AppChooserButtonProtocol

public protocol AppChooserButtonProtocol : AppChooserProtocol, ComboBoxProtocol

The GtkAppChooserButton is a widget that lets the user select an application. It implements the GtkAppChooser interface.

Initially, a GtkAppChooserButton selects the first application in its list, which will either be the most-recently used application or, if GtkAppChooserButton:show-default-item is true, the default application.

The list of applications shown in a GtkAppChooserButton includes the recommended applications for the given content type. When GtkAppChooserButton:show-default-item is set, the default application is also included. To let the user chooser other applications, you can set the GtkAppChooserButton:show-dialog-item property, which allows to open a full GtkAppChooserDialog.

It is possible to add custom items to the list, using gtk_app_chooser_button_append_custom_item(). These items cause the GtkAppChooserButton::custom-item-activated signal to be emitted when they are selected.

To track changes in the selected application, use the GtkComboBox::changed signal.

The AppChooserButtonProtocol protocol exposes the methods and properties of an underlying GtkAppChooserButton instance. The default implementation of these can be found in the protocol extension below. For a concrete class that implements these methods and properties, see AppChooserButton. Alternatively, use AppChooserButtonRef as a lighweight, unowned reference if you already have an instance you just want to use.

  • The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.

    Note that getting this signal doesn’t itself guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed. When it is emitted is determined by the derived GObject class. If the implementor did not create the property with G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then any call to g_object_set_property() results in notify being emitted, even if the new value is the same as the old. If they did pass G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then this signal is emitted only when they explicitly call g_object_notify() or g_object_notify_by_pspec(), and common practice is to do that only when the value has actually changed.

    This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the g_signal_connect() call, like this:

    (C Language Example):

    g_signal_connect (text_view->buffer, "notify::paste-target-list",
                  G_CALLBACK (gtk_text_view_target_list_notify),
                  text_view)

    It is important to note that you must use canonical parameter names as detail strings for the notify signal.

    This represents the underlying notify::heading signal
