GI.Gtk.Objects.ModelButton

GtkModelButton is a button class that can use a Action as its model. In contrast to ToggleButton or RadioButton, which can also be backed by a Action via the Actionable:action-name property, GtkModelButton will adapt its appearance according to the kind of action it is backed by, and appear either as a plain, check or radio button.

Model buttons are used when popovers from a menu model with popoverNewFromModel; they can also be used manually in a PopoverMenu.

When the action is specified via the Actionable:action-name and Actionable:action-target properties, the role of the button (i.e. whether it is a plain, check or radio button) is determined by the type of the action and doesn't have to be explicitly specified with the ModelButton:role property.

The content of the button is specified by the ModelButton:text and ModelButton:icon properties.

The appearance of model buttons can be influenced with the ModelButton:centered and ModelButton:iconic properties.

Model buttons have built-in support for submenus in PopoverMenu. To make a GtkModelButton that opens a submenu when activated, set the ModelButton:menuName property. To make a button that goes back to the parent menu, you should set the ModelButton:inverted property to place the submenu indicator at the opposite side.

Example

<object class="GtkPopoverMenu">
  <child>
    <object class="GtkBox">
      <property name="visible">True</property>
      <property name="margin">10</property>
      <child>
        <object class="GtkModelButton">
          <property name="visible">True</property>
          <property name="action-name">view.cut</property>
          <property name="text" translatable="yes">Cut</property>
        </object>
      </child>
      <child>
        <object class="GtkModelButton">
          <property name="visible">True</property>
          <property name="action-name">view.copy</property>
          <property name="text" translatable="yes">Copy</property>
        </object>
      </child>
      <child>
        <object class="GtkModelButton">
          <property name="visible">True</property>
          <property name="action-name">view.paste</property>
          <property name="text" translatable="yes">Paste</property>
        </object>
      </child>

GtkModelButton has a main CSS node with name modelbutton, and a subnode, which will have the name check, radio or arrow, depending on the role of the button and whether it has a menu name set.

The subnode is positioned before or after the content nodes and gets the .left or .right style class, depending on where it is located.

╰── check

Iconic model buttons (see ModelButton:iconic) change the name of their main node to button and add a .model style class to it. The indicator subnode is invisible in this case.
