void Gtk::ToolButton::set_icon_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | icon_name | ) |

Sets the icon for the tool button from a named themed icon.

See the docs for Gtk::IconTheme for more details. The "icon_name" property only has an effect if not overridden by non-`0` "label", "icon_widget" and "stock_id" properties.

Since gtkmm 2.8:

Parameters:

  icon_name | The name of the themed icon.

void Gtk::ToolButton::set_icon_widget | ( | Widget& | icon_widget | ) |

Sets icon as the widget used as icon on button.

If icon_widget is `0` the icon is determined by the "stock_id" property. If the "stock_id" property is also `0`, button will not have an icon.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  icon_widget | The widget used as icon, or `0`.

void Gtk::ToolButton::set_label | ( | const Glib::ustring & | label | ) |

Sets label as the label used for the tool button.

The "label" property only has an effect if not overridden by a non-`0` "label_widget" property. If both the "label_widget" and "label" properties are `0`, the label is determined by the "stock_id" property. If the "stock_id" property is also `0`, button will not have a label.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  label | A string that will be used as label, or `0`.

void Gtk::ToolButton::set_label_widget | ( | Widget& | label_widget | ) |

Sets label_widget as the widget that will be used as the label for button.

If label_widget is `0` the "label" property is used as label. If "label" is also `0`, the label in the stock item determined by the "stock_id" property is used as label. If "stock_id" is also `0`, button does not have a label.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  label_widget | The widget used as label, or `0`.

void Gtk::ToolButton::set_stock_id | ( | const Gtk::StockID& | stock_id | ) |

Sets the name of the stock item.

See the ToolButton::ToolButton(const Gtk::StockID& stock_id, IconSize size) constructor. The stock_id property only has an effect if not overridden by "label" and "icon_widget" properties.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  stock_id | A name of a stock item, or `0`.

void Gtk::ToolButton::set_use_underline | ( | bool | use_underline = `true` | ) |

If set, an underline in the label property indicates that the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key in the overflow menu.

For example, if the label property is "_Open" and use_underline is `true`, the label on the tool button will be "Open" and the item on the overflow menu will have an underlined 'O'.

Labels shown on tool buttons never have mnemonics on them; this property only affects the menu item on the overflow menu.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  use_underline | Whether the button label has the form "_Open".

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::ToolButton::signal_clicked | ( |  | ) |

This signal is emitted when the tool button is clicked with the mouse or activated with the keyboard.

Deprecated:
  This is an "action" key-binding signal that you should rarely need to use.

Prototype:
  `void on_my_clicked()`
