Detailed Description

A button to launch a color selection dialog.

The GtkColorButton is a button which displays the currently selected color an allows to open a color selection dialog to change the color. It is suitable widget for selecting a color in a preference dialog.

The ColorButton widget looks like this:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::ColorButton::~ColorButton ( ) [virtual]
Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton ( )

Creates a new color button.

This creates a widget in the form of a small button containing a swatch representing the current selected color. When the button is clicked, a color-selection dialog will open, allowing the user to select a color. The swatch will be updated to reflect the new color when the user finishes.

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton ( const Gdk::Color color) [explicit]

Creates a new color button with a predefined color.

Same as Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton(). Additionally takes a Gdk::Color and initializes the button with this color. Equivalent to calling set_color(color) after the default constructor.

Parameters:
colorA Gdk::Color to set the current color with.
Since gtkmm 2.4:
Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton ( const Gdk::RGBA rgba) [explicit]

Creates a new color button with a predefined color.

Same as Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton(). Additionally takes a Gdk::RGBA and initializes the button with this color. Equivalent to calling set_rgba(color) after the default constructor.

Parameters:
colorA Gdk::RGBA to set the current color with.
Since gtkmm 3.0:

Member Function Documentation

guint16 Gtk::ColorButton::get_alpha ( ) const

Returns the current alpha value.

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Returns:
An integer between 0 and 65535.
Gdk::Color Gtk::ColorButton::get_color ( ) const

Returns a copy of the the current color.

Changes to the return value will have no effect on the Gtk::ColorButton.

Returns:
A Gdk::Color representing the current internal color of the Gtk::ColorButton.
Since gtkmm 2.4:
Gdk::RGBA Gtk::ColorButton::get_rgba ( ) const

Returns a copy of the the current color.

Changes to the return value will have no effect on the Gtk::ColorButton.

Returns:
A Gdk::RGBA representing the current internal color of the Gtk::ColorButton.
Since gtkmm 3.0:
Glib::ustring Gtk::ColorButton::get_title ( ) const

Gets the title of the color selection dialog.

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Returns:
The title.
bool Gtk::ColorButton::get_use_alpha ( ) const

Does the color selection dialog use the alpha channel?

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Returns:
true if the color sample uses alpha channel, false if not.
