Class Details

class Gtk.ToolItem(**kwargs)

Bases:

Gtk.Bin, Gtk.Activatable

Abstract:

No

Structure:

Gtk.ToolItemClass

Gtk.ToolItems are widgets that can appear on a toolbar. To create a toolbar item that contain something else than a button, useGtk.ToolItem.new(). Use Gtk.Container.add() to add a child widget to the tool item.

For toolbar items that contain buttons, see the Gtk.ToolButton,Gtk.ToggleToolButton and Gtk.RadioToolButton classes.

See the Gtk.Toolbar class for a description of the toolbar widget, andGtk.ToolShell for a description of the tool shell interface.

Return type:

Gtk.ToolbarStyle

Returns the toolbar style used for self. Custom subclasses ofGtk.ToolItem should call this function in the handler of the GtkToolItem::toolbar_reconfigured signal to find out in what style the toolbar is displayed and change themselves accordingly

Possibilities are:

New in version 2.4.

get_use_drag_window()[source]

Returns:

True if self uses a drag window.

Return type:

bool

Returns whether self has a drag window. SeeGtk.ToolItem.set_use_drag_window().

New in version 2.4.

get_visible_horizontal()[source]

Returns:

True if self is visible on toolbars that are docked horizontally.

Return type:

bool

Returns whether the self is visible on toolbars that are docked horizontally.

New in version 2.4.

get_visible_vertical()[source]

Returns:

Whether self is visible when the toolbar is docked vertically

Return type:

bool

Returns whether self is visible when the toolbar is docked vertically. See Gtk.ToolItem.set_visible_vertical().

New in version 2.4.

set_expand(expand)[source]

Parameters:

expand (bool) – Whether self is allocated extra space

Sets whether self is allocated extra space when there is more room on the toolbar then needed for the items. The effect is that the item gets bigger when the toolbar gets bigger and smaller when the toolbar gets smaller.

New in version 2.4.

set_homogeneous(homogeneous)[source]

Parameters:

homogeneous (bool) – whether self is the same size as other homogeneous items

Sets whether self is to be allocated the same size as other homogeneous items. The effect is that all homogeneous items will have the same width as the widest of the items.

New in version 2.4.

set_is_important(is_important)[source]

Parameters:

is_important (bool) – whether the tool item should be considered important

Sets whether self should be considered important. The Gtk.ToolButtonclass uses this property to determine whether to show or hide its label when the toolbar style is Gtk.ToolbarStyle.BOTH_HORIZ. The result is that only tool buttons with the “is_important” property set have labels, an effect known as “priority text”

New in version 2.4.

Parameters:

Sets the Gtk.MenuItem used in the toolbar overflow menu. Themenu_item_id is used to identify the caller of this function and should also be used with Gtk.ToolItem.get_proxy_menu_item().

See also Gtk.ToolItem ::create-menu-proxy.

New in version 2.4.

set_tooltip_markup(markup)[source]

Parameters:

markup (str) – markup text to be used as tooltip for self

Sets the markup text to be displayed as tooltip on the item. See Gtk.Widget.set_tooltip_markup().

set_tooltip_text(text)[source]

Parameters:

text (str) – text to be used as tooltip for self

Sets the text to be displayed as tooltip on the item. See Gtk.Widget.set_tooltip_text().

New in version 2.12.

set_use_drag_window(use_drag_window)[source]

Parameters:

use_drag_window (bool) – Whether self has a drag window.

Sets whether self has a drag window. When True the toolitem can be used as a drag source through Gtk.Widget.drag_source_set(). When self has a drag window it will intercept all events, even those that would otherwise be sent to a child of self.

New in version 2.4.

set_visible_horizontal(visible_horizontal)[source]

Parameters:

visible_horizontal (bool) – Whether self is visible when in horizontal mode

Sets whether self is visible when the toolbar is docked horizontally.

New in version 2.4.

set_visible_vertical(visible_vertical)[source]

Parameters:

visible_vertical (bool) – whether self is visible when the toolbar is in vertical mode

Sets whether self is visible when the toolbar is docked vertically. Some tool items, such as text entries, are too wide to be useful on a vertically docked toolbar. If visible_vertical is False self will not appear on toolbars that are docked vertically.

New in version 2.4.
