Variable: GtkWindowControls

const GtkWindowControls: "GtkWindowControls"

Defined in: generated/jsx.ts:21243

Shows window frame controls.

Typical window frame controls are minimize, maximize and close buttons, and the window icon.

GtkWindowControls only displays start or end side of the controls (see Gtk.WindowControls.side), so it's intended to be always used in pair with another GtkWindowControls for the opposite side, for example:

<object class="GtkBox">
  <child>
    <object class="GtkWindowControls">
      <property name="side">start</property>
    </object>
  </child>

  ...

  <child>
    <object class="GtkWindowControls">
      <property name="side">end</property>
    </object>
  </child>
</object>

CSS nodes

windowcontrols
├── [image.icon]
├── [button.minimize]
├── [button.maximize]
╰── [button.close]

A GtkWindowControls' CSS node is called windowcontrols. It contains subnodes corresponding to each title button. Which of the title buttons exist and where they are placed exactly depends on the desktop environment and Gtk.WindowControls.decoration-layout value.

When Gtk.WindowControls.empty is true, it gets the .empty style class.

Accessibility

GtkWindowControls uses the Gtk.AccessibleRole.group role.
