Constructor Details

Builder

protected Builder()

Default constructor for a Builder object.

Method Details

build

public Label build()

Finish building the Label object. This will call GObject.withProperties(org.gnome.glib.Type, java.lang.String[], org.gnome.gobject.Value[]) to create a new GObject instance, which is then cast to Label.

Overrides:

build in class Widget.Builder<B extends Label.Builder<B>>

Returns:

a new instance of Label with the properties that were set in the Builder object.

setAttributes

public B setAttributes(AttrList attributes)

A list of style attributes to apply to the text of the label.

Parameters:

attributes - the value for the attributes property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setEllipsize

public B setEllipsize(EllipsizeMode ellipsize)

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the label does not have enough room to display the entire string.

Note that setting this property to a value other than EllipsizeMode.NONE has the side-effect that the label requests only enough space to display the ellipsis "...". In particular, this means that ellipsizing labels do not work well in notebook tabs, unless the Gtk.NotebookPage:tab-expand child property is set to true. Other ways to set a label's width are Widget.setSizeRequest(int, int) and Label.setWidthChars(int).

Parameters:

ellipsize - the value for the ellipsize property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setExtraMenu

public B setExtraMenu(MenuModel extraMenu)

A menu model whose contents will be appended to the context menu.

Parameters:

extraMenu - the value for the extra-menu property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setJustify

public B setJustify(Justification justify)

The alignment of the lines in the text of the label, relative to each other.

This does not affect the alignment of the label within its allocation. See Gtk.Label:xalign for that.

Parameters:

justify - the value for the justify property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setLabel

public B setLabel(String label)

The contents of the label.

If the string contains Pango markup (see Pango.parseMarkup(java.lang.String, int, int, io.github.jwharm.javagi.base.Out<org.gnome.pango.AttrList>, io.github.jwharm.javagi.base.Out<java.lang.String>, io.github.jwharm.javagi.base.Out<java.lang.Integer>)), you will have to set the Gtk.Label:use-markup property to true in order for the label to display the markup attributes. See also Label.setMarkup(java.lang.String) for a convenience function that sets both this property and the Gtk.Label:use-markup property at the same time.

If the string contains underlines acting as mnemonics, you will have to set the Gtk.Label:use-underline property to true in order for the label to display them.

Parameters:

label - the value for the label property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setLines

public B setLines(int lines)

The number of lines to which an ellipsized, wrapping label should be limited.

This property has no effect if the label is not wrapping or ellipsized. Set this property to -1 if you don't want to limit the number of lines.

Parameters:

lines - the value for the lines property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setMaxWidthChars

public B setMaxWidthChars(int maxWidthChars)

The desired maximum width of the label, in characters.

If this property is set to -1, the width will be calculated automatically.

See the section on text layout for details of how Gtk.Label:width-chars and Gtk.Label:max-width-chars determine the width of ellipsized and wrapped labels.

Parameters:

maxWidthChars - the value for the max-width-chars property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setMnemonicWidget

public B setMnemonicWidget(Widget mnemonicWidget)

The widget to be activated when the labels mnemonic key is pressed.

Parameters:

mnemonicWidget - the value for the mnemonic-widget property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setNaturalWrapMode

public B setNaturalWrapMode(NaturalWrapMode naturalWrapMode)

Select the line wrapping for the natural size request.

This only affects the natural size requested. For the actual wrapping used, see the Gtk.Label:wrap-mode property.

The default is NaturalWrapMode.INHERIT, which inherits the behavior of the Gtk.Label:wrap-mode property.

Parameters:

naturalWrapMode - the value for the natural-wrap-mode property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setSelectable

public B setSelectable(boolean selectable)

Whether the label text can be selected with the mouse.

Parameters:

selectable - the value for the selectable property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setSingleLineMode

public B setSingleLineMode(boolean singleLineMode)

Whether the label is in single line mode.

In single line mode, the height of the label does not depend on the actual text, it is always set to ascent + descent of the font. This can be an advantage in situations where resizing the label because of text changes would be distracting, e.g. in a statusbar.

