Gtk.Notebook.set_tab_detachable

### Method

# Gtk Notebookset_tab_detachable

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    gtk_notebook_set_tab_detachable (
      GtkNotebook* notebook,
      GtkWidget* child,
      gboolean detachable
    )

#### Description [src]

Sets whether the tab can be detached from `notebook` to another notebook or widget.

Note that two notebooks must share a common group identifier (see `gtk_notebook_set_group_name()`) to allow automatic tabs interchange between them.

If you want a widget to interact with a notebook through DnD (i.e.: accept dragged tabs from it) it must be set as a drop destination and accept the target “GTK_NOTEBOOK_TAB”. The notebook will fill the selection with a GtkWidget** pointing to the child widget that corresponds to the dropped tab.

Note that you should use `gtk_notebook_detach_tab()` instead of `gtk_notebook_remove_page()` if you want to remove the tab from the source notebook as part of accepting a drop. Otherwise, the source notebook will think that the dragged tab was removed from underneath the ongoing drag operation, and will initiate a drag cancel animation.

    static void
    on_drag_data_received (GtkWidget        *widget,
                           GdkDrop          *drop,
                           GtkSelectionData *data,
                           guint             time,
                           gpointer          user_data)
    {
      GtkDrag *drag;
      GtkWidget *notebook;
      GtkWidget **child;

      drag = gtk_drop_get_drag (drop);
      notebook = g_object_get_data (drag, "gtk-notebook-drag-origin");
      child = (void*) gtk_selection_data_get_data (data);

      // process_widget (*child);

      gtk_notebook_detach_tab (GTK_NOTEBOOK (notebook), *child);
    }

If you want a notebook to accept drags from other widgets, you will have to set your own DnD code to do it.

#### Parameters

`child`

  Type: `GtkWidget`

  A child `GtkWidget`

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`detachable`

  Type: `gboolean`

  Whether the tab is detachable or not.
