<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkExpander
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
A container which can hide its child
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
A #GtkExpander allows the user to hide or show its child by clicking
on an expander triangle similar to the triangles used in a #GtkTreeView.
</para>
<para>
Normally you use an expander as you would use any other descendant
of #GtkBin; you create the child widget and use gtk_container_add()
to add it to the expander. When the expander is toggled, it will take
care of showing and hiding the child automatically.
</para>
<section id="expander-special-usage">
<title>Special Usage</title>
<para>
There are situations in which you may prefer to show and hide the
expanded widget yourself, such as when you want to actually create
the widget at expansion time. In this case, create a #GtkExpander
but do not add a child to it. The expander widget has an
<literal>expanded</literal> property which can be used to monitor
its expansion state. You should watch this property with a signal
connection as follows:
</para>
<programlisting id="expander-callback-example">
expander = gtk_expander_new_with_mnemonic ("_More Options");
g_signal_connect (expander, "notify::expanded",
G_CALLBACK (expander_callback), NULL);
...
static void
expander_callback (GObject *object,
GParamSpec *param_spec,
gpointer user_data)
{
GtkExpander *expander;
expander = GTK_EXPANDER (object);
if (gtk_expander_get_expanded (expander))
{
/* Show or create widgets */
}
else
{
/* Hide or destroy widgets */
}
}
</programlisting>
</section>
<refsect2 id="GtkExpander-BUILDER-UI">
<title>GtkExpander as GtkBuildable</title>
<para>
The GtkExpander implementation of the GtkBuildable interface
supports placing a child in the label position by specifying
"label" as the "type" attribute of a &lt;child&gt; element.
