Class

GtkTable

Description [src]

class Gtk.Table : Gtk.Container
  implements Atk.ImplementorIface, Gtk.Buildable {
  /* No available fields */
}

The GtkTable functions allow the programmer to arrange widgets in rows and columns, making it easy to align many widgets next to each other, horizontally and vertically.

Tables are created with a call to gtk_table_new(), the size of which can later be changed with gtk_table_resize().

Widgets can be added to a table using gtk_table_attach() or the more convenient (but slightly less flexible) gtk_table_attach_defaults().

To alter the space next to a specific row, use gtk_table_set_row_spacing(), and for a column, gtk_table_set_col_spacing(). The gaps between all rows or columns can be changed by calling gtk_table_set_row_spacings() or gtk_table_set_col_spacings() respectively. Note that spacing is added between the children, while padding added by gtk_table_attach() is added on either side of the widget it belongs to.

gtk_table_set_homogeneous(), can be used to set whether all cells in the table will resize themselves to the size of the largest widget in the table.

GtkTable has been deprecated. Use GtkGrid instead. It provides the same capabilities as GtkTable for arranging widgets in a rectangular grid, but does support height-for-width geometry management.

Constructors

gtk_table_new

Used to create a new table widget. An initial size must be given by specifying how many rows and columns the table should have, although this can be changed later with gtk_table_resize(). rows and columns must both be in the range 1 .. 65535. For historical reasons, 0 is accepted as well and is silently interpreted as 1.

deprecated: 3.4 

Instance methods

gtk_table_attach

Adds a widget to a table. The number of “cells” that a widget will occupy is specified by left_attach, right_attach, top_attach and bottom_attach. These each represent the leftmost, rightmost, uppermost and lowest column and row numbers of the table. (Columns and rows are indexed from zero).

deprecated: 3.4 

gtk_table_attach_defaults

As there are many options associated with gtk_table_attach(), this convenience function provides the programmer with a means to add children to a table with identical padding and expansion options. The values used for the GtkAttachOptions are GTK_EXPAND | GTK_FILL, and the padding is set to 0.

deprecated: 3.4 

gtk_table_get_col_spacing

Gets the amount of space between column col, and column col + 1. See gtk_table_set_col_spacing().

deprecated: 3.4 

gtk_table_get_default_col_spacing

Gets the default column spacing for the table. This is the spacing that will be used for newly added columns. (See gtk_table_set_col_spacings())

deprecated: 3.4 

gtk_table_get_default_row_spacing

Gets the default row spacing for the table. This is the spacing that will be used for newly added rows. (See gtk_table_set_row_spacings())

deprecated: 3.4 

gtk_table_get_homogeneous

Returns whether the table cells are all constrained to the same width and height. (See gtk_table_set_homogeneous ())

deprecated: 3.4 

gtk_table_get_row_spacing

Gets the amount of space between row row, and row row + 1. See gtk_table_set_row_spacing().

deprecated: 3.4

Signals inherited from GtkWidget (69)
GtkWidget::accel-closures-changed
No description available.

GtkWidget::button-press-event

The ::button-press-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is pressed.

GtkWidget::button-release-event

The ::button-release-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is released.

GtkWidget::can-activate-accel

Determines whether an accelerator that activates the signal identified by signal_id can currently be activated. This signal is present to allow applications and derived widgets to override the default GtkWidget handling for determining whether an accelerator can be activated.

GtkWidget::child-notify

The ::child-notify signal is emitted for each [child property][child-properties] that has changed on an object. The signal’s detail holds the property name.

GtkWidget::composited-changed

The ::composited-changed signal is emitted when the composited status of widgets screen changes. See gdk_screen_is_composited().

deprecated: 3.22 

GtkWidget::configure-event

The ::configure-event signal will be emitted when the size, position or stacking of the widgets window has changed.

GtkWidget::damage-event

Emitted when a redirected window belonging to widget gets drawn into. The region/area members of the event shows what area of the redirected drawable was drawn into.

since: 2.14

GtkWidget::delete-event

The ::delete-event signal is emitted if a user requests that a toplevel window is closed. The default handler for this signal destroys the window. Connecting gtk_widget_hide_on_delete() to this signal will cause the window to be hidden instead, so that it can later be shown again without reconstructing it.

