Graphics.UI.Gtk.Display.InfoBar

Report important messages to the user

Detail

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 horizontal action area at the bottom, InfoBar has a vertical 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. 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+ uses the message type to determine the background color of the message area.
