gtk_expander_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_expander_new (const gchar *label);

Creates a new expander using label as the text of the label.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_new_with_mnemonic ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_expander_new_with_mnemonic (const gchar *label);

Creates a new expander using label as the text of the label. If characters in label are preceded by an underscore, they are underlined. If you need a literal underscore character in a label, use '__' (two underscores). The first underlined character represents a keyboard accelerator called a mnemonic. Pressing Alt and that key activates the button.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_set_expanded ()

void
gtk_expander_set_expanded (GtkExpander *expander,
                           gboolean expanded);

Sets the state of the expander. Set to TRUE, if you want the child widget to be revealed, and FALSE if you want the child widget to be hidden.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_get_expanded ()

gboolean
gtk_expander_get_expanded (GtkExpander *expander);

Queries a GtkExpander and returns its current state. Returns TRUE if the child widget is revealed.

See gtk_expander_set_expanded().

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_set_spacing ()

void
gtk_expander_set_spacing (GtkExpander *expander,
                          gint spacing);

Sets the spacing field of expander , which is the number of pixels to place between expander and the child.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_get_spacing ()

gint
gtk_expander_get_spacing (GtkExpander *expander);

Gets the value set by gtk_expander_set_spacing().

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_set_label ()

void
gtk_expander_set_label (GtkExpander *expander,
                        const gchar *label);

Sets the text of the label of the expander to label .

This will also clear any previously set labels.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_get_label ()

const gchar *
gtk_expander_get_label (GtkExpander *expander);

Fetches the text from a label widget including any embedded underlines indicating mnemonics and Pango markup, as set by gtk_expander_set_label(). If the label text has not been set the return value will be NULL. This will be the case if you create an empty button with gtk_button_new() to use as a container.

Note that this function behaved differently in versions prior to 2.14 and used to return the label text stripped of embedded underlines indicating mnemonics and Pango markup. This problem can be avoided by fetching the label text directly from the label widget.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_set_use_underline ()

void
gtk_expander_set_use_underline (GtkExpander *expander,
                                gboolean use_underline);

If true, an underline in the text of the expander label indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_get_use_underline ()

gboolean
gtk_expander_get_use_underline (GtkExpander *expander);

Returns whether an embedded underline in the expander label indicates a mnemonic. See gtk_expander_set_use_underline().

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_set_use_markup ()

void
gtk_expander_set_use_markup (GtkExpander *expander,
                             gboolean use_markup);

Sets whether the text of the label contains markup in Pango's text markup language. See gtk_label_set_markup().

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_get_use_markup ()

gboolean
gtk_expander_get_use_markup (GtkExpander *expander);

Returns whether the label's text is interpreted as marked up with the Pango text markup language. See gtk_expander_set_use_markup().

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_set_label_widget ()

void
gtk_expander_set_label_widget (GtkExpander *expander,
                               GtkWidget *label_widget);

Set the label widget for the expander. This is the widget that will appear embedded alongside the expander arrow.

Since: 2.4

gtk_expander_get_label_widget ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_expander_get_label_widget (GtkExpander *expander);

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

void
gtk_expander_set_label_fill (GtkExpander *expander,
                             gboolean label_fill);

Sets whether the label widget should fill all available horizontal space allocated to expander .

Since: 2.22

gtk_expander_get_label_fill ()

gboolean
gtk_expander_get_label_fill (GtkExpander *expander);

Returns whether the label widget will fill all available horizontal space allocated to expander .
