Variable: AppChooserButton

const AppChooserButton: "AppChooserButton"

Defined in: react/src/generated/jsx.ts:10906

The GtkAppChooserButton lets the user select an application.

Initially, a GtkAppChooserButton selects the first application in its list, which will either be the most-recently used application or, if [property@Gtk.AppChooserButton:show-default-item] is %TRUE, the default application.

The list of applications shown in a GtkAppChooserButton includes the recommended applications for the given content type. When [property@Gtk.AppChooserButton:show-default-item] is set, the default application is also included. To let the user chooser other applications, you can set the [property@Gtk.AppChooserButton:show-dialog-item] property, which allows to open a full [class@Gtk.AppChooserDialog].

It is possible to add custom items to the list, using [method@Gtk.AppChooserButton.append_custom_item]. These items cause the [signal@Gtk.AppChooserButton::custom-item-activated] signal to be emitted when they are selected.

To track changes in the selected application, use the [signal@Gtk.AppChooserButton::changed] signal.
