_new (const gchar *uri);

Creates a new GtkLinkButton with the URI as its text.

Parameters

uri

a valid URI

 

Returns

a new link button widget.

Since: 2.10


gtk_link_button_new_with_label ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_link_button_new_with_label (const gchar *uri,
                                const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkLinkButton containing a label.

Parameters

uri

a valid URI

 

label

the text of the button.

[allow-none]

Returns

a new link button widget.

[transfer none]

Since: 2.10


gtk_link_button_get_uri ()

const gchar *
gtk_link_button_get_uri (GtkLinkButton *link_button);

Retrieves the URI set using gtk_link_button_set_uri().

Parameters

link_button

a GtkLinkButton

 

Returns

a valid URI. The returned string is owned by the link button and should not be modified or freed.

Since: 2.10


gtk_link_button_set_uri ()

void
gtk_link_button_set_uri (GtkLinkButton *link_button,
                         const gchar *uri);

Sets uri as the URI where the GtkLinkButton points. As a side-effect this unsets the 'visited' state of the button.

Parameters

link_button

a GtkLinkButton

 

uri

a valid URI

 

Since: 2.10


GtkLinkButtonUriFunc ()

void
(*GtkLinkButtonUriFunc) (GtkLinkButton *button,
                         const gchar *link_,
                         gpointer user_data);

The type of a function which is called when the GtkLinkButton is clicked.

Parameters

button

the GtkLinkButton which was clicked

 

link_

the URI to which the clicked GtkLinkButton points

 

user_data

user data that was passed when the function was registered with gtk_link_button_set_uri_hook()

 

gtk_link_button_set_uri_hook ()

GtkLinkButtonUriFunc
gtk_link_button_set_uri_hook (GtkLinkButtonUriFunc func,
                              gpointer data,
                              GDestroyNotify destroy);

gtk_link_button_set_uri_hook has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use the “clicked” signal instead

Sets func as the function that should be invoked every time a user clicks a GtkLinkButton. This function is called before every callback registered for the "clicked" signal.

If no uri hook has been set, GTK+ defaults to calling gtk_show_uri().

Parameters

func

a function called each time a GtkLinkButton is clicked, or NULL.

[allow-none]

data

user data to be passed to func , or NULL.

[allow-none]

destroy

a GDestroyNotify that gets called when data is no longer needed, or NULL.

[allow-none]

Returns

the previously set hook function.

Since: 2.10


gtk_link_button_get_visited ()

gboolean
gtk_link_button_get_visited (GtkLinkButton *link_button);

Retrieves the 'visited' state of the URI where the GtkLinkButton points. The button becomes visited when it is clicked. If the URI is changed on the button, the 'visited' state is unset again.

The state may also be changed using gtk_link_button_set_visited().

Parameters

link_button

a GtkLinkButton

 

Returns

TRUE if the link has been visited, FALSE otherwise

Since: 2.14


gtk_link_button_set_visited ()

void
gtk_link_button_set_visited (GtkLinkButton *link_button,
                             gboolean visited);

Sets the 'visited' state of the URI where the GtkLinkButton points. See gtk_link_button_get_visited() for more details.

Parameters

link_button

a GtkLinkButton

 

visited

the new 'visited' state

 

Since: 2.14

Types and Values
