[378:14] static extends: object
Generated metadata helpers for LinkButton class surfaces.
properties ()
Returns property metadata for
LinkButton.
A list.signals ()
Returns signal metadata for
LinkButton.
A list.[29:7] extends: object
A button with a hyperlink.
GtkLinkButton can be set specifically using
[method@Gtk.LinkButton.set_uri]. By default, GtkLinkButton calls
[method@Gtk.FileLauncher.launch] when the button is clicked. This behaviour
can be overridden by connecting to the [signal@Gtk.LinkButton::activate-link]
signal and returning %TRUE from the signal handler. # Shortcuts and Gestures
GtkLinkButton supports the following keyboard shortcuts: -
Shift+F10 or Menu opens the context menu. #
Actions GtkLinkButton defines a set of built-in actions: - clipboard.copy
copies the url to the clipboard. - menu.popup opens the context menu. # CSS
nodes GtkLinkButton has a single CSS node with name button. To
differentiate it from a plain GtkButton, it gets the .link style class. #
Accessibility GtkLinkButton uses the [enum@Gtk.AccessibleRole.link] role.
LinkButton (uri = null, label = null)
Creates a new
GtkLinkButtonwith the URI as its text.
uri is a valid URI.label is the text of the button.toNativeHandle (Source)
Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from
fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.asButton ()
Wraps this handle as
Button.
A Button object.asAccessible ()
Wraps this handle as
Accessible.
A Accessible object.asActionable ()
Wraps this handle as
Actionable.
A Actionable object.asBuildable ()
Wraps this handle as
Buildable.
A Buildable object.asConstraintTarget ()
Wraps this handle as
ConstraintTarget.
A ConstraintTarget object.connectSignal (string Name, CallbackObj)
Connects one generated callback wrapper to a named signal.
Name is the signal name.CallbackObj is the generated callback wrapper to connect.The connected handler id.disconnectSignalHandler (int HandlerId)
Disconnects one retained signal handler id.
HandlerId is the signal handler id to disconnect.None.setOnActivatelink (callback Fn, UserData = null)
Emitted each time the
GtkLinkButtonis clicked. The default handler will call [method@Gtk.FileLauncher.launch] with the URI stored inside the [property@Gtk.LinkButton:uri] property. To override the default behavior, you can connect to the ::activate-link signal and stop the propagation of the signal by returning %TRUE from your handler.
Fn is the Aussom callback.Fn is called with (LinkButton Self).UserData is retained and passed through to the generated callback wrapper when provided.The connected handler id.getProperty (string Name)
Reads one generated property by name.
setProperty (string Name, Value)
Writes one generated property by name.
setUri (string Value)
The URI bound to this button.
Value is the new property value.None.setVisited (bool Value)
The 'visited' state of this button. A visited link is drawn in a different color.
Value is the new property value.None.get_uri ()
Retrieves the URI of the
GtkLinkButton.
get_visited ()
Retrieves the “visited” state of the
GtkLinkButton. The button becomes visited when it is clicked. If the URI is changed on the button, the “visited” state is unset again. The state may also be changed using [method@Gtk.LinkButton.set_visited].
set_uri (string uri)
Sets @uri as the URI where the
GtkLinkButtonpoints. As a side-effect this unsets the “visited” state of the button.
uri is a valid URI.None.set_visited (bool visited)
Sets the “visited” state of the
GtkLinkButton. See [method@Gtk.LinkButton.get_visited] for more details.
visited is the new “visited” state.None.[308:7] extends: object
Generated low-level callback wrapper for GIR callback activate-link.
LinkButtonActivatelinkCallback (callback Fn, UserData = null)
Creates one native callback wrapper. The wrapper owns a trampoline that converts native pointers into generated wrapper objects before invoking
Fn.
Fn is the Aussom callback implementation.UserData is retained and passed through to Fn on each invocation when provided.trampoline (nativeSelf, nativeUserData)
Internal trampoline. Converts native pointer arguments into generated wrapper instances, then invokes the user's callback.
callback ()
Returns the wrapped NativeCallback.
handle ()
Returns the callback as a NativeHandle.
close ()
Closes the underlying NativeCallback.
isClosed ()
Returns true when the callback has been closed.
