List of all members.

## Detailed Description

A Gtk::Bin with a decorative frame and optional label.

The Frame widget surrounds its single child with a decorative frame and an optional label. If present, the label is drawn in a gap in the top side of the frame. The position of the label can be controlled with set_label_align().

## Member Function Documentation

virtual void Gtk::Frame::compute_child_allocation_vfunc | ( | Allocation& | allocation | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Glib::ustring Gtk::Frame::get_label | ( |  | ) | const

| If the frame's label widget is a Gtk::Label, returns the text in the label widget. (The frame will have a Gtk::Label for the label widget if a non-`0` argument was passed to new().) Returns: The text in the label, or `0` if there was no label widget or the lable widget was not a Gtk::Label. This string is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified or freed.

void Gtk::Frame::get_label_align | ( | float& | xalign,
|  | float& | yalign
| ) | const

  | Retrieves the X and Y alignment of the frame's label. See set_label_align(). Parameters:
  | xalign | Location to store X alignment of frame's label, or `0`.
  | yalign | Location to store X alignment of frame's label, or `0`.

const Widget* Gtk::Frame::get_label_widget | ( |  | ) | const

| Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See set_label_widget(). Returns: The label widget, or `0` if there is none.

Widget* Gtk::Frame::get_label_widget | ( |  | ) |

| Retrieves the label widget for the frame. See set_label_widget(). Returns: The label widget, or `0` if there is none.

ShadowType Gtk::Frame::get_shadow_type | ( |  | ) | const

| Retrieves the shadow type of the frame. See set_shadow_type(). Returns: The current shadow type of the frame.

const GtkFrame* Gtk::Frame::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject. Reimplemented from Gtk::Bin. Reimplemented in Gtk::AspectFrame.

GtkFrame* Gtk::Frame::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

| Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject. Reimplemented from Gtk::Bin. Reimplemented in Gtk::AspectFrame.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<Glib::ustring> Gtk::Frame::property_label | ( |  | ) | const

| Text of the frame's label. You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them. Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<Glib::ustring> Gtk::Frame::property_label | ( |  | ) |

| Text of the frame's label. You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them. Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<Widget*> Gtk::Frame::property_label_widget | ( |  | ) | const

| A widget to display in place of the usual frame label. You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them. Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<Widget*> Gtk::Frame::property_label_widget | ( |  | ) |

| A widget to display in place of the usual frame label. You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Glib::PropertyProxy<double> Gtk::Frame::property_label_xalign | ( |  | ) |

| The horizontal alignment of the label. You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them. Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<double> Gtk::Frame::property_label_yalign | ( |  | ) | const

void Gtk::Frame::set_label | ( | const Glib::ustring& | label | ) |

void Gtk::Frame::set_label_align | ( | AlignmentEnum | xalign,
|  | AlignmentEnum | yalign = `Gtk::ALIGN_CENTER`
| ) |

  | Sets the alignment of the frame widget's label. The default values for a newly created frame are 0.0 and 0.5. Parameters:
  | xalign | The position of the label along the top edge of the widget. A value of 0.0 represents left alignment; 1.0 represents right alignment.
  | yalign | The y alignment of the label. A value of 0.0 aligns under the frame; 1.0 aligns above the frame.

void Gtk::Frame::set_label_align | ( | float | xalign = `0.0`,

| ) |

  | Sets the alignment of the frame widget's label. The default values for a newly created frame are 0.0 and 0.5. Parameters:
  | xalign | The position of the label along the top edge of the widget. A value of 0.0 represents left alignment; 1.0 represents right alignment.
  | yalign | The y alignment of the label. A value of 0.0 aligns under the frame; 1.0 aligns above the frame.

void Gtk::Frame::set_label_widget | ( | Widget& | label_widget | ) |

  | Sets the label widget for the frame. This is the widget that will appear embedded in the top edge of the frame as a title. Parameters:

void Gtk::Frame::set_shadow_type | ( | ShadowType | type | ) |

  | Sets the shadow type for frame . Parameters:
