Variable: GtkStackSwitcher

const GtkStackSwitcher: "GtkStackSwitcher"

Defined in: generated/jsx.ts:19847

Shows a row of buttons to switch between GtkStack pages.

An example GtkStackSwitcher

It acts as a controller for the associated GtkStack.

All the content for the buttons comes from the properties of the stacks Gtk.StackPage objects; the button visibility in a GtkStackSwitcher widget is controlled by the visibility of the child in the GtkStack.

It is possible to associate multiple GtkStackSwitcher widgets with the same GtkStack widget.

CSS nodes

GtkStackSwitcher has a single CSS node named stackswitcher and style class .stack-switcher.

When circumstances require it, GtkStackSwitcher adds the .needs-attention style class to the widgets representing the stack pages.

Accessibility

GtkStackSwitcher uses the Gtk.AccessibleRole.tab_list role and uses the Gtk.AccessibleRole.tab role for its buttons.

Orientable

Since GTK 4.4, GtkStackSwitcher implements GtkOrientable allowing the stack switcher to be made vertical with gtk_orientable_set_orientation().
