GI.Gtk.Objects.ToolPalette

A ToolPalette allows you to add GtkToolItems to a palette-like container with different categories and drag and drop support.

A ToolPalette is created with a call to toolPaletteNew.

GtkToolItems cannot be added directly to a ToolPalette - instead they are added to a ToolItemGroup which can than be added to a ToolPalette. To add a ToolItemGroup to a ToolPalette, use containerAdd.

C code

GtkWidget *palette, *group;
GtkToolItem *item;

palette = gtk_tool_palette_new ();
group = gtk_tool_item_group_new (_("Test Category"));
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (palette), group);

item = gtk_tool_button_new_new (NULL, _("_Open"));
gtk_tool_button_set_icon_name (GTK_TOOL_BUTTON (item), "document-open");
gtk_tool_item_group_insert (GTK_TOOL_ITEM_GROUP (group), item, -1);

The easiest way to use drag and drop with ToolPalette is to call toolPaletteAddDragDest with the desired drag source palette and the desired drag target widget. Then toolPaletteGetDragItem can be used to get the dragged item in the Widget::drag-data-received signal handler of the drag target.

C code

static void
passive_canvas_drag_data_received (GtkWidget        *widget,
                                   GdkDragContext   *context,
                                   gint              x,
                                   gint              y,
                                   GtkSelectionData *selection,
                                   guint             info,
                                   guint             time,
                                   gpointer          data)
{
  GtkWidget *palette;
  GtkWidget *item;

  // Get the dragged item
  palette = gtk_widget_get_ancestor (gtk_drag_get_source_widget (context),
                                     GTK_TYPE_TOOL_PALETTE);
  if (palette != NULL)
    item = gtk_tool_palette_get_drag_item (GTK_TOOL_PALETTE (palette),
                                           selection);

  // Do something with item
}

GtkWidget *target, palette;

palette = gtk_tool_palette_new ();
target = gtk_drawing_area_new ();

g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (target), "drag-data-received",
                  G_CALLBACK (passive_canvas_drag_data_received), NULL);
gtk_tool_palette_add_drag_dest (GTK_TOOL_PALETTE (palette), target,
                                GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL,
                                GTK_TOOL_PALETTE_DRAG_ITEMS,
                                GDK_ACTION_COPY);
