STRUCT

Button

The GtkButton widget is generally used to trigger a callback function that is called when the button is pressed.

An example GtkButton

The GtkButton widget can hold any valid child widget. That is, it can hold almost any other standard GtkWidget. The most commonly used child is the GtkLabel.

CSS nodes

GtkButton has a single CSS node with name button. The node will get the style classes .image-button or .text-button, if the content is just an image or label, respectively. It may also receive the .flat style class. When activating a button via the keyboard, the button will temporarily gain the .keyboard-activating style class.

Other style classes that are commonly used with GtkButton include .suggested-action and .destructive-action. In special cases, buttons can be made round by adding the .circular style class.

Button-like widgets like [class@Gtk.ToggleButton], [class@Gtk.MenuButton], [class@Gtk.VolumeButton], [class@Gtk.LockButton], [class@Gtk.ColorButton] or [class@Gtk.FontButton] use style classes such as .toggle, .popup, .scale, .lock, .color on the button node to differentiate themselves from a plain GtkButton.

Accessibility

GtkButton uses the %GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_BUTTON role.
