GI.Gtk.Objects.Assistant

GtkAssistant is used to represent a complex as a series of steps.

Each step consists of one or more pages. GtkAssistant guides the user through the pages, and controls the page flow to collect the data needed for the operation.

GtkAssistant handles which buttons to show and to make sensitive based on page sequence knowledge and the AssistantPageType of each page in addition to state information like the *completed* and *committed* page statuses.

If you have a case that doesn’t quite fit in GtkAssistants way of handling buttons, you can use the AssistantPageTypeCustom page type and handle buttons yourself.

GtkAssistant maintains a GtkAssistantPage object for each added child, which holds additional per-child properties. You obtain the GtkAssistantPage for a child with assistantGetPage.

GtkAssistant as GtkBuildable

The GtkAssistant implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the actionArea as internal children with the name “action_area”.

To add pages to an assistant in GtkBuilder, simply add it as a child to the GtkAssistant object. If you need to set per-object properties, create a GtkAssistantPage object explicitly, and set the child widget as a property on it.

Note that this will only be necessary in custom buttons, as the assistant flow can be set with assistantSetForwardPageFunc.

setForwardPageFunc

assistantSetForwardPageFunc

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsAssistant a)

=> a

assistant: a GtkAssistant

-> Maybe AssistantPageFunc

pageFunc: the GtkAssistantPageFunc, or Nothing to use the default one

-> m ()

Sets the page forwarding function to be pageFunc.

This function will be used to determine what will be the next page when the user presses the forward button. Setting pageFunc to Nothing will make the assistant to use the default forward function, which just goes to the next visible page.

updateButtonsState

assistantUpdateButtonsState

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsAssistant a)

=> a

assistant: a GtkAssistant

-> m ()

Forces assistant to recompute the buttons state.

GTK automatically takes care of this in most situations, e.g. when the user goes to a different page, or when the visibility or completeness of a page changes.

One situation where it can be necessary to call this function is when changing a value on the current page affects the future page flow of the assistant.

Properties

pages

GListModel containing the pages.

getAssistantPages :: (MonadIO m, IsAssistant o) => o -> m (Maybe ListModel)

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

get assistant #pages

useHeaderBar

True if the assistant uses a GtkHeaderBar for action buttons instead of the action-area.

For technical reasons, this property is declared as an integer property, but you should only set it to True or False.

constructAssistantUseHeaderBar :: (IsAssistant o, MonadIO m) => Int32 -> m (GValueConstruct o)

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

getAssistantUseHeaderBar :: (MonadIO m, IsAssistant o) => o -> m Int32

Get the value of the “use-header-bar” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get assistant #useHeaderBar

Signals

apply

type AssistantApplyCallback = IO ()

Emitted when the apply button is clicked.

The default behavior of the GtkAssistant is to switch to the page after the current page, unless the current page is the last one.

A handler for the apply signal should carry out the actions for which the wizard has collected data. If the action takes a long time to complete, you might consider putting a page of type AssistantPageTypeProgress after the confirmation page and handle this operation within the Assistant::prepare signal of the progress page.

afterAssistantApply :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantApplyCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

after assistant #apply callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onAssistantApply :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantApplyCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

on assistant #apply callback

cancel

type AssistantCancelCallback = IO ()

Emitted when then the cancel button is clicked.

afterAssistantCancel :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantCancelCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

after assistant #cancel callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onAssistantCancel :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantCancelCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

on assistant #cancel callback

close

type AssistantCloseCallback = IO ()

Emitted either when the close button of a summary page is clicked, or when the apply button in the last page in the flow (of type AssistantPageTypeConfirm) is clicked.

afterAssistantClose :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantCloseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

after assistant #close callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onAssistantClose :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantCloseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

on assistant #close callback

escape

type AssistantEscapeCallback = IO ()

The action signal for the Escape binding.

afterAssistantEscape :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantEscapeCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

after assistant #escape callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onAssistantEscape :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantEscapeCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

on assistant #escape callback

prepare

type AssistantPrepareCallback

Arguments

 = Widget

page: the current page

-> IO ()

Emitted when a new page is set as the assistant's current page, before making the new page visible.

A handler for this signal can do any preparations which are necessary before showing page.

afterAssistantPrepare :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantPrepareCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

after assistant #prepare callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onAssistantPrepare :: (IsAssistant a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => AssistantPrepareCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

on assistant #prepare callback
