public ToolItem()
Create an empty ToolItem.

Method Details

getExpand

public boolean getExpand()
Returns whether ToolItem is allocated extra space.
Returns:
TRUE if ToolItem is allocated extra space

getHomogeneous

public boolean getHomogeneous()
Returns whether the item is the same size as other homogeneous items.
Returns:
TRUE if the item is the same size as other homogeneous items

getIconSize

public IconSize getIconSize()
Returns the icon size used for ToolItem. Custom subclasses of ToolItem should call this function to find out what size icons they should use.
Returns:
a IconSize indicating the icon size used for ToolItem

getIsImportant

public boolean getIsImportant()
Returns whether ToolItem is considered important.
Returns:
TRUE if ToolItem is considered important

getOrientation

public Orientation getOrientation()
Returns the orientation used for ToolItem. Custom subclasses of ToolItem should call this function to find out what size icons they should use.
Returns:
a Orientation indicating the orientation used for ToolItem

getProxyMenuItem

public MenuItem getProxyMenuItem(String menuItemId)
If menuItemId matches the string passed to setProxyMenuItem(String,MenuItem) returns the corresponding MenuItem. Custom subclasses of ToolItem should use this function to update their menu item when the ToolItem changes. That the menuItemId must match ensures that a ToolItem will not inadvertently change a menu item that they did not create.
Parameters:
menuItemId - a string used to identify the menu item
Returns:
the MenuItem passed to setProxyMenuItem(String,MenuItem) if the menuItemId matches

getReliefStyle

public ReliefStyle getReliefStyle()
Returns the relief style of ToolItem. See Button.setRelief(ReliefStyle). Custom subclasses of ToolItem should call this function in the handler of the GtkToolItem::toolbar_reconfigured signal to find out the relief style of buttons.
Returns:
a ReliefStyle indicating the relief style used for ToolItem

getToolbarStyle

public ToolBarStyle getToolbarStyle()
Returns the toolbar style used for ToolItem. Custom subclasses of ToolItem should call this function in the handler of the GtkToolItem::toolbar_reconfigured signal to find out in what style the toolbar is displayed and change themselves accordingly.

Possibilities are:

  • GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH, meaning the tool item should show both an icon and a label, stacked vertically.
  • GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS, meaning the toolbar shows only icons.
  • GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT, meaning the tool item should only show text.
  • GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ, meaning the tool item should show both an icon and a label, arranged horizontally (however, note the GtkToolButton::has_text_horizontally that makes tool buttons not show labels when the toolbar style is GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ.
Returns:
a ToolBarStyle indicating the toolbar style used for ToolItem.

getUseDragWindow

public boolean getUseDragWindow()
Returns whether ToolItem has a drag window.
Returns:
TRUE if toolitem uses a drag window

getVisibleHorizontal

public boolean getVisibleHorizontal()
Returns whether the ToolItem is visible on toolbars that are docked horizontally.
Returns:
TRUE if ToolItem is visible on toolbars that are docked horizontally

getVisibleVertical

public boolean getVisibleVertical()
Returns whether ToolItem is visible on toolbars that are docked vertically.
Returns:
TRUE if ToolItem is visible on toolbars that are docked vertically

rebuildMenu

public void rebuildMenu()
Calling this function signals to the toolbar that the overflow menu item for this ToolItem has changed. If the overflow menu is visible when this function is called, the menu will be rebuilt.

retrieveProxyMenuItem

public MenuItem retrieveProxyMenuItem()
Returns the MenuItem that was last set by setProxyMenuItem(String,MenuItem) (ie the MenuItem that is going to appear in the overflow menu).
Returns:
the MenuItem that is going to appear in the overflow menu for tool_item.

setExpand

public void setExpand(boolean expand)
Sets whether the ToolItem is allocated extra space when there is more room on the ToolBar than needed by the ToolItems. The effect is that the item gets bigger when the ToolBar gets bigger and smaller when the ToolBar gets smaller.
Parameters:
expand - whether ToolItem is allocated extra space

setHomogeneous

public void setHomogeneous(boolean homogeneous)
Sets whether the ToolItem is to be allocated the same size as other homogeneous items. The effect is that all homogeneous items will have the same width as the widest of the items.
Parameters:
homogeneous - TRUE if the item is the same size as other homogeneous items

setIsImportant

public void setIsImportant(boolean isImportant)
Sets whether ToolItem should be considered important. The ToolButton class uses this property to determine whether to show or hide its label when the toolbar style is ToolBarStyle.BOTH_HORIZ. The result is that only tool buttons with the IS_IMPORTANT property set have labels, an effect known as "priority text".
Parameters:
isImportant - whether the tool item should be considered important

setProxyMenuItem

public void setProxyMenuItem(String menuItemId,
                             MenuItem menuItem)
