Variable: WindowControls

const WindowControls: "WindowControls"

Defined in: react/src/generated/jsx.ts:16037

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 [property@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 [property@Gtk.WindowControls:decoration-layout] value.

When [property@Gtk.WindowControls:empty] is true, it gets the .empty style class.

Accessibility

GtkWindowControls uses the [enum@Gtk.AccessibleRole.group] role.
