Description

A GtkCheckButton places a discrete GtkToggleButton next to a widget, (usually a GtkLabel). See the section on GtkToggleButton widgets for more information about toggle/check buttons.

The important signal ('toggled') is also inherited from GtkToggleButton.

Details

GtkCheckButton

typedef struct _GtkCheckButton GtkCheckButton;

toggle_button is a GtkToggleButton representing the actual toggle button that composes the check button.

gtk_check_button_new ()

Returns :a GtkWidget.

gtk_check_button_new_with_label ()

GtkWidget*  gtk_check_button_new_with_label (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkCheckButton with a GtkLabel to the right of it.

label :the text for the check button.

gtk_check_button_new_with_mnemonic ()

GtkWidget*  gtk_check_button_new_with_mnemonic
                                            (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkCheckButton containing a label. The label will be created using gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic(), so underscores in label indicate the mnemonic for the check button.
