Implemented Interfaces
GtkRadioButton implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable, GtkActionable and GtkActivatable.
Includes
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
Description
A single radio button performs the same basic function as a GtkCheckButton, as its position in the object hierarchy reflects. It is only when multiple radio buttons are grouped together that they become a different user interface component in their own right.
Every radio button is a member of some group of radio buttons. When one is selected, all other radio buttons in the same group are deselected. A GtkRadioButton is one way of giving the user a choice from many options.
Radio button widgets are created with gtk_radio_button_new(), passing NULL as the argument if this is the first radio button in a group. In subsequent calls, the group you wish to add this button to should be passed as an argument. Optionally, gtk_radio_button_new_with_label() can be used if you want a text label on the radio button.
Alternatively, when adding widgets to an existing group of radio buttons, use gtk_radio_button_new_from_widget() with a GtkRadioButton that already has a group assigned to it. The convenience function gtk_radio_button_new_with_label_from_widget() is also provided.
To retrieve the group a GtkRadioButton is assigned to, use gtk_radio_button_get_group().
To remove a GtkRadioButton from one group and make it part of a new one, use gtk_radio_button_set_group().
The group list does not need to be freed, as each GtkRadioButton will remove itself and its list item when it is destroyed.
CSS nodes
A GtkRadioButton with indicator (see gtk_toggle_button_set_mode()) has a main CSS node with name radiobutton and a subnode with name radio.
A GtkRadioButton without indicator changes the name of its main node to button and adds a .radio style class to it. The subnode is invisible in this case.
How to create a group of two radio buttons.
When an unselected button in the group is clicked the clicked button receives the “toggled” signal, as does the previously selected button. Inside the “toggled” handler, gtk_toggle_button_get_active() can be used to determine if the button has been selected or deselected.
Functions
gtk_radio_button_new ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_radio_button_new (GSList *group); Creates a new GtkRadioButton. To be of any practical value, a widget should then be packed into the radio button.
Parameters
group | an existing radio button group, or | [element-type GtkRadioButton][allow-none] |
Returns
a new radio button
gtk_radio_button_new_from_widget ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_radio_button_new_from_widget (GtkRadioButton *radio_group_member); Creates a new GtkRadioButton, adding it to the same group as radio_group_member . As with gtk_radio_button_new(), a widget should be packed into the radio button.
[constructor]
Parameters
radio_group_member | an existing GtkRadioButton. | [allow-none] |
Returns
a new radio button.
[transfer none]
gtk_radio_button_new_with_label ()
GtkWidget * gtk_radio_button_new_with_label (GSList *group,const gchar *label);
Creates a new GtkRadioButton with a text label.
Parameters
group | an existing radio button group, or | [element-type GtkRadioButton][allow-none] |
label | the text label to display next to the radio button. |
Returns
a new radio button.
gtk_radio_button_new_with_label_from_widget ()
GtkWidget * gtk_radio_button_new_with_label_from_widget (GtkRadioButton *radio_group_member,const gchar *label);
Creates a new GtkRadioButton with a text label, adding it to the same group as radio_group_member .
[constructor]
Parameters
radio_group_member | widget to get radio group from or | [allow-none] |
label | a text string to display next to the radio button. |
Returns
a new radio button.
[transfer none]
gtk_radio_button_new_with_mnemonic ()
GtkWidget * gtk_radio_button_new_with_mnemonic (GSList *group,const gchar *label);
Creates a new GtkRadioButton containing a label, adding it to the same group as group . The label will be created using gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic(), so underscores in label indicate the mnemonic for the button.
Parameters
group | the radio button group, or | [element-type GtkRadioButton][allow-none] |
label | the text of the button, with an underscore in front of the mnemonic character |
Returns
a new GtkRadioButton
gtk_radio_button_new_with_mnemonic_from_widget ()
GtkWidget * gtk_radio_button_new_with_mnemonic_from_widget (GtkRadioButton *radio_group_member,const gchar *label);
Creates a new GtkRadioButton containing a label. The label will be created using gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic(), so underscores in label indicate the mnemonic for the button.
[constructor]
Parameters
radio_group_member | widget to get radio group from or | [allow-none] |
label | the text of the button, with an underscore in front of the mnemonic character |
gtk_radio_button_set_group ()
void gtk_radio_button_set_group (GtkRadioButton *radio_button,GSList *group);
Sets a GtkRadioButton’s group. It should be noted that this does not change the layout of your interface in any way, so if you are changing the group, it is likely you will need to re-arrange the user interface to reflect these changes.
Parameters
radio_button | ||
group | an existing radio button group, such as one returned from | [element-type GtkRadioButton][allow-none] |
gtk_radio_button_get_group ()
GSList *
gtk_radio_button_get_group (GtkRadioButton *radio_button); Retrieves the group assigned to a radio button.
Parameters
radio_button |
Returns
a linked list containing all the radio buttons in the same group as radio_button . The returned list is owned by the radio button and must not be modified or freed.
[element-type GtkRadioButton][transfer none]
gtk_radio_button_join_group ()
void gtk_radio_button_join_group (GtkRadioButton *radio_button,GtkRadioButton *group_source);
Joins a GtkRadioButton object to the group of another GtkRadioButton object
Use this in language bindings instead of the gtk_radio_button_get_group() and gtk_radio_button_set_group() methods
A common way to set up a group of radio buttons is the following:
radiobutton ├── radio ╰── <child>
Parameters
radio_button | the GtkRadioButton object | |
group_source | a radio button object whos group we are joining, or | [allow-none] |
Since: 3.0
Types and Values
struct GtkRadioButton
struct GtkRadioButton;
Property Details
The “group” property
“group” GtkRadioButton *
Sets a new group for a radio button.
Owner: GtkRadioButton
Flags: Write
Signal Details
The “group-changed” signal
void user_function (GtkRadioButton *button, gpointer user_data)
Emitted when the group of radio buttons that a radio button belongs to changes. This is emitted when a radio button switches from being alone to being part of a group of 2 or more buttons, or vice-versa, and when a button is moved from one group of 2 or more buttons to a different one, but not when the composition of the group that a button belongs to changes.
Parameters
button | the object which received the signal | |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run First
Since: 2.4
