class Gtk::Stack

Overview

Gtk::Stack is a container which only shows one of its children at a time.

In contrast to Gtk::Notebook, Gtk::Stack does not provide a means for users to change the visible child. Instead, a separate widget such as Gtk::StackSwitcher or Gtk::StackSidebar can be used with Gtk::Stack to provide this functionality.

Transitions between pages can be animated as slides or fades. This can be controlled with Gtk::Stack#transition_type=. These animations respect the [property@Gtk.Settings:gtk-enable-animations] setting.

Gtk::Stack maintains a Gtk::StackPage object for each added child, which holds additional per-child properties. You obtain the Gtk::StackPage for a child with Gtk::Stack#page and you can obtain a Gtk::SelectionModel containing all the pages with Gtk::Stack#pages.

Gtk::Stack as Gtk::Buildable

To set child-specific properties in a .ui file, create Gtk::StackPage objects explicitly, and set the child widget as a property on it:

WARNING ⚠️ The following code is in xml ⚠️

  <object class="Gtk::Stack" id="stack">
    <child>
      <object class="Gtk::StackPage">
        <property name="name">page1</property>
        <property name="title">In the beginning…</property>
        <property name="child">
          <object class="Gtk::Label">
            <property name="label">It was dark</property>
          </object>
        </property>
      </object>
    </child>

CSS nodes

Gtk::Stack has a single CSS node named stack.

Accessibility

Gtk::Stack uses the %GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_TAB_PANEL for the stack pages, which are the accessible parent objects of the child widgets.

Class Method Detail

def self.g_type : UInt64 #

Returns the type id (GType) registered in GLib type system.


Instance Method Detail

def add_child(child : Gtk::Widget) : Gtk::StackPage #

Adds a child to @stack.


def add_named(child : Gtk::Widget, name : String?) : Gtk::StackPage #

Adds a child to @stack.

The child is identified by the @name.


def add_titled(child : Gtk::Widget, name : String?, title : String) : Gtk::StackPage #

Adds a child to @stack.

The child is identified by the @name. The @title will be used by Gtk::StackSwitcher to represent @child in a tab bar, so it should be short.


def child_by_name(name : String) : Gtk::Widget? #

Finds the child with the name given as the argument.

Returns nil if there is no child with this name.


def hhomogeneous : Bool #

Gets whether @stack is horizontally homogeneous.


def hhomogeneous=(hhomogeneous : Bool) : Nil #

Sets the Gtk::Stack to be horizontally homogeneous or not.

If it is homogeneous, the Gtk::Stack will request the same width for all its children. If it isn't, the stack may change width when a different child becomes visible.


def hhomogeneous? : Bool #

def interpolate_size : Bool #

Returns whether the Gtk::Stack is set up to interpolate between the sizes of children on page switch.


def interpolate_size=(interpolate_size : Bool) : Nil #

Sets whether or not @stack will interpolate its size when changing the visible child.

If the [property@Gtk.Stack:interpolate-size] property is set to true, @stack will interpolate its size between the current one and the one it'll take after changing the visible child, according to the set transition duration.


def interpolate_size? : Bool #

def page(child : Gtk::Widget) : Gtk::StackPage #

Returns the Gtk::StackPage object for @child.


def pages : Gtk::SelectionModel #

Returns a GListModel that contains the pages of the stack.

This can be used to keep an up-to-date view. The model also implements Gtk::SelectionModel and can be used to track and modify the visible page.


def remove(child : Gtk::Widget) : Nil #

Removes a child widget from @stack.


def set_visible_child_full(name : String, transition : Gtk::StackTransitionType) : Nil #

Makes the child with the given name visible.

Note that the child widget has to be visible itself (see Gtk::Widget#show) in order to become the visible child of @stack.


def transition_duration : UInt32 #

Returns the amount of time (in milliseconds) that transitions between pages in @stack will take.


def transition_duration=(duration : UInt32) : Nil #

Sets the duration that transitions between pages in @stack will take.


def transition_running : Bool #

Returns whether the @stack is currently in a transition from one page to another.


def transition_running? : Bool #

def transition_type : Gtk::StackTransitionType #

Gets the type of animation that will be used for transitions between pages in @stack.


def transition_type=(transition : Gtk::StackTransitionType) : Nil #

Sets the type of animation that will be used for transitions between pages in @stack.

Available types include various kinds of fades and slides.

The transition type can be changed without problems at runtime, so it is possible to change the animation based on the page that is about to become current.


def vhomogeneous : Bool #

Gets whether @stack is vertically homogeneous.


def vhomogeneous=(vhomogeneous : Bool) : Nil #

Sets the Gtk::Stack to be vertically homogeneous or not.

If it is homogeneous, the Gtk::Stack will request the same height for all its children. If it isn't, the stack may change height when a different child becomes visible.


def vhomogeneous? : Bool #

def visible_child : Gtk::Widget? #

Gets the currently visible child of @stack.

Returns nil if there are no visible children.


def visible_child=(child : Gtk::Widget) : Nil #

Makes @child the visible child of @stack.

If @child is different from the currently visible child, the transition between the two will be animated with the current transition type of @stack.

Note that the @child widget has to be visible itself (see Gtk::Widget#show) in order to become the visible child of @stack.


def visible_child=(value : Gtk::Widget?) : Gtk::Widget? #

def visible_child_name : String? #

Returns the name of the currently visible child of @stack.

Returns nil if there is no visible child.


def visible_child_name=(name : String) : Nil #

Makes the child with the given name visible.

If @child is different from the currently visible child, the transition between the two will be animated with the current transition type of @stack.

Note that the child widget has to be visible itself (see Gtk::Widget#show) in order to become the visible child of @stack.
