Variable: PrintUnixDialog

const PrintUnixDialog: "PrintUnixDialog"

Defined in: react/src/generated/jsx.ts:14577

A print dialog for platforms which don’t provide a native print dialog, like Unix.

It can be used very much like any other GTK dialog, at the cost of the portability offered by the high-level printing API with [class@Gtk.PrintOperation].

In order to print something with GtkPrintUnixDialog, you need to use [method@Gtk.PrintUnixDialog.get_selected_printer] to obtain a [class@Gtk.Printer] object and use it to construct a [class@Gtk.PrintJob] using [ctor@Gtk.PrintJob.new].

GtkPrintUnixDialog uses the following response values:

  • %GTK_RESPONSE_OK: for the “Print” button
  • %GTK_RESPONSE_APPLY: for the “Preview” button
  • %GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL: for the “Cancel” button

GtkPrintUnixDialog as GtkBuildable

The GtkPrintUnixDialog implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes its notebook internal children with the name “notebook”.
