A button that links to a web page.
from gi.repository import Gtk
import sys
class MyWindow(Gtk.ApplicationWindow):
# a window
def __init__(self, app):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="GNOME LinkButton", application=app)
self.set_default_size(250, 50)
# a linkbutton pointing to the given URI
button = Gtk.LinkButton(uri="http://live.gnome.org")
# with given text
button.set_label("Link to GNOME live!")
# add the button to the window
self.add(button)
class MyApplication(Gtk.Application):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Application.__init__(self)
def do_activate(self):
win = MyWindow(self)
win.show_all()
def do_startup(self):
Gtk.Application.do_startup(self)
app = MyApplication()
exit_status = app.run(sys.argv)
sys.exit(exit_status)
get_visited() returns the 'visited' state (True or False) of the URI where the LinkButton points. The button becomes visited when it is clicked.
set_visited(True) sets the 'visited' state of the URI where the LinkButton points as True (analogously for False).
Each time the button is clicked, the signal "activate-link" is emitted. For an explanation of signals and callback functions, see .
In this sample we used the following:
