Detailed Description

A GtkToolPalette allows you to add GtkToolItems to a palette-like container with different categories and drag and drop support. A GtkToolPalette is created with a call to gtkToolPaletteNew. GtkToolItems cannot be added directly to a GtkToolPalette - instead they are added to a GtkToolItemGroup which can than be added to a GtkToolPalette. To add a GtkToolItemGroup to a GtkToolPalette, use gtkContainerAdd.
GtkWidget *palette, *group;
GtkToolItem *item; palette = gtk_tool_palette_new ();
group = gtk_tool_item_group_new (_("Test Category"));
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (palette), group); item = gtk_tool_button_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_OK);
gtk_tool_item_group_insert (GTK_TOOL_ITEM_GROUP (group), item, -1);
The easiest way to use drag and drop with GtkToolPalette is to call gtkToolPaletteAddDragDest with the desired drag source palette and the desired drag target widget. Then gtkToolPaletteGetDragItem can be used to get the dragged item in the "drag-data-received" signal handler of the drag target.

Enums and Flags

Signals

Properties

icon-size [GtkIconSize : Read / Write]
The size of the icons in a tool palette is normally determined by the "toolbar-icon-size" setting. When this property is set, it overrides the setting. This should only be used for special-purpose tool palettes, normal application tool palettes should respect the user preferences for the size of icons. Default value: GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR Since 2.20
icon-size-set [logical : Read / Write]
Is TRUE if the "icon-size" property has been set. Default value: FALSE Since 2.20
toolbar-style [GtkToolbarStyle : Read / Write]
The style of items in the tool palette. Default value: GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS Since 2.20
