Description

The gtk.Notebook widget is a gtk.Container whose children are overlapping pages that can be switched between by using tab labels along one edge. There are many configuration options for the gtk.Notebook. You can choose on which edge the tabs appear (see set_tab_pos()); whether the notebook should be made bigger or scrolling arrows added if there are too many tabs to fit (see set_scrollable()); and, whether there will be a popup menu allowing the users to switch pages. (see popup_enable(), popup_disable()).

The gtk.Notebook is particularly useful for displaying a large number of application controls that can be grouped into several functional areas. The typical example is the user preferences dialog in some applications. For example, a notebook page can be setup for each of font selection, color selection, formating, etc.

Constructor

    gtk.Notebook()

Returns : the newly created gtk.Notebook

The append_page() method appends a page to the notebook using the widget specified by child and the widget specified by tab_label as the label on the tab.

In PyGTK 2.4 and above tab_label can be None to use a default label. Also if tab_label is not specified it will default to None.

In PyGTK 2.4 and above menu_label can be None to use a default label. Also if menu_label is not specified it will default to None. See the append_page_menu() method for more information.

gtk.Notebook.set_menu_label_text

    def set_menu_label_text(child, menu_text)

`child` :	a widget contained in a notebook page

    def query_tab_label_packing(child)

`child` :	the page
Returns :	a tuple containing: the expand value, the fill value and the pack type

The query_tab_label_packing() method returns a tuple containing the packing attributes (expand, fill, pack type) for the tab label of the page containing child. If the expand attribute is TRUE the tab can expand to take up the free space in the tab area. If fill is TRUE the label widget in the tab can use up all the space in the tab. The pack type can be one of gtk.PACK_START or gtk.PACK_END to specify whether the tab is packed to the left or right if tabs are on the top or bottom edge (top or bottom if the tabs are on the left or right edge).

`pack_type` :	the position of the tab: `gtk.PACK_START` or `gtk.PACK_END`

The set_tab_label_packing() method sets the packing parameters for the tab label of the page containing child. If expand is TRUE the tab can expand to take up the free space in the tab area. If fill is TRUE the label widget in the tab can use up all the space in the tab. The pack_type can be one of gtk.PACK_START or gtk.PACK_END to specify whether the tab is packed to the left or right if tabs are on the top or bottom edge (top or bottom if the tabs are on the left or right edge).See gtk.Box.pack_start() for the exact meaning of the parameters.

gtk.Notebook.reorder_child

    def reorder_child(child, position)

`child` :	the child widget to move
`position` :	the index of the page that `child` is to move to, or -1 to move to the end

gtk.Notebook.set_group_id

    def set_group_id(group_id)

group_id : a group identifier, or -1 to unset it

Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The set_group_id() method sets the group identifier for the notebook to the value specified by group_id. Notebooks sharing the same group identifier will be able to exchange tabs via drag and drop. A notebook with group identifier -1 will not be able to exchange tabs with any other notebook.

gtk.Notebook.get_group_id

    def get_group_id()

Returns :

the group identifier, or -1 if none is set.

Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The get_group_id() method returns the current group identifier for the notebook.

gtk.Notebook.get_tab_reorderable

    def get_tab_reorderable(child)

`child` :	a child `gtk.Widget`
Returns :	`TRUE` if the tab is reorderable.

Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The get_tab_reorderable() method returns TRUE if the tab can be reordered via drag and drop.

gtk.Notebook.set_tab_reorderable

    def set_tab_reorderable(child, reorderable)

`child` :	a child `gtk.Widget`
`reorderable` :	if `TRUE` the tab is reorderable.

Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The set_tab_reorderable() method sets the "reorderable" property of child to the value of reorderable. If reorderable is TRUE, the notebook tab can be reordered via drag and drop.

gtk.Notebook.get_tab_detachable

    def get_tab_detachable(child)

`child` :	a child `gtk.Widget`
Returns :	if `TRUE` the tab is detachable.

Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The get_tab_detachable() method returns the value of the "detachable" property of child. The method returns TRUE if the tab contents can be detached from notebook.

gtk.Notebook.set_tab_detachable

    def set_tab_detachable(child, detachable)

`child` :	a child `gtk.Widget`
`detachable` :	if `TRUE` the tab is detachable or not

Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The set_tab_detachable() method sets the "detachable" property of child to the value specified by detachable. If detachable is TRUE, child can be moved from this notebook to another notebook or widget.

Note that two notebooks must share a common group identifier (see the set_group_id() method) to allow automatic tabs interchange between them.

If you want a widget to interact with a notebook through DnD (i.e.: accept dragged tabs from it) it must be set as a drop destination and accept the target "gtk.NOTEBOOK_TAB". The notebook will fill the selection with a reference to the child widget that corresponds to the dropped tab.

If you want a notebook to accept drags from other widgets, you will have to set your own DnD code to do it.

`page_num` :	the new page number for `child`
`user_param1` :	the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` :	additional user parameters (if any)

Note

This signal is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The "page-added" signal is emitted when a page is added to the notebook.

The "page-removed" Signal

    def callback(notebook, child, page_num, user_param1, ...)

`notebook` :	the notebook that received the signal
`child` :	the child `gtk.Widget` affected
`page_num` :	the new page number for `child`
`user_param1` :	the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` :	additional user parameters (if any)

Note

This signal is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The "page-removed" signal is emitted after a page is removed from the notebook.

The "page-reordered" Signal

    def callback(notebook, child, page_num, user_param1, ...)

`notebook` :	the notebook that received the signal
`child` :	the child `gtk.Widget` affected
`page_num` :	the new page number for `child`
`user_param1` :	the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` :	additional user parameters (if any)

Note

This signal is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

The "page-reordered" signal is emitted when a page has been reordered.

The "select-page" gtk.Notebook Signal

    def callback(notebook, move_focus, user_param1, ...)

`notebook` :	the notebook that received the signal
`move_focus` :	if `TRUE` move the focus to a child widget
`user_param1` :	the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` :	additional user parameters (if any)
Returns :	`TRUE` if the signal was handled

The "select-page" signal is emitted when a new child page is selected.

The "switch-page" gtk.Notebook Signal

    def callback(notebook, page, page_num, user_param1, ...)

`notebook` :	the notebook that received the signal
`page` :	the new current page
`page_num` :	the index of the new current page
`user_param1` :	the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` :	additional user parameters (if any)

The "switch-page" signal is emitted when the notebook page is changed. Note the page parameter is a GPointer and not usable within PyGTK. Use the page_num parameter to retrieve the new current page using the get_nth_page() method.
