GI.Gtk.Objects.AppChooserButton

The AppChooserButton is a widget that lets the user select an application. It implements the AppChooser interface.

Initially, a AppChooserButton selects the first application in its list, which will either be the most-recently used application or, if AppChooserButton:show-default-item is True, the default application.

The list of applications shown in a AppChooserButton includes the recommended applications for the given content type. When AppChooserButton:show-default-item is set, the default application is also included. To let the user chooser other applications, you can set the AppChooserButton:show-dialog-item property, which allows to open a full AppChooserDialog.

It is possible to add custom items to the list, using appChooserButtonAppendCustomItem. These items cause the customItemActivated signal to be emitted when they are selected.

To track changes in the selected application, use the changed signal.

Properties

heading

The text to show at the top of the dialog that can be opened from the button. The string may contain Pango markup.

constructAppChooserButtonHeading :: (IsAppChooserButton o, MonadIO m) => Text -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Construct a GValueConstruct with valid value for the “heading” property. This is rarely needed directly, but it is used by new.

getAppChooserButtonHeading :: (MonadIO m, IsAppChooserButton o) => o -> m (Maybe Text)

Get the value of the “heading” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get appChooserButton #heading

setAppChooserButtonHeading :: (MonadIO m, IsAppChooserButton o) => o -> Text -> m ()

Set the value of the “heading” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set appChooserButton [ #heading := value ]

showDefaultItem

The AppChooserButton:show-default-item property determines whether the dropdown menu should show the default application on top for the provided content type.

Since: 3.2

constructAppChooserButtonShowDefaultItem :: (IsAppChooserButton o, MonadIO m) => Bool -> m (GValueConstruct o)

get appChooserButton #showDefaultItem

setAppChooserButtonShowDefaultItem :: (MonadIO m, IsAppChooserButton o) => o -> Bool -> m ()

Set the value of the “show-default-item” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

constructAppChooserButtonShowDialogItem :: (IsAppChooserButton o, MonadIO m) => Bool -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Signals

customItemActivated

type AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback

Arguments

 = Text

itemName: the name of the activated item

-> IO ()

Emitted when a custom item, previously added with appChooserButtonAppendCustomItem, is activated from the dropdown menu.

type C_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback = Ptr () -> CString -> Ptr () -> IO ()

Type for the callback on the (unwrapped) C side.

afterAppChooserButtonCustomItemActivated :: (IsAppChooserButton a, MonadIO m) => a -> Maybe Text -> AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the customItemActivated signal, to be run after the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

after appChooserButton #customItemActivated callback

This signal admits a optional parameter detail. If it's not Nothing, we will connect to “custom-item-activated::detail” instead.

genClosure_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivated :: MonadIO m => AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback -> m (GClosure C_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback)

Wrap the callback into a GClosure.

mk_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback :: C_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback -> IO (FunPtr C_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback)

noAppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback :: Maybe AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback

A convenience synonym for Nothing :: Maybe AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback.

onAppChooserButtonCustomItemActivated :: (IsAppChooserButton a, MonadIO m) => a -> Maybe Text -> AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the customItemActivated signal, to be run before the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

on appChooserButton #customItemActivated callback

This signal admits a optional parameter detail. If it's not Nothing, we will connect to “custom-item-activated::detail” instead.

wrap_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback :: AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback -> C_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback

Wrap a AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback into a C_AppChooserButtonCustomItemActivatedCallback.
