MNEMONICS

Mnemonics are "memory aids"; in GTK+, a mnemonic is an underlined character which corresponds to a keyboard accelerator. For a button, that means pressing Alt and that key activates the button.

For convenience, Gtk2-Perl uses mnemonics by default on widgets that support them. If characters in label string are preceded by an underscore, they are underlined. If you need a literal underscore character in a label, use '__' (two underscores). If you don't want to use mnemonics at all, use the non-mnemonic version explicitly (e.g. Gtk2::Button::new_with_label).

METHODS

widget = Gtk2::Button->new

widget = Gtk2::Button->new ($mnemonic)

* $mnemonic (string) used to label the widget, see MNEMONICS

widget = Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock ($stock_id)

* $stock_id (string) creates a new button using the icon and text from the

specified stock item, see Gtk2::Stock

widget = Gtk2::Button->new_with_label ($label)

* $label (string) used to label the widget

widget = Gtk2::Button->new_with_mnemonic ($mnemonic)

* $mnemonic (string) used to label the widget, see MNEMONICS

(xalign, yalign) = $button->get_alignment

Since: gtk+ 2.4

$button->set_alignment ($xalign, $yalign)

* $xalign (double)

* $yalign (double)

Since: gtk+ 2.4

$button->clicked

$button->enter

boolean = $button->get_focus_on_click

Since: gtk+ 2.4

$button->set_focus_on_click ($focus_on_click)

* $focus_on_click (boolean)

Since: gtk+ 2.4

widget or undef = $button->get_image

Since: gtk+ 2.6

positiontype = $button->get_image_position

Since: gtk+ 2.9

$button->set_image_position ($position)

* $position (Gtk2::PositionType)

Since: gtk+ 2.9

$button->set_image ($image)

* $image (Gtk2::Widget or undef)

Since: gtk+ 2.6

string = $button->get_label

$button->set_label ($label)

* $label (string)

$button->leave

$button->pressed

$button->released

reliefstyle = $button->get_relief

$button->set_relief ($newstyle)

* $newstyle (Gtk2::ReliefStyle)

boolean = $button->get_use_stock

$button->set_use_stock ($use_stock)

* $use_stock (boolean)

boolean = $button->get_use_underline

$button->set_use_underline ($use_underline)

* $use_underline (boolean)

PROPERTIES

'focus-on-click' (boolean : readable / writable / private)

Whether the button grabs focus when it is clicked with the mouse

'image' (Gtk2::Widget : readable / writable / private)

Child widget to appear next to the button text

'image-position' (Gtk2::PositionType : readable / writable / private)

The position of the image relative to the text

'label' (string : readable / writable / construct / private)

Text of the label widget inside the button, if the button contains a label widget

'relief' (Gtk2::ReliefStyle : readable / writable / private)

The border relief style

'use-stock' (boolean : readable / writable / construct / private)

If set, the label is used to pick a stock item instead of being displayed

'use-underline' (boolean : readable / writable / construct / private)

If set, an underline in the text indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key

'xalign' (Glib::Float : readable / writable / private)

Horizontal position of child in available space. 0.0 is left aligned, 1.0 is right aligned

'yalign' (Glib::Float : readable / writable / private)

Vertical position of child in available space. 0.0 is top aligned, 1.0 is bottom aligned

SIGNALS

pressed (Gtk2::Button)

released (Gtk2::Button)

clicked (Gtk2::Button)

enter (Gtk2::Button)

leave (Gtk2::Button)

ENUMS AND FLAGS