GtkWidget::destroy

Signals that all holders of a reference to the widget should release the reference that they hold. May result in finalization of the widget if all references are released.

GtkWidget::destroy-event

The ::destroy-event signal is emitted when a GdkWindow is destroyed. You rarely get this signal, because most widgets disconnect themselves from their window before they destroy it, so no widget owns the window at destroy time.

GtkWidget::direction-changed

The ::direction-changed signal is emitted when the text direction of a widget changes.

GtkWidget::drag-begin

The ::drag-begin signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is started. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to set up a custom drag icon with e.g. gtk_drag_source_set_icon_pixbuf().

GtkWidget::drag-data-delete

The ::drag-data-delete signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag with the action GDK_ACTION_MOVE is successfully completed. The signal handler is responsible for deleting the data that has been dropped. What “delete” means depends on the context of the drag operation.

GtkWidget::drag-data-get

The ::drag-data-get signal is emitted on the drag source when the drop site requests the data which is dragged. It is the responsibility of the signal handler to fill data with the data in the format which is indicated by info. See gtk_selection_data_set() and gtk_selection_data_set_text().

GtkWidget::drag-data-received

The ::drag-data-received signal is emitted on the drop site when the dragged data has been received. If the data was received in order to determine whether the drop will be accepted, the handler is expected to call gdk_drag_status() and not finish the drag. If the data was received in response to a GtkWidget::drag-drop signal (and this is the last target to be received), the handler for this signal is expected to process the received data and then call gtk_drag_finish(), setting the success parameter depending on whether the data was processed successfully.

GtkWidget::drag-drop

The ::drag-drop signal is emitted on the drop site when the user drops the data onto the widget. The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns FALSE and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns TRUE. In this case, the handler must ensure that gtk_drag_finish() is called to let the source know that the drop is done. The call to gtk_drag_finish() can be done either directly or in a GtkWidget::drag-data-received handler which gets triggered by calling gtk_drag_get_data() to receive the data for one or more of the supported targets.

GtkWidget::drag-end

The ::drag-end signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is finished. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in GtkWidget::drag-begin.

GtkWidget::drag-failed

The ::drag-failed signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag has failed. The signal handler may hook custom code to handle a failed DnD operation based on the type of error, it returns TRUE is the failure has been already handled (not showing the default “drag operation failed” animation), otherwise it returns FALSE.

since: 2.12

GtkWidget::drag-leave

The ::drag-leave signal is emitted on the drop site when the cursor leaves the widget. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in GtkWidget::drag-motion, e.g. undo highlighting with gtk_drag_unhighlight().

GtkWidget::drag-motion

The ::drag-motion signal is emitted on the drop site when the user moves the cursor over the widget during a drag. The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns FALSE and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns TRUE. In this case, the handler is responsible for providing the necessary information for displaying feedback to the user, by calling gdk_drag_status().

GtkWidget::draw

This signal is emitted when a widget is supposed to render itself. The widgets top left corner must be painted at the origin of the passed in context and be sized to the values returned by gtk_widget_get_allocated_width() and gtk_widget_get_allocated_height().

since: 3.0

GtkWidget::enter-notify-event

The ::enter-notify-event will be emitted when the pointer enters the widgets window.

GtkWidget::event

The GTK+ main loop will emit three signals for each GDK event delivered to a widget: one generic ::event signal, another, more specific, signal that matches the type of event delivered (e.g. GtkWidget::key-press-event) and finally a generic GtkWidget::event-after signal.

GtkWidget::event-after

After the emission of the GtkWidget::event signal and (optionally) the second more specific signal, ::event-after will be emitted regardless of the previous two signals handlers return values.

GtkWidget::focus
No description available.

GtkWidget::focus-in-event

The ::focus-in-event signal will be emitted when the keyboard focus enters the widgets window.

GtkWidget::focus-out-event

The ::focus-out-event signal will be emitted when the keyboard focus leaves the widgets window.

GtkWidget::grab-broken-event

Emitted when a pointer or keyboard grab on a window belonging to widget gets broken.

since: 2.8

GtkWidget::grab-focus
No description available.

GtkWidget::grab-notify

The ::grab-notify signal is emitted when a widget becomes shadowed by a GTK+ grab (not a pointer or keyboard grab) on another widget, or when it becomes unshadowed due to a grab being removed.

