Assistant

open class Assistant : Window, AssistantProtocol

A GtkAssistant is a widget used to represent a generally complex operation splitted in several steps, guiding the user through its pages and controlling the page flow to collect the necessary data.

The design of GtkAssistant is that it controls what buttons to show and to make sensitive, based on what it knows about the page sequence and the type of each page, in addition to state information like the page completion and committed status.

If you have a case that doesn’t quite fit in GtkAssistants way of handling buttons, you can use the GTK_ASSISTANT_PAGE_CUSTOM page type and handle buttons yourself.

GtkAssistant as GtkBuildable

The GtkAssistant implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the action_area as internal children with the name “action_area”.

To add pages to an assistant in GtkBuilder, simply add it as a child to the GtkAssistant object, and set its child properties as necessary.

CSS nodes

GtkAssistant has a single CSS node with the name assistant.

The Assistant type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying GtkAssistant instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through AssistantProtocol conformance. Use Assistant as a strong reference or owner of a GtkAssistant instance.

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying `C` data type.

    This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Assistant instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkAssistant>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
    Show on GitHub

  • Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Assistant instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafePointer<GtkAssistant>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
    Show on GitHub

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Assistant instance.

    @inlinable
override public init!(gpointer op: gpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    gpointer to the underlying object
