## 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:

  color | A Gdk::Color to set the current color with.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

## 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:

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.

const GtkColorButton* Gtk::ColorButton::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Button.

GtkColorButton* Gtk::ColorButton::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<guint16> Gtk::ColorButton::property_alpha | ( |  | ) | const

The selected opacity value (0 fully transparent, 65535 fully opaque).

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<Gdk::Color> Gtk::ColorButton::property_color | ( |  | ) | const

The selected color.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<Gdk::Color> Gtk::ColorButton::property_color | ( |  | ) |

The selected color.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gtk::ColorButton::property_use_alpha | ( |  | ) | const

Whether or not to give the color an alpha value.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

void Gtk::ColorButton::set_alpha | ( | guint16 | alpha | ) |

Sets the current opacity to be alpha.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  alpha | An integer between 0 and 65535.

void Gtk::ColorButton::set_color | ( | const Gdk::Color& | color | ) |

Sets the current color to be color.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  color | A Gdk::Color to set the current color with.

void Gtk::ColorButton::set_title | ( | const Glib::ustring & | title | ) |

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  title | String containing new window title.

void Gtk::ColorButton::set_use_alpha | ( | bool | use_alpha = `true` | ) |

Sets whether or not the color button should use the alpha channel.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  use_alpha | `true` if color button should use alpha channel, `false` if not.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::ColorButton::signal_color_set | ( |  | ) |

The color_set signal is emitted when the user selects a color.

When handling this signal, use get_color() and get_alpha() to find out which color was just selected.