Parameters:

singleLineMode - the value for the single-line-mode property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setTabs

public B setTabs(TabArray tabs)

Custom tabs for this label.

Parameters:

tabs - the value for the tabs property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setUseMarkup

public B setUseMarkup(boolean useMarkup)

true if the text of the label includes Pango markup.

See Pango.parseMarkup(java.lang.String, int, int, io.github.jwharm.javagi.base.Out<org.gnome.pango.AttrList>, io.github.jwharm.javagi.base.Out<java.lang.String>, io.github.jwharm.javagi.base.Out<java.lang.Integer>).

Parameters:

useMarkup - the value for the use-markup property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setUseUnderline

public B setUseUnderline(boolean useUnderline)

true if the text of the label indicates a mnemonic with an _ before the mnemonic character.

Parameters:

useUnderline - the value for the use-underline property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setWidthChars

public B setWidthChars(int widthChars)

The desired width of the label, in characters.

If this property is set to -1, the width will be calculated automatically.

See the section on text layout for details of how Gtk.Label:width-chars and Gtk.Label:max-width-chars determine the width of ellipsized and wrapped labels.

Parameters:

widthChars - the value for the width-chars property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setWrap

public B setWrap(boolean wrap)

true if the label text will wrap if it gets too wide.

Parameters:

wrap - the value for the wrap property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setWrapMode

public B setWrapMode(WrapMode wrapMode)

Controls how the line wrapping is done.

This only affects the formatting if line wrapping is on (see the Gtk.Label:wrap property). The default is WrapMode.WORD, which means wrap on word boundaries.

For sizing behavior, also consider the Gtk.Label:natural-wrap-mode property.

Parameters:

wrapMode - the value for the wrap-mode property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setXalign

public B setXalign(float xalign)

The horizontal alignment of the label text inside its size allocation.

Compare this to Gtk.Widget:halign, which determines how the labels size allocation is positioned in the space available for the label.

Parameters:

xalign - the value for the xalign property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

setYalign

public B setYalign(float yalign)

The vertical alignment of the label text inside its size allocation.

Compare this to Gtk.Widget:valign, which determines how the labels size allocation is positioned in the space available for the label.

Parameters:

yalign - the value for the yalign property

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

onActivateCurrentLink

public B onActivateCurrentLink(Label.ActivateCurrentLinkCallback handler)

Gets emitted when the user activates a link in the label.

The ::activate-current-link is a keybinding signal.

Applications may also emit the signal with g_signal_emit_by_name() if they need to control activation of URIs programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal are all forms of the Enter key.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

See Also:

• Label.ActivateCurrentLinkCallback.run()

onActivateLink

public B onActivateLink(Label.ActivateLinkCallback handler)

Gets emitted to activate a URI.

Applications may connect to it to override the default behaviour, which is to call FileLauncher.launch(org.gnome.gtk.Window, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback).

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

See Also:

• Label.ActivateLinkCallback.run(java.lang.String)

onCopyClipboard

public B onCopyClipboard(Label.CopyClipboardCallback handler)

Gets emitted to copy the selection to the clipboard.

The ::copy-clipboard signal is a keybinding signal.

The default binding for this signal is Ctrl+c.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

See Also:

• Label.CopyClipboardCallback.run()

onMoveCursor

public B onMoveCursor(Label.MoveCursorCallback handler)

Gets emitted when the user initiates a cursor movement.

The ::move-cursor signal is a keybinding signal. If the cursor is not visible in entry, this signal causes the viewport to be moved instead.

Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with g_signal_emit_by_name() if they need to control the cursor programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal come in two variants, the variant with the Shift modifier extends the selection, the variant without the Shift modifier does not. There are too many key combinations to list them all here.

• ←, →, ↑, ↓ move by individual characters/lines
• Ctrl+←, etc. move by words/paragraphs
• Home and End move to the ends of the buffer

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

the Builder instance is returned, to allow method chaining

See Also:

• Label.MoveCursorCallback.run(org.gnome.gtk.MovementStep, int, boolean)
