Description

HildonCheckButton is a button containing a label and a check box which will remain 'pressed-in' when clicked. Clicking again will make the check box toggle its state.

HildonCheckButton is similar to the GtkCheckButton widget, but with a different appearance that combines a standard button and a check box.

The state of a HildonCheckButton can be set using hildon_check_button_set_active(), and retrieved using hildon_check_button_get_active(). The label can be set using gtk_button_set_label() and retrieved using gtk_button_get_label().

Note

HildonCheckButton does NOT support an image, so don't use gtk_button_set_image().

Example 6. Using a Hildon check button

void
button_toggled (HildonCheckButton *button, gpointer user_data)
{
    gboolean active;

    active = hildon_check_button_get_active (button);
    if (active)
       g_debug ("Button is active");
    else
       g_debug ("Button is not active");
}

GtkWidget *
create_button (void)
{
    GtkWidget *button;

    button = hildon_check_button_new (HILDON_SIZE_AUTO);
    gtk_button_set_label (GTK_BUTTON (button), "Click me");

    g_signal_connect (button, "toggled", G_CALLBACK (button_toggled), NULL);

    return button;
}