GtkWidget::hide

The ::hide signal is emitted when widget is hidden, for example with gtk_widget_hide().

GtkWidget::hierarchy-changed

The ::hierarchy-changed signal is emitted when the anchored state of a widget changes. A widget is “anchored” when its toplevel ancestor is a GtkWindow. This signal is emitted when a widget changes from un-anchored to anchored or vice-versa.

GtkWidget::key-press-event

The ::key-press-event signal is emitted when a key is pressed. The signal emission will reoccur at the key-repeat rate when the key is kept pressed.

GtkWidget::key-release-event

The ::key-release-event signal is emitted when a key is released.

GtkWidget::keynav-failed

Gets emitted if keyboard navigation fails. See gtk_widget_keynav_failed() for details.

since: 2.12

GtkWidget::leave-notify-event

The ::leave-notify-event will be emitted when the pointer leaves the widgets window.

GtkWidget::map

The ::map signal is emitted when widget is going to be mapped, that is when the widget is visible (which is controlled with gtk_widget_set_visible()) and all its parents up to the toplevel widget are also visible. Once the map has occurred, GtkWidget::map-event will be emitted.

GtkWidget::map-event

The ::map-event signal will be emitted when the widgets window is mapped. A window is mapped when it becomes visible on the screen.

GtkWidget::mnemonic-activate

The default handler for this signal activates widget if group_cycling is FALSE, or just makes widget grab focus if group_cycling is TRUE.

GtkWidget::motion-notify-event

The ::motion-notify-event signal is emitted when the pointer moves over the widget’s GdkWindow.

GtkWidget::move-focus
No description available.

GtkWidget::parent-set

The ::parent-set signal is emitted when a new parent has been set on a widget.

GtkWidget::popup-menu

This signal gets emitted whenever a widget should pop up a context menu. This usually happens through the standard key binding mechanism; by pressing a certain key while a widget is focused, the user can cause the widget to pop up a menu. For example, the GtkEntry widget creates a menu with clipboard commands. See the [Popup Menu Migration Checklist][checklist-popup-menu] for an example of how to use this signal.

GtkWidget::property-notify-event

The ::property-notify-event signal will be emitted when a property on the widgets window has been changed or deleted.

GtkWidget::proximity-in-event

To receive this signal the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs to enable the #GDK_PROXIMITY_IN_MASK mask.

GtkWidget::proximity-out-event

To receive this signal the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs to enable the #GDK_PROXIMITY_OUT_MASK mask.

GtkWidget::query-tooltip

Emitted when GtkWidget:has-tooltip is TRUE and the hover timeout has expired with the cursor hovering “above” widget; or emitted when widget got focus in keyboard mode.

since: 2.12

GtkWidget::realize

The ::realize signal is emitted when widget is associated with a GdkWindow, which means that gtk_widget_realize() has been called or the widget has been mapped (that is, it is going to be drawn).

GtkWidget::screen-changed

The ::screen-changed signal gets emitted when the screen of a widget has changed.

GtkWidget::scroll-event

The ::scroll-event signal is emitted when a button in the 4 to 7 range is pressed. Wheel mice are usually configured to generate button press events for buttons 4 and 5 when the wheel is turned.

GtkWidget::selection-clear-event

The ::selection-clear-event signal will be emitted when the the widgets window has lost ownership of a selection.

deprecated: 3.0 

GtkWidget::style-updated

The ::style-updated signal is a convenience signal that is emitted when the GtkStyleContext::changed signal is emitted on the widgets associated GtkStyleContext as returned by gtk_widget_get_style_context().

since: 3.0

GtkWidget::touch-event
No description available.

GtkWidget::unmap

The ::unmap signal is emitted when widget is going to be unmapped, which means that either it or any of its parents up to the toplevel widget have been set as hidden.

GtkWidget::unmap-event

The ::unmap-event signal will be emitted when the widgets window is unmapped. A window is unmapped when it becomes invisible on the screen.

GtkWidget::unrealize

The ::unrealize signal is emitted when the GdkWindow associated with widget is destroyed, which means that gtk_widget_unrealize() has been called or the widget has been unmapped (that is, it is going to be hidden).
