Switch

open class Switch : Widget, SwitchProtocol

GtkSwitch is a “light switch” that has two states: on or off.

An example GtkSwitch

The user can control which state should be active by clicking the empty area, or by dragging the handle.

GtkSwitch can also handle situations where the underlying state changes with a delay. See [signalGtkSwitch::state-set] for details.

CSS nodes

├── label
╰── slider

GtkSwitch has four css nodes, the main node with the name switch and subnodes for the slider and the on and off labels. Neither of them is using any style classes.

Accessibility

GtkSwitch uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_SWITCH role.

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

    Declaration

    Swift

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

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • 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 Switch instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

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

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • 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 Switch instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

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

    Parameters

    op

    gpointer to the underlying object

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

    Declaration

    Swift

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

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional 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 Switch instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(_ op: UnsafePointer<GtkSwitch>?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Switch instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkSwitch>?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying C data type. Will retain GtkSwitch. i.e., ownership is transferred to the Switch instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init(retaining op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkSwitch>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Reference intialiser for a related type that implements SwitchProtocol Will retain GtkSwitch.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init<T>(switch other: T) where T : SwitchProtocol

    Parameters

    other

    an instance of a related type that implements SwitchProtocol

  • Unsafe typed initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to SwitchProtocol.

    Declaration

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    override public init<T>(retainingCPointer cPointer: UnsafeMutablePointer<T>)

    Parameters

  • Unsafe untyped initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to SwitchProtocol.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    override public init(raw p: UnsafeRawPointer)

    Parameters

    p
