GI.Gtk.Objects.InfoBar

GtkInfoBar can be used to show messages to the user without a dialog.

It is often temporarily shown at the top or bottom of a document. In contrast to Dialog, which has an action area at the bottom, GtkInfoBar has an action area at the side.

The API of GtkInfoBar is very similar to GtkDialog, allowing you to add buttons to the action area with infoBarAddButton or InfoBar.new_with_buttons(). The sensitivity of action widgets can be controlled with infoBarSetResponseSensitive.

To add widgets to the main content area of a GtkInfoBar, use infoBarAddChild.

Similar to MessageDialog, the contents of a GtkInfoBar can by classified as error message, warning, informational message, etc, by using infoBarSetMessageType. GTK may use the message type to determine how the message is displayed.

A simple example for using a GtkInfoBar:

c code

GtkWidget *message_label;
GtkWidget *widget;
GtkWidget *grid;
GtkInfoBar *bar;

// set up info bar
widget = gtk_info_bar_new ();
bar = GTK_INFO_BAR (widget);
grid = gtk_grid_new ();

message_label = gtk_label_new ("");
gtk_info_bar_add_child (bar, message_label);
gtk_info_bar_add_button (bar,
                         _("_OK"),
                         GTK_RESPONSE_OK);
g_signal_connect (bar,
                  "response",
                  G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_hide),
                  NULL);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid),
                 widget,
                 0, 2, 1, 1);

// ...

// show an error message
gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL (message_label), "An error occurred!");
gtk_info_bar_set_message_type (bar, GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR);
gtk_widget_show (bar);

GtkInfoBar as GtkBuildable

GtkInfoBar supports a custom <action-widgets> element, which can contain multiple <action-widget> elements. The “response” attribute specifies a numeric response, and the content of the element is the id of widget (which should be a child of the dialogs actionArea).

GtkInfoBar supports adding action widgets by specifying “action” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element. The widget will be added either to the action area. The response id has to be associated with the action widget using the <action-widgets> element.

CSS nodes

GtkInfoBar has a single CSS node with name infobar. The node may get one of the style classes .info, .warning, .error or .question, depending on the message type. If the info bar shows a close button, that button will have the .close style class applied.

=> a

infoBar: a GtkInfoBar

-> MessageType

messageType: a GtkMessageType

infoBar: a GtkInfoBar

-> Int32

responseId: a response ID

-> Bool

setting: TRUE for sensitive

-> m ()

Deprecated: (Since version 4.10)

Sets the sensitivity of action widgets for responseId.

setRevealed

infoBarSetRevealed

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsInfoBar a)

=> a

infoBar: a GtkInfoBar

-> Bool

-> m ()

Deprecated: (Since version 4.10)

Sets whether the GtkInfoBar is revealed.

Changing this will make infoBar reveal or conceal itself via a sliding transition.

Note: this does not show or hide infoBar in the Widget:visible sense, so revealing has no effect if Widget:visible is False.

infoBarSetShowCloseButton

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsInfoBar a)

=> a

infoBar: a GtkInfoBar

-> Bool

setting: True to include a close button

-> m ()

Deprecated: (Since version 4.10)

If true, a standard close button is shown.

When clicked it emits the response ResponseTypeClose.

Properties

messageType

The type of the message.

The type may be used to determine the appearance of the info bar.

constructInfoBarMessageType :: (IsInfoBar o, MonadIO m) => MessageType -> m (GValueConstruct o)

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

getInfoBarMessageType :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> m MessageType

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

get infoBar #messageType

setInfoBarMessageType :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> MessageType -> m ()

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

set infoBar [ #messageType := value ]

revealed

Whether the info bar shows its contents.

constructInfoBarRevealed :: (IsInfoBar o, MonadIO m) => Bool -> m (GValueConstruct o)

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

getInfoBarRevealed :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> m Bool

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

get infoBar #revealed

setInfoBarRevealed :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> Bool -> m ()

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

set infoBar [ #revealed := value ]

showCloseButton

Whether to include a standard close button.

constructInfoBarShowCloseButton :: (IsInfoBar o, MonadIO m) => Bool -> m (GValueConstruct o)

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

getInfoBarShowCloseButton :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> m Bool

Get the value of the “show-close-button” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get infoBar #showCloseButton

setInfoBarShowCloseButton :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> Bool -> m ()

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

set infoBar [ #showCloseButton := value ]

Signals

close

type InfoBarCloseCallback = IO ()

Gets emitted when the user uses a keybinding to dismiss the info bar.

The close signal is a keybinding signal.

The default binding for this signal is the Escape key.

afterInfoBarClose :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarCloseCallback) -> 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 infoBar #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.

onInfoBarClose :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarCloseCallback) -> 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 infoBar #close callback

response

type InfoBarResponseCallback

Arguments

 = Int32

responseId: the response ID

-> IO ()

Emitted when an action widget is clicked.

The signal is also emitted when the application programmer calls infoBarResponse. The responseId depends on which action widget was clicked.

afterInfoBarResponse :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarResponseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

after infoBar #response 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.

onInfoBarResponse :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarResponseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

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

on infoBar #response callback
