Detailed Description

A widget that displays a small to medium amount of text.

A simple setable widget for holding a Glib::ustring.

The Label widget looks like this:

label1.png

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gtk::Label::Label ( Label&&  src)
noexcept
Gtk::Label::Label ( const Label )
delete
Gtk::Label::~Label ( )
overridenoexcept
Gtk::Label::Label ( )
Gtk::Label::Label ( const Glib::ustring label,
bool  mnemonic = false 
)
explicit
Gtk::Label::Label ( const Glib::ustring label,
float  xalign,
float  yalign,
bool  mnemonic = false 
)

This constructor is a shortcut for often used code when you want to create a label with alignment different than default one.

Gtk::Label label(text, x, y, mnemonic);

is equivalent to:

Gtk::Label label(text, mnemonic);
label.set_alignment(x, y);
Deprecated:
Use another constructor.
Gtk::Label::Label ( const Glib::ustring label,
Align  xalign,
Align  yalign = ALIGN_CENTER,
bool  mnemonic = false 
)

This constructor is a shortcut for often used code when you want to create a label with alignment different than default one.

Gtk::Label label(text, x, y, mnemonic);

is equivalent to:

Gtk::Label label(text, mnemonic);
label.set_halign(x);
label.set_valign(y);

Member Function Documentation

double Gtk::Label::get_angle ( ) const

Gets the angle of rotation for the label.

See set_angle().

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Returns
The angle of rotation for the label.
Pango::AttrList Gtk::Label::get_attributes ( ) const

Gets the attribute list that was set on the label using set_attributes(), if any.

This function does not reflect attributes that come from the labels markup (see set_markup()). If you want to get the effective attributes for the label, use pango_layout_get_attribute (gtk_label_get_layout (label)).

Returns
The attribute list, or nullptr if none was set.
Glib::ustring Gtk::Label::get_current_uri ( ) const

Returns the URI for the currently active link in the label.

The active link is the one under the mouse pointer or, in a selectable label, the link in which the text cursor is currently positioned.

This function is intended for use in a Gtk::Label::signal_activate_link() handler or for use in a Gtk::Widget::signal_query_tooltip() handler.

Since gtkmm 2.18:
Returns
The currently active URI. The string is owned by GTK+ and must not be freed or modified.
Pango::EllipsizeMode Gtk::Label::get_ellipsize ( ) const

Returns the ellipsizing position of the label.

See set_ellipsize().

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Returns
Pango::EllipsizeMode.
Justification Gtk::Label::get_justify ( ) const

Returns the justification of the label.

See set_justify().

Returns
Gtk::Justification.
Glib::ustring Gtk::Label::get_label ( ) const

Fetches the text from a label widget including any embedded underlines indicating mnemonics and Pango markup.

(See get_text()).

Returns
The text of the label widget.
Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Layout> Gtk::Label::get_layout ( )

) const

Obtains the coordinates where the label will draw the Pango::Layout representing the text in the label; useful to convert mouse events into coordinates inside the Pango::Layout, e.g. to take some action if some part of the label is clicked.

Of course you will need to create a Gtk::EventBox to receive the events, and pack the label inside it, since labels are windowless (they return false from Gtk::Widget::get_has_window()).

Sets the angle of rotation for the label.

An angle of 90 reads from from bottom to top, an angle of 270, from top to bottom. The angle setting for the label is ignored if the label is selectable, wrapped, or ellipsized.

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters
angleThe angle that the baseline of the label makes with the horizontal, in degrees, measured counterclockwise.
void Gtk::Label::set_attributes ( Pango::AttrList attrs)

modeA Pango::EllipsizeMode.
void Gtk::Label::set_justify ( Justification  jtype)

Sets the alignment of the lines in the text of the label relative to each other.

Gtk::JUSTIFY_LEFT is the default value when the widget is first created with new(). If you instead want to set the alignment of the label as a whole, use Gtk::Widget::set_halign() instead. set_justify() has no effect on labels containing only a single line.

