Detailed Description

The AboutDialog offers a simple way to display information about a program like its logo, name, copyright, website and license.

It is also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators and artists who have worked on the program. An about dialog is typically opened when the user selects the About option from the Help menu. All parts of the dialog are optional.

About dialogs often contain links and email addresses. Gtk::AboutDialog displays these as clickable links. By default, it calls gtk_show_uri() when a user clicks one. The behaviour can be overridden with the activate_link signal. Email addresses in the authors, documenters and artists properties are recognized by looking for <user>, URLs are recognized by looking for http://url, with the URL extending to the next space, tab or line break.

An AboutDialog looks like this:

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

authors

A 0-terminated array of strings.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_comments

(

const Glib::ustring &

comments

)

Sets the comments string to display in the about dialog.

This should be a short string of one or two lines.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

comments

A comments string.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_copyright

(

const Glib::ustring &

copyright

)

Sets the copyright string to display in the about dialog.

This should be a short string of one or two lines.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

copyright

(allow-none) the copyright string.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_documenters

(

const std::vector< Glib::ustring > &

documenters

)

Sets the strings which are displayed in the documenters tab of the secondary credits dialog.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

documenters

A 0-terminated array of strings.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_license

(

const Glib::ustring &

license

)

Sets the license information to be displayed in the secondary license dialog.

If license is 0, the license button is hidden.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

license

The license information or 0.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_license_type

(

License

license_type

)

Sets the license of the application showing the about dialog from a list of known licenses.

This function overrides the license set using set_license().

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

license_type

The type of license.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_logo

(

const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Pixbuf >&

logo

)

Sets the pixbuf to be displayed as logo in the about dialog.

If it is 0, the default window icon set with Gtk::Window::set_default_icon() will be used.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

logo	A Gdk::Pixbuf, or 0.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_logo_icon_name

(

const Glib::ustring &

icon_name

)

Sets the pixbuf to be displayed as logo in the about dialog.

If it is 0, the default window icon set with Gtk::Window::set_default_icon() will be used.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

icon_name

An icon name, or 0.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_program_name

(

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_translator_credits

(

const Glib::ustring &

translator_credits

)

Sets the translator credits string which is displayed in the translators tab of the secondary credits dialog.

The intended use for this string is to display the translator of the language which is currently used in the user interface. Using gettext(), a simple way to achieve that is to mark the string for translation: |[ gtk_about_dialog_set_translator_credits (about, _("translator-credits")); ]| It is a good idea to use the customary msgid "translator-credits" for this purpose, since translators will already know the purpose of that msgid, and since Gtk::AboutDialog will detect if "translator-credits" is untranslated and hide the tab.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

translator_credits

The translator credits.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_version

(

const Glib::ustring &

version

)

Sets the version string to display in the about dialog.

Parameters:

version

The version string.
