GtkDropDown is a widget that allows the user to choose an item from a list of options.

The GtkDropDown displays the Gtk.DropDown:selected choice.

The options are given to GtkDropDown in the form of GListModel and how the individual options are represented is determined by a ListItemFactory. The default factory displays simple strings, and adds a checkmark to the selected item in the popup.

To set your own factory, use setFactory(org.gnome.gtk.ListItemFactory). It is possible to use a separate factory for the items in the popup, with setListFactory(org.gnome.gtk.ListItemFactory).

GtkDropDown knows how to obtain strings from the items in a StringList; for other models, you have to provide an expression to find the strings via setExpression(org.gnome.gtk.Expression).

GtkDropDown can optionally allow search in the popup, which is useful if the list of options is long. To enable the search entry, use setEnableSearch(boolean).

Here is a UI definition example for GtkDropDown with a simple model:

<object class="GtkDropDown">
   <property name="model">
     <object class="GtkStringList">
       <items>
         <item translatable="yes">Factory</item>
         <item translatable="yes">Home</item>
         <item translatable="yes">Subway</item>
       </items>
     </object>
   </property>
 </object>
 

If a GtkDropDown is created in this manner, or with fromStrings(java.lang.String[]), for instance, the object returned from getSelectedItem() will be a StringObject.

To learn more about the list widget framework, see the overview.

CSS nodes
GtkDropDown has a single CSS node with name dropdown, with the button and popover nodes as children.

Accessibility
GtkDropDown uses the AccessibleRole.COMBO_BOX role.

Constructor Details

DropDown

public DropDown(MemorySegment address)

Create a DropDown proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Parameters:

address - the memory address of the native object

DropDown

public DropDown(@Nullable
 @Nullable ListModel model,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable Expression expression)

Creates a new GtkDropDown.

You may want to call setFactory(org.gnome.gtk.ListItemFactory) to set up a way to map its items to widgets.

Parameters:

model - the model to use

expression - the expression to use

Method Details

getType

public static Type getType()

Get the GType of the DropDown class

Returns:

the GType

asParent

protected DropDown asParent()

Returns this instance as if it were its parent type. This is mostly synonymous to the Java super keyword, but will set the native typeclass function pointers to the parent type. When overriding a native virtual method in Java, "chaining up" with super.methodName() doesn't work, because it invokes the overridden function pointer again. To chain up, call asParent().methodName(). This will call the native function pointer of this virtual method in the typeclass of the parent type.

Overrides:

asParent in class Widget

fromStrings

public static DropDown fromStrings(String[] strings)

Creates a new GtkDropDown that is populated with the strings.

Parameters:

strings - The strings to put in the dropdown

Returns:

a new GtkDropDown

getEnableSearch

public boolean getEnableSearch()

Returns whether search is enabled.

Returns:

true if the popup includes a search entry

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Gets the expression set that is used to obtain strings from items.

See setExpression(org.gnome.gtk.Expression).

Returns:

a GtkExpression

getFactory

public ListItemFactory getFactory()

Gets the factory that's currently used to populate list items.

The factory returned by this function is always used for the item in the button. It is also used for items in the popup if Gtk.DropDown:list-factory is not set.

Returns:

The factory in use

getHeaderFactory

public ListItemFactory getHeaderFactory()

Gets the factory that's currently used to create header widgets for the popup.

Returns:

The factory in use

getListFactory

public ListItemFactory getListFactory()

Gets the factory that's currently used to populate list items in the popup.

Returns:

The factory in use

getModel

public ListModel getModel()

Gets the model that provides the displayed items.

Returns:

The model in use

getSearchMatchMode

public StringFilterMatchMode getSearchMatchMode()

Returns the match mode that the search filter is using.

Returns:

the match mode of the search filter

getSelected

public int getSelected()

Gets the position of the selected item.

Returns:

the position of the selected item, or GTK_INVALID_LIST_POSITION if not item is selected

getSelectedItem

public GObject getSelectedItem()

Gets the selected item. If no item is selected, null is returned.

Returns:

The selected item

getShowArrow

public boolean getShowArrow()

Returns whether to show an arrow within the widget.

Returns:

true if an arrow will be shown.

setEnableSearch

public void setEnableSearch(boolean enableSearch)

Sets whether a search entry will be shown in the popup that allows to search for items in the list.

Note that Gtk.DropDown:expression must be set for search to work.

Parameters:

enableSearch - whether to enable search

setExpression

public void setExpression(@Nullable
 @Nullable Expression expression)

Sets the expression that gets evaluated to obtain strings from items.

This is used for search in the popup. The expression must have a value type of G_TYPE_STRING.

 @Nullable ListModel model)

Sets the GListModel to use.

Parameters:

model - the model to use

setSearchMatchMode

public void setSearchMatchMode(StringFilterMatchMode searchMatchMode)

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• DropDown.ActivateCallback.run()

emitActivate
