Description

The frame widget is a Bin that surrounds its child with a decorative frame and an optional label. If present, the label is drawn in a gap in the top side of the frame. The position of the label can be controlled with gtk_frame_set_label_align().

GtkFrame as GtkBuildable

The GtkFrame implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing a child in the label position by specifying "label" as the "type" attribute of a <child> element. A normal content child can be specified without specifying a <child> type attribute.

Example 38. A UI definition fragment with GtkFrame

<object class="GtkFrame">
  <child type="label">
    <object class="GtkLabel" id="frame-label"/>
  </child>
  <child>
    <object class="GtkEntry" id="frame-content"/>
  </child>
</object>

Details

GtkFrame

typedef struct _GtkFrame GtkFrame;

gtk_frame_new ()

GtkWidget*          gtk_frame_new                       (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkFrame, with optional label label. If label is NULL, the label is omitted.

label : the text to use as the label of the frame
Returns : a new GtkFrame widget

gtk_frame_set_label ()

void                gtk_frame_set_label                 (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         const gchar *label);

Sets the text of the label. If label is NULL, the current label is removed.

frame : a GtkFrame
label : the text to use as the label of the frame

gtk_frame_set_label_widget ()

void                gtk_frame_set_label_widget          (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         GtkWidget *label_widget);

Sets the label widget for the frame. This is the widget that will appear embedded in the top edge of the frame as a title.

frame : a GtkFrame
label_widget : the new label widget

gtk_frame_set_label_align ()

void                gtk_frame_set_label_align           (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         gfloat xalign,
                                                         gfloat yalign);

Sets the alignment of the frame widget's label. The default values for a newly created frame are 0.0 and 0.5.

frame : a GtkFrame
xalign : The position of the label along the top edge of the widget. A value of 0.0 represents left alignment; 1.0 represents right alignment.
yalign : The y alignment of the label. A value of 0.0 aligns under the frame; 1.0 aligns above the frame. If the values are exactly 0.0 or 1.0 the gap in the frame won't be painted because the label will be completely above or below the frame.

gtk_frame_set_shadow_type ()

void                gtk_frame_set_shadow_type           (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         GtkShadowType type);

Sets the shadow type for frame.

frame : a GtkFrame
type : the new GtkShadowType

gtk_frame_get_label ()

const gchar*        gtk_frame_get_label                 (GtkFrame *frame);

If the frame's label widget is a GtkLabel, returns the text in the label widget. (The frame will have a GtkLabel for the label widget if a non-NULL argument was passed to gtk_frame_new().)

frame : a GtkFrame
Returns : the text in the label, or NULL if there was no label widget or the lable widget was not a GtkLabel. This string is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified or freed.

gtk_frame_get_label_align ()

void                gtk_frame_get_label_align           (GtkFrame *frame,
                                                         gfloat *xalign,
                                                         gfloat *yalign);

Retrieves the X and Y alignment of the frame's label. See gtk_frame_set_label_align().

frame : a GtkFrame
xalign : location to store X alignment of frame's label, or NULL
yalign : location to store X alignment of frame's label, or NULL

gtk_frame_get_label_widget ()

GtkWidget*          gtk_frame_get_label_widget          (GtkFrame *frame);

Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See gtk_frame_set_label_widget().

frame : a GtkFrame
Returns : the label widget, or NULL if there is none.

gtk_frame_get_shadow_type ()

GtkShadowType       gtk_frame_get_shadow_type           (GtkFrame *frame);

Retrieves the shadow type of the frame. See gtk_frame_set_shadow_type().

frame : a GtkFrame
Returns : the current shadow type of the frame.