Parameters
jtypeA Gtk::Justification.
void Gtk::Label::set_label ( const Glib::ustring str)

Sets the text of the label.

The label is interpreted as including embedded underlines and/or Pango markup depending on the values of the Gtk::Label::property_use_underline() and Gtk::Label::property_use_markup() properties.

Parameters
strThe new text to set for the label.
void Gtk::Label::set_line_wrap ( bool  wrap = true)

Toggles line wrapping within the Gtk::Label widget.

true makes it break lines if text exceeds the widget’s size. false lets the text get cut off by the edge of the widget if it exceeds the widget size.

Note that setting line wrapping to true does not make the label wrap at its parent container’s width, because GTK+ widgets conceptually can’t make their requisition depend on the parent container’s size. For a label that wraps at a specific position, set the label’s width using Gtk::Widget::set_size_request().

Parameters
wrapThe setting.
void Gtk::Label::set_line_wrap_mode ( Pango::WrapMode  wrap_mode)

If line wrapping is on (see set_line_wrap()) this controls how the line wrapping is done.

The default is Pango::WRAP_WORD which means wrap on word boundaries.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Parameters
wrap_modeThe line wrapping mode.
void Gtk::Label::set_lines ( int  lines)

Sets the number of lines to which an ellipsized, wrapping label should be limited.

This has no effect if the label is not wrapping or ellipsized. Set this to -1 if you don’t want to limit the number of lines.

Since gtkmm 3.10:
Parameters
linesThe desired number of lines, or -1.
void Gtk::Label::set_markup ( const Glib::ustring str)

Parses str which is marked up with the [Pango text markup language][PangoMarkupFormat], setting the label’s text and attribute list based on the parse results.

If the str is external data, you may need to escape it with Glib::markup_escape_text() or Glib::markup_printf_escaped():

[C example ellipted]

This function will set the Gtk::Label::property_use_markup() property to true as a side effect.

If you set the label contents using the Gtk::Label::property_label() property you should also ensure that you set the Gtk::Label::property_use_markup() property accordingly.

See also: set_text()

Parameters
strA markup string (see [Pango markup format][PangoMarkupFormat]).
void Gtk::Label::set_markup_with_mnemonic ( const Glib::ustring str)

Parses str which is marked up with the [Pango text markup language][PangoMarkupFormat], setting the label’s text and attribute list based on the parse results.

If characters in str are preceded by an underscore, they are underlined indicating that they represent a keyboard accelerator called a mnemonic.

The mnemonic key can be used to activate another widget, chosen automatically, or explicitly using set_mnemonic_widget().

Parameters
strA markup string (see [Pango markup format][PangoMarkupFormat]).
void Gtk::Label::set_max_width_chars ( int  n_chars)

Sets the desired maximum width in characters of label to n_chars.

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters
n_charsThe new desired maximum width, in characters.
void Gtk::Label::set_mnemonic_widget ( Widget widget)

If the label has been set so that it has an mnemonic key (using i.e. set_markup_with_mnemonic(), set_text_with_mnemonic(), new_with_mnemonic() or the “use_underline” property) the label can be associated with a widget that is the target of the mnemonic.

When the label is inside a widget (like a Gtk::Button or a Gtk::Notebook tab) it is automatically associated with the correct widget, but sometimes (i.e. when the target is a Gtk::Entry next to the label) you need to set it explicitly using this function.

The target widget will be accelerated by emitting the GtkWidget::mnemonic-activate signal on it. The default handler for this signal will activate the widget if there are no mnemonic collisions and toggle focus between the colliding widgets otherwise.

Parameters
widgetThe target Gtk::Widget.
void Gtk::Label::set_pattern ( const Glib::ustring pattern)

The pattern of underlines you want under the existing text within the Gtk::Label widget.

For example if the current text of the label says “FooBarBaz” passing a pattern of “___ ___” will underline “Foo” and “Baz” but not “Bar”.

Parameters
patternThe pattern as described above.
void Gtk::Label::set_selectable ( bool  setting = true)
