GI.Gtk.Objects.InfoBar

InfoBar is a widget that can be used to show messages to the user without showing a dialog. It is often temporarily shown at the top or bottom of a document. In contrast to Dialog, which has a action area at the bottom, InfoBar has an action area at the side.

The API of InfoBar is very similar to Dialog, allowing you to add buttons to the action area with infoBarAddButton or gtk_info_bar_new_with_buttons(). The sensitivity of action widgets can be controlled with infoBarSetResponseSensitive. To add widgets to the main content area of a InfoBar, use infoBarGetContentArea and add your widgets to the container.

Similar to MessageDialog, the contents of a InfoBar can by classified as error message, warning, informational message, etc, by using infoBarSetMessageType. GTK+ may use the message type to determine how the message is displayed.

A simple example for using a InfoBar:

C code

GtkWidget *widget, *message_label, *content_area;
GtkWidget *grid;
GtkInfoBar *bar;

// set up info bar
widget = gtk_info_bar_new ();
bar = GTK_INFO_BAR (widget);
grid = gtk_grid_new ();

gtk_widget_set_no_show_all (widget, TRUE);
message_label = gtk_label_new ("");
content_area = gtk_info_bar_get_content_area (bar);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (content_area),
                   message_label);
gtk_info_bar_add_button (bar,
                         _("_OK"),
                         GTK_RESPONSE_OK);
g_signal_connect (bar,
                  "response",
                  G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_hide),
                  NULL);
gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid),
                 widget,
                 0, 2, 1, 1);

// ...

// show an error message
gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL (message_label), "An error occurred!");
gtk_info_bar_set_message_type (bar,
                               GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR);
gtk_widget_show (bar);

GtkInfoBar as GtkBuildable

The GtkInfoBar implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the content area and action area as internal children with the names “content_area” and “action_area”.

GtkInfoBar supports a custom <action-widgets> element, which can contain multiple <action-widget> elements. The “response” attribute specifies a numeric response, and the content of the element is the id of widget (which should be a child of the dialogs actionArea).

CSS nodes

GtkInfoBar has a single CSS node with name infobar. The node may get one of the style classes .info, .warning, .error or .question, depending on the message type.

Properties

messageType

The type of the message.

The type may be used to determine the appearance of the info bar.

Since: 2.18

constructInfoBarMessageType :: (IsInfoBar o, MonadIO m) => MessageType -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Construct a GValueConstruct with valid value for the “message-type” property. This is rarely needed directly, but it is used by new.

getInfoBarMessageType :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> m MessageType

Get the value of the “message-type” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get infoBar #messageType

setInfoBarMessageType :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> MessageType -> m ()

Set the value of the “message-type” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set infoBar [ #messageType := value ]

revealed

No description available in the introspection data.

constructInfoBarRevealed :: (IsInfoBar o, MonadIO m) => Bool -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Construct a GValueConstruct with valid value for the “revealed” property. This is rarely needed directly, but it is used by new.

getInfoBarRevealed :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> m Bool

Get the value of the “revealed” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get infoBar #revealed

setInfoBarRevealed :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> Bool -> m ()

Set the value of the “revealed” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set infoBar [ #revealed := value ]

showCloseButton

Whether to include a standard close button.

Since: 3.10

constructInfoBarShowCloseButton :: (IsInfoBar o, MonadIO m) => Bool -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Construct a GValueConstruct with valid value for the “show-close-button” property. This is rarely needed directly, but it is used by new.

getInfoBarShowCloseButton :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> m Bool

Get the value of the “show-close-button” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get infoBar #showCloseButton

setInfoBarShowCloseButton :: (MonadIO m, IsInfoBar o) => o -> Bool -> m ()

Set the value of the “show-close-button” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set infoBar [ #showCloseButton := value ]

Signals

close

type InfoBarCloseCallback = IO ()

The close signal is a [keybinding signal][GtkBindingSignal] which gets emitted when the user uses a keybinding to dismiss the info bar.

The default binding for this signal is the Escape key.

Since: 2.18

afterInfoBarClose :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarCloseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the close signal, to be run after the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

after infoBar #close callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onInfoBarClose :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarCloseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the close signal, to be run before the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

on infoBar #close callback

response

type InfoBarResponseCallback

Arguments

 = Int32

responseId: the response ID

-> IO ()

Emitted when an action widget is clicked or the application programmer calls dialogResponse. The responseId depends on which action widget was clicked.

Since: 2.18

afterInfoBarResponse :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarResponseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the response signal, to be run after the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

after infoBar #response callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onInfoBarResponse :: (IsInfoBar a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => InfoBarResponseCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the response signal, to be run before the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

on infoBar #response callback
