Class
GtkDropDown
Description [src]
final class Gtk.DropDown : Gtk.Widget
implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
/* No available fields */
}
GtkDropDown
is a widget that allows the user to choose an item
from a list of options.
The GtkDropDown
displays the selected choice.
The options are given to GtkDropDown
in the form of GListModel
and how the individual options are represented is determined by
a GtkListItemFactory
. The default factory displays simple strings,
and adds a checkmark to the selected item in the popup.
To set your own factory, use gtk_drop_down_set_factory()
. It is
possible to use a separate factory for the items in the popup, with
gtk_drop_down_set_list_factory()
.
GtkDropDown
knows how to obtain strings from the items in a
GtkStringList
; for other models, you have to provide an expression
to find the strings via gtk_drop_down_set_expression()
.
GtkDropDown
can optionally allow search in the popup, which is
useful if the list of options is long. To enable the search entry,
use gtk_drop_down_set_enable_search()
.
Here is a UI definition example for GtkDropDown
with a simple model:
<object class="GtkDropDown">
<property name="model">
<object class="GtkStringList">
<items>
<item translatable="yes">Factory</item>
<item translatable="yes">Home</item>
<item translatable="yes">Subway</item>
</items>
</object>
</property>
</object>
If a GtkDropDown
is created in this manner, or with
gtk_drop_down_new_from_strings()
, for instance, the object returned from
gtk_drop_down_get_selected_item()
will be a GtkStringObject
.
To learn more about the list widget framework, see the overview.
CSS nodes
GtkDropDown
has a single CSS node with name dropdown,
with the button and popover nodes as children.
Accessibility
GtkDropDown
uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_COMBO_BOX
role.
