## Detailed Description

Container which shows one of its children at a time, in tabbed windows.

The Gtk::Notebook widget is a Gtk::Container whose children are pages that can be switched between using tab labels along one edge.

You can use the PageList returned by pages() as any normal STL container to manipulate the pages.

A Notebook widget looks like this:

Parameters:

  | page_num | The index of a notebook page, starting from 0. If -1, the last page will be removed.

void Gtk::Notebook::reorder_child | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | int | position |
| ) |  |  |

Reorders the page containing child, so that it appears in position position.

If position is greater than or equal to the number of children in the list or negative, child will be moved to the end of the list.

Parameters:

  | child | The child to move.
  | position | The new position, or -1 to move to the end.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_current_page | ( | int | page_num | ) |

Switches to the page number page_num.

Note that due to historical reasons, GtkNotebook refuses to switch to a page unless the child widget is visible. Therefore, it is recommended to show child widgets before adding them to a notebook.

Parameters:

  | page_num | Index of the page to switch to, starting from 0. If negative, the last page will be used. If greater than the number of pages in the notebook, nothing will be done.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_group | ( | void * | group | ) |

Sets a group identificator pointer for notebook, notebooks sharing the same group identificator pointer will be able to exchange tabs via drag and drop.

A notebook with a `0` group identificator will not be able to exchange tabs with any other notebook.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

  | group | A pointer to identify the notebook group, or `0` to unset it.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_group_id | ( | int | group_id | ) |

Sets an group identificator for notebook, notebooks sharing the same group identificator will be able to exchange tabs via drag and drop.

A notebook with group identificator -1 will not be able to exchange tabs with any other notebook.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Deprecated: 2.12: use set_group() instead.

Parameters:

  | group_id | A group identificator, or -1 to unset it.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_menu_label | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | Widget& | menu_label |
| ) |  |  |

Changes the menu label for the page containing child.

Parameters:

  | child | The child widget.
  | menu_label | The menu label, or `0` for default.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_menu_label_text | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | menu_text |
| ) |  |  |

Creates a new label and sets it as the menu label of child.

Parameters:

  | child | The child widget.
  | menu_text | The label text.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_scrollable | ( | bool | scrollable = `true` | ) |

Sets whether the tab label area will have arrows for scrolling if there are too many tabs to fit in the area.

Parameters:

  | scrollable | `true` if scroll arrows should be added.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_show_border | ( | bool | show_border = `true` | ) |

Sets whether a bevel will be drawn around the notebook pages.

This only has a visual effect when the tabs are not shown. See set_show_tabs().

Parameters:

  | show_border | `true` if a bevel should be drawn around the notebook.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_show_tabs | ( | bool | show_tabs = `true` | ) |

Sets whether to show the tabs for the notebook or not.

Parameters:

  | show_tabs | `true` if the tabs should be shown.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_tab_detachable | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | bool | detachable = `true` |
| ) |  |  |

Sets whether the tab can be detached from notebook to another notebook or widget.

Note that 2 notebooks must share a common group identificator (see set_group_id()) to allow automatic tabs interchange between them.

If you want a widget to interact with a notebook through DnD (i.e.: accept dragged tabs from it) it must be set as a drop destination and accept the target "GTK_NOTEBOOK_TAB". The notebook will fill the selection with a GtkWidget** pointing to the child widget that corresponds to the dropped tab. |[ static void on_drop_zone_drag_data_received (GtkWidget *widget, GdkDragContext *context, `int` x, `int` y, GtkSelectionData *selection_data, `unsigned int` info, `unsigned int` time, gpointer user_data) { GtkWidget *notebook; GtkWidget **child;

notebook = gtk_drag_get_source_widget (context); child = (void*) selection_data->data;

process_widget (*child); gtk_container_remove (GTK_CONTAINER (notebook), *child); } ]|

If you want a notebook to accept drags from other widgets, you will have to set your own DnD code to do it.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters:

  | child | A child Gtk::Widget.
  | detachable | Whether the tab is detachable or not.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_tab_label | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | Widget& | tab_label |
| ) |  |  |

Changes the tab label for child.

If `0` is specified for tab_label, then the page will have the label 'page N'.

Parameters:

  | child | The page.
  | tab_label | The tab label widget to use, or `0` for default tab label.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_tab_label_packing | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | bool | expand,
|  | bool | fill,
|  | PackType | pack_type |
| ) |  |  |

Sets the packing parameters for the tab label of the page containing child.

See Gtk::Box::pack_start() for the exact meaning of the parameters.

Parameters:

  | child | The child widget.
  | expand | Whether to expand the bookmark or not.
  | fill | Whether the bookmark should fill the allocated area or not.
  | pack_type | The position of the bookmark.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_tab_label_text | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | tab_text |
| ) |  |  |

Creates a new label and sets it as the tab label for the page containing child.

Parameters:

  | child | The page.
  | tab_text | The label text.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_tab_pos | ( | PositionType | pos | ) |

Sets the edge at which the tabs for switching pages in the notebook are drawn.

Parameters:

  | pos | The edge to draw the tabs at.

void Gtk::Notebook::set_tab_reorderable | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | bool | reorderable = `true` |
| ) |  |  |

Sets whether the notebook tab can be reordered via drag and drop or not.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters:

  | child | A child Gtk::Widget.
  | reorderable | Whether the tab is reorderable or not.
